What Is Coaching?

The International Coaching Federation defines coaching is partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. Coaches help people improve their performances and enhance the quality of their lives.

No one NEEDS a coach but almost anyone can benefit from having one. Partnering with another person is a great way to increase the energy around you and build momentum. Coaches are trained to listen, to observe and to customize their approach to individual client needs. They seek to elicit solutions and strategies from the client; they believe the client is naturally creative and resourceful. The coach's job is to provide support to enhance the skills, resources, and creativity that the client already has.

Take a moment before you decide if this is the right path for you by answering these questions: If you continue this is your first assignment. .All assignments and weekly reviews will be due by a specific morning.. It is up to you to make sure that you do the work, or ask for assistance when you are unsure of your next step. If you need to cancel a week please make sure you let the coach know. If you want to schedule your review for a different day, go to the Bija Coaching website and Book your appointment online. Schedule a Soulutions Weekly Review for the date you would like your review to take place. Throughout the program the coach will request a Phone Consult. At that time you will go to the online appointments and schedule the Soulutions Phone Session. The online system is to keep our sessions organized. We may also do online chats rather than phone sessions. You may select the online chat session if you feel more comfortable with that.
