What is coaching?
The International Coaching Federation defines coaching as “partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. The process of coaching often unlocks previously untapped sources of imagination, productivity and leadership.”
We all have goals we want to reach, challenges we’re striving to overcome and times when we feel stuck. Partnering with a coach can change your life, setting you on a path to greater personal and professional fulfilment. I believe you have all the answers within you, like a sculptor sees a statue within granite, and it’s my job as a coach to help chip away the excess stone hiding your true self, to reveal your full potential.
Coaching may address specific personal projects, business successes, and/or general conditions of your life or profession. You get to set your own homework if you wish to get the most from these sessions.
Coaching services may include values clarification, brainstorming, examining modes of operating in life, somatic work, visualisations, identifying plans of action, the sharing of educational information, the asking of clarifying questions and the making of empowering requests. With Equus Coaching this includes working with a horse, on the ground, with Joanna present at all times.
Coaching is not therapy.
As client, you are fully responsible for your well-being during, after and between my coaching calls. You are responsible for all the choices you make, and it is your responsibility to state your needs around my sessions. You can ask Joanna to further explain more about the difference between coaching, mentoring and therapy at any time.
