What is Coaching?

Coaching is a focused partnership between two people that helps the client define and achieve the results they desire in any area of their life. In recent years, coaching has gone from being solely sports-focused to being a staple in many corporations, as well as in the lives of individuals who long to have their own goals accomplished in a new and effective way.

At Caroline Miller Coaching LLC, I help each client move past his or her mental or physical limitations to develop:

1. A blueprint for change
 
2. A clearly-defined set of steps to achieve those changes

3. Accountability to ensure that the steps are carried out

4. New skills and awarenesses so that the client can learn how to successfully create and accomplish any goal once our coaching partnership has concluded

Coaching is a distinct profession that differs from consulting and psychotherapy in significant ways, but that can be used as a complementary approach in personal and professional situations. Coaching focused on an active, goal-directed approach to creating a defined future, while other disciplines, such as psychotherapy, rely more on intrapsychic approaches to heal previous wounds.

Coaches who are credentialed through the International Coach Federation abide by a Code of Conduct that clearly spells out our responsibilities and ethics. To learn more about the ICF and its high standards, please click here.

One of the best reasons to hire a coach is to use the advice, skills and knowledge of someone who has already achieved what you wish to achieve. A coach will not only hold you accountable for accomplishing what you set out to do, but he or she will support you and remain focused on your progress while you are in the relationship. When the "fit" between a coach and a client is good, there is a momentum created that can take the client as far and as fast as he or she wants to go.

Here are some of the benefits you can expect from Coaching:

• Manage your life better

• Unclutter a busy schedule

• Create fitness solutions

• Assist in the challenges of caring for aging parents and young children

• Change your career

• Design your dream lifestyle

• And much, much more
