Coaching is a tool for empowering you as a leader. 

It helps you identify what is most pressing, reflect on results, explore new actions and approaches, and take consistent action toward desired goals. 

It is “partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.”  (ICF)

Coaching is NOT Counseling/Therapy, Spiritual Direction, Mentoring or Consulting.  In Coaching, you are the expert and it is the role of the coach to provide a framework for you to recognize your own expertise.  In addition, you are responsible for the outcome and generate your own plans and actions. 

Coaching occurs in 15-minute or 30-minute time frames and begins by asking the question “what do you want to talk about?”  You would direct the conversation and by the end of that time, come up with an action item that you would accomplish in the next 10-14 days, as well as identify an individual who will help keep you accountable to that task.

Rosina Hendrickson is an International Coaching Federation trained coach.  Contact her for addiitonal information on scheduling your Coaching Conversation.
