| Principles
of Coaching
We
believe
| • |
the
client is a creative, resourceful and whole person |
| • |
a
relationship between coach and client is a sanctuary/a safe place |
| • |
a
successful coaching process is one jointly agreed to by coach and
client |
| • |
skills
of listening, empathy, objectivity, and the giving of sound advice
are the skills we bring to the coaching process |
| • |
the coach must be a compassionate, non-judgmental person who understands
the process of change and can help the client make good decisions
about the future |
Objective:
Change
Change on the part of the client emerges through expanded self-awareness,
and a broader repertoire of behaviours upon which to draw.
Coaches’
Responsibility
|
•
discover, clarify, and align with what client wants to achieve
• encourage client through self-discovery
•
elicit client-generated solutions and strategies
•
hold client as responsible and accountable |
Coach
asks the question – client can accept, reject or counter-offer
Coaches’
Commitment
Our commitment to our clients is to create meaningful change, to act as
a sounding
board for complex issues, challenge and support, champion the client and
create a non-judgmental and accepting space for the client to explore
and experiment with new behaviours.
Program
Length
Our coaching and mentoring programs are based on the needs of the client
and the sponsoring organization. Each coaching situation is unique and
treated as such by our coaches.
