What is coaching?
Coaching is a dynamic and transformative partnership between a coach and an individual or a group, with the primary aim of unlocking their untapped potential and facilitating personal or professional growth. It is a structured process where the coach employs various techniques, including active listening, asking thought-provoking questions, and providing constructive feedback.
The essence of coaching is to help clients set clear, meaningful goals, identify and overcome obstacles, and develop practical strategies to reach those goals. Whether it's in the realm of leadership, career development, personal growth, or any other area, coaching is about empowering individuals to make informed decisions, improve their skills, and maximize their performance.
It's important to note that coaching is not about providing answers or advice; instead, it's a process that helps individuals find their own solutions and realize their potential. The coach acts as a supportive guide, offering insights and encouragement, and creating a safe space for self-discovery and personal or professional development.

What do I need to do to prepare for my initial call?
Preparing for an initial call with a coach is essential to ensure a productive and meaningful conversation. It is really about looking for a fit. Here are some steps to help you get ready:
-
Clarify Your Goals: Think about what you want to achieve through coaching. What specific challenges or aspirations do you have? Understanding what you want to work on will help you and the coach determine if you're a good fit.
-
What to Share: During the fit call, you'll likely discuss personal and professional matters. Think about what you're comfortable sharing and what boundaries you'd like to establish in the coaching relationship.
-
Logistics: Confirm the logistics of the call, such as the date, time, and the platform you'll be using (e.g., phone, video conference). Ensure you have a quiet and private space for the call.
-
Be Open-Minded: Approach the call with an open mind and a willingness to explore new ideas and perspectives. Coaching is about personal growth and learning.
Remember that the initial "fit" call is a two-way assessment. The coach will also be evaluating if they can effectively work with you. Be honest, ask questions, and use this conversation as an opportunity to gauge whether the coach's style and approach align with your needs and objectives. If both parties feel it's a good fit, you can proceed with the coaching relationship
