Clients can expect a highly collaborative coaching experience designed to generate deep learning, increase self-awareness, and identify and achieve meaningful goals. Coaching sessions focus on empowering clients to unlock their unlimited and often untapped personal and professional potential.

I work closely with leaders to help them lead with authenticity, utilizing their own expertise for effective problem-solving. Each session is tailored to help clients grow both personally and professionally, ensuring they achieve their desired outcomes in a holistic and sustainable way.

Life coaching and therapy serve different purposes and approaches. Here’s a breakdown of how they differ:

1. Focus and Goals:

- Life Coaching: Generally focuses on personal development, goal setting, and future-oriented plans. Coaches help clients identify and achieve specific goals, improve performance, and make positive changes in their lives.

- Therapy: Often addresses mental health issues, emotional difficulties, and past experiences. Therapists work with clients to understand and manage psychological issues, improve mental well-being, and resolve past traumas.

2. Approach:

-Life Coaching: Typically involves action-oriented strategies, motivational techniques, and practical advice. Coaches might use tools and exercises to help clients develop skills and stay accountable.

- Therapy: Usually involves exploring underlying issues, patterns, and emotions. Therapists may use various therapeutic approaches (like cognitive-behavioral therapy, psychodynamic therapy, etc.) to help clients understand and work through their issues.

3. Qualifications:

-Life Coaching: Coaches may come from various backgrounds and may not always have formal psychological training. They usually undergo specific coaching certification programs.

- Therapy: Therapists are often licensed professionals (such as psychologists, licensed clinical social workers, or licensed marriage and family therapists) with advanced degrees and specialized training in mental health.

4. Duration and Structure:

-Life Coaching: Sessions are often shorter-term and more structured around achieving specific goals. Coaching can be ongoing but is typically designed to be a time-limited process.

- Therapy: Can be short-term or long-term, depending on the individual’s needs. Therapy sessions are often more flexible and focus on a deeper exploration of issues over time.

Both life coaching and therapy can be valuable, depending on what you’re looking to achieve and address in your personal growth or mental health journey.

1. Be Committed: Commit to the coaching process and be willing to put in the effort required to achieve your goals.

2. Trust the Process: Trust in your coach’s expertise and the coaching process, even if results are not immediate.

3. Stay Positive: Maintain a positive attitude and be patient with yourself as you work towards your goals.

By approaching life coaching sessions with preparation, openness, and a commitment to action, you can maximize the benefits and make significant progress towards your personal and professional aspirations.

The length of a typical coaching engagement can vary widely depending on the client's goals and needs. Here are some common timeframes:

1. Short-Term Coaching: Some engagements might last just a few sessions, often ranging from 4 to 8 sessions. This is common for specific, short-term goals or for individuals who want to address a particular issue or challenge.

2. Medium-Term Coaching: Many coaching engagements are designed to last several months, typically 3 to 6 months. This allows for more in-depth work on personal or professional goals and often includes regular, ongoing sessions.

3. Long-Term Coaching: For more comprehensive development or continuous improvement, coaching can last 6 months to a year or even longer. This might be suitable for ongoing personal growth, leadership development, or significant career changes.

The frequency of sessions can also vary, with some coaches meeting clients weekly, biweekly, or monthly, depending on the agreement and the client’s needs.
