1. What is coaching?

2. What are the benefits of hiring a coach?

The most common benefits my clients report are focus, support, accountability, resources, listening, and a different perspective.

3. What credentials should I look for in a coach?

The most imortant credential is a rapport with the coach. Look for a coach that is trained by an ICF accredited school, has ICF certification, and has client testimonials you can relate to. I graduated from ICA. I hold an ACC credential with ICF.

4. What the difference between coaching, therapy, training, and counsulting?

Coaching = subject matter expertise not necessary, works toward results in the future
Therapy = possible need for medication, usually looks to resolve issues from the past                                           Training = subject matter expertise necessary, teaches skills, processes, or both
Consulting = subject matter expertise necessary, paying for advice, experience and best practices
