Coaching is a Special Relationship Between Coach and Client
The relationship between the Coach and the Client is special because they work together in an ideal environment where the Client becomes resourceful, empowered and energized so he can overcome mental obstacles, be decisive, confident. awareness with clarity, content and successful.
What Coaching is NOT
- Coaching is not conventional therapy. Coaching is an interactive session where you are not judged and you get work on strategies and gain resourceful tools for the betterment of your life (you don’t just talk about your past or someone listens to your story)
- Coaching is not about, giving me a magic pill (or give me a fish to eat for the day) – coaching helps you learn how to fish so you can eat everyday of your life.
- Coaching is NOT a patient seeing a doctor; this is not that type of relationship. Coaching presumes there is nothing wrong with you, as a person. Therefore you are treated as a client, not as a patient.
What Coach is All About and More
Think of a professional basketball game, or football, professional tennis or the Olympics. These sports that have player and coach is very much similar to Relationship Coaching, Mindset Coaching, Executive Coaching, etc. The client is the player, and the coach, is the sports Head Coach. The Coach helps the Client (Player) to improve his game. Coach helps the client improve, achieve goals and successes.
In this Geeks Want Love, the Relationship Coach helps you identify or have awareness of what strategies are not working in your life or relationship then coach you to be resourceful so you can attain the tools you need to improve or enhance your ability to get into a relationship or deepen the quality of your existing relationship. The result is satisfaction, happiness, and more. The Coach energizes and empowers you.
Therapy gives you advise or medicine. Coaching shows you options, tools, strategies, vision, helps you plan your purpose – you have the right and the privilege to choose. This is empowering.
Biggest advantage of Coaching: the coach does not need knowledge, in fact knowledge is a liability to a coach. Coaching works on your WHY and then the HOW.
Notes about Mentoring
Mentoring is about having done the do before. The mentor has gone ahead of you and have experienced. Therefore is qualified to show you the way. Show you the pitfalls. Gives you the proverbial breadcrumbs to follow.
Coaching empowers his client to make his own path.
