about coaching
Coaching is simply a conversation designed to enable you to get from where you are to where you want to be. It is more than just talking things through, it is designed to sharpen your thinking, to liberate your imagination and to strengthen your resolve. It can empower you to change your life, gain new perspectives and impact your world.
How is it different from talking to your family or friends? A coach is able to listen impartially, without preconceptions or expectations, which those near to you might bring with them, and can ask difficult questions, solely designed to help you find solutions for your individual situation.
If you talk to a man in a language he understands, that goes to his head. If you talk to him in his language, that goes to his heart.
Nelson Mandela
Human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives.
William James
