What is Coaching?

Coaching is a new profession.

How is coaching different from consulting, therapy, sports coaching and having a supportive friend?

Coaching is similar to consulting. However, consulting provides temporary or intermittent solutions. Coaching is a consistent, on going relationship where the coach stays with the client to help implement new skills, changes and goals. Another distinction is that consulting often involves dispensing advice, telling people what they should do. Coaching is different in that it focuses on assisting you to discover a solution on your own.

Coaching is not therapy. Where therapy brings understanding and awareness of the past to a client; coaching provides the support and strategy to make changes based on the awareness that you hold. Coaching is movement oriented and action based.

Coaching includes several principles from sports coaching like teamwork, meeting and exceeding potential in order to be your best. Unlike sports coaching, the results are not win or lose based. As coaches we focus on strengthening your skills from the first session forward. Any amount of coaching will benefit you from this perspective.

A supportive friend is wonderful to have in life, yet does not hold the objectivity and distance that a coach does. A coach is a professional who is trusted to work with you on the most important aspects of your life and/or business. A coach offers a different perspective of the truth because of the emotional distance the professional relationship offers.

Coaches assist any client in attaining all three, quickly.

Why is coaching becoming so popular?

Coaching is becoming popular for several reasons:

1. many people are tired of doing what they think they "should" do and are ready do what they "want" to do, understanding that they have the choice.
2. People are realizing how simple it can be to accomplish something that several years ago might have felt out of reach. More people are creating the time and resources to invest in themselves in this kind of growth as they see the long term benefits.
3. Spirituality. Our society is looking for deeper meaning in our lives and work. Companies are looking to innovative ways of growing themselves from the inside out; starting with themselves and their employees.

Can I hire you just for a short-term project?

Yes. Some clients hire us to help them accomplish specific goals or projects. Usually, however, the client keeps working with us after that because of the synergy created and the support the relationship provides in setting and meeting goals.

How long must I commit if I start working with a coach?

We ask for a minimum one month commitment, however you will benefit more by undertaking a program of coaching that is three months or longer. There is always the option to discontinue coaching immediately if the partnership is not working for you

IAC Code of Ethics

Ethical Principles

Competence: Coaches will maintain high standards of competence in their work.

Integrity: Coaches will represent themselves in an honest and fair manner, being cognizant of their particular competencies and limitations.

Coaches strive to be aware of their own belief systems, values, needs, and limitations and the effect of these on their work. To the extent feasible, they attempt to clarify for relevant parties the roles they are performing and to function appropriately in accordance with those roles.

Professional Responsibility: Coaches will uphold standards of ethical conduct that reflect well on the individual coach as well as the profession at large.

Respect for People's Rights and Dignity: Coaches will treat clients with dignity and respect being aware of cultural differences, and the client's right to autonomy, privacy, and confidentiality.

Coaches accord appropriate respect to the fundamental rights, dignity, and worth of all people. They respect the rights of individuals to privacy, confidentiality, self-determination, and autonomy, mindful that legal and other obligations may lead to inconsistency and conflict with the exercise of these rights. Coaches are aware of cultural, individual, and role differences, including those due to age, gender, race, ethnicity, national origin, religion, sexual orientation, disability, language, and socio-economic status.

Coaches try to eliminate the effect on their work of biases based on those factors, and they do not knowingly participate in or condone unfair discriminatory practices.
