Here are some definitions of coaching: 

“Helping successful leaders achieve positive, lasting change in behavior: for themselves, their people and their teams”- Marshal Goldsmith

“Unlocking a person’s potential to maximize his or her own performance”-Sir John Whitmore

The International Coaching Federation (ICF) defines coaching as partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential, which is particularly important in today’s uncertain and complex environment.

“Coaching is releasing a person’s potential to maximize their own performance. It is helping them to learn rather than teaching them”- Unknown

Coaching is not telling someone what to do; it’s not giving advice or providing solutions. It is not the same as mentoring, training or consulting.

Coaching is also not therapy/healing and  has no focus on the past. Coaching is future focused ,helps you explore your present and facilitate you in achieving your goals.

Coaching is also different from counseling: It is not about stating that you need help in addressing an issue/challenge; it is about asking :”Do you need help with setting & attaining your goals”?

Coaching is about asking questions in order to help you (the client) to find your own answers

I am open to clients from different walks of life – You may be a high performing executive who is a part of a growing start-up/large-conglomerate, a leader who is looking at driving the engagement of his/her team, a self-starter who is looking for meaning and purpose, an entrepreneur (or perhaps aspiring to become one), someone who is just embarking on a career path, a person who is not part of the corporate but with unique attributes and passion… the list is endless. I have been fortunate to work with clients who have offered diversity and uniqueness in the meaning that they bring to the process of coaching!

Coaching is open to one and all cutting across boundaries of profession, passion topics, experiences etc; But you are welcome to do a quick check on these before signing up!
