What are the key benefits of
coaching?
One
of the key things that coaching can help with is to
ensure that who you are and why you do what you do
is reflected in your values. The Little Oxford
Dictionary defines values as ‘principles or
standards, one’s judgement of what is valuable or
important in life’. We often assume things make us
happy but when they don’t we should find a reason
why.
Going back to the drawing board means you are put
back in touch with your true values, which are the
key to discovering what you really want and more
importantly what you need. Also if your goals are
not in alignment with your values you are less
likely to achieve them and more likely to make
excuses due to lack of motivation.
Research shows
that people, who set goals are wealthier, have
better health and enjoy better relationships.
Therefore, coaching can play a key part in defining
clear goals which you are committed to achieving as
they are in line with your values. As such you will
be on target for achieving success and generally
getting more out of life.
Coaching helps to enhance your life by...
-
increasing self awareness
-
evaluating your needs, values and
strengths
-
taking
time out to see the bigger picture,
explore ways to rebalance your life and
refocus your goals
-
achieving goals as quickly as possible
through maintaining motivation and
commitment to a plan of action

What is the difference between
coaching and counselling?
The
aim of counselling is usually to understand the root
cause of longer term issues and emphasis is on the
‘problem’, e.g. what causes you to avoid
relationships? In contrast, coaching focuses on
goal-based objectives and ‘solutions’, e.g. what do
you want instead? It focuses on how to get
something we want but don’t currently have and how
to deal with problems that are preventing us from
reaching our goals and being happy and successful.
Coaching assumes that clients are psychologically
healthy with no underlying psychological problems to
hold them back from making progress towards their
goals.
