Why I Love Coaching!!!
May 12-18th is International Coaching week, and so it seems like a good time to acknowledge and celebrate the power of Coaching.
Coaching can be a transformational process, providing clients, the space to be open, authentic, curious and non-judgmental (of themselves!). As a Coach, I get to walk with clients on their journey of discovery, and I am always humbled by the strength, capacity and courage of those I collaborate with. Sharing truths, questioning ideas and perspectives, considering options, peering into unchartered waters, and being willing to take some risks are all elements of Coaching. I am most delighted when clients take a leap that they hadn’t thought possible and then recognize their own strengths and capabilities. People are awesome and Coaching brings that forward – It’s magic!
As an Organization Development Consultant, I had coached people in my work with leaders and teams, and it wasn’t until I went back to school to be certified as a Professional Coach (thank you to CTI – Coaches Training Institute), that I learned the unique power and benefits of the more specific and intentional Coaching process.
I continue to hone my own skills through ongoing Coach education and learning opportunities with colleagues who willingly share their own experiences, ideas and knowledge. I also am always learning from those I have the opportunity to coach, as clients bring their feedback and insights to the process we go through together.
Coaching rocks!!! It makes us all better, unlocking potential that is then shared more broadly in the communities and world around us. #CoActiveCoaching #InternationalCoachingWeek #Leadership Coaching #Leadership #TeamCoaching
