The Coaching Relationship

The relationship created between the coach and the client is unique and will be fed by both personalities, experiences, your openness to coaching etc – therefore no two client-coach relationship are the same. The relationship is what holds the power and connection between the two and grants the client ownership, accountability and power to move towards their goals.

Also know that complete confidentiality applies in all coaching relationships.

Here is what Coaching will require from you:

Be committed to living an extraordinary life
Be responsible for the results of your coaching process
Be committed to the coaching sessions and taking action to integrate the Coaching Principles with your own thinking, speaking and actions
Tell the truth; be honest with yourself and me even if it is uncomfortable
Be respectful of the time commitment we make together
Be ready to be held as resourceful, creative and whole and therefore also accountable

You may expect me, as your Coach, to:

Hold and support your vision and goals and to provide structure that helps you in making conscious choices and movement
Challange you to step beyond your present limitations as you bridge the gap between where you are now and where you want to be
Be an objective and active listener
Tell the truth - give you straight feedback. I will not be confrontational; instead I will invite you to look at yourself, your relationships and your choices etc. differently

The coach does not deliver solutions or give advice. The coach's role is to create space and through thought-provoking, curious and challenging questions and discovery look at things form different perspectives. This way the client is empowered, given choice and able to be in control to create the desired outcomes by using the potential that the coach knows they possess.

The coaching alliance between us will be as strong as the power your grant the relationship. It is built on mutual trust, respect, honesty, integrity, deep care and commitment.
