WHAT
CAN LIFE, RELATIONSHIP OR VOCATIONAL COACHING DO FOR ME?
As David Steele, founder of the Relationship Coaching Institute, says "It doesn't matter where you've been. What matters where you are going, and how you get there. That's coaching in a nut shell. Coaching is essentially about functioning." Coaching is not about healing or insight or understanding, although that may take place along the way. (David Steele, 2005)
1. Attitude precedes
outcome. It is about what you believe
you can achieve. Behaviour and outcome
follow attitude. If you think you are
powerless, you are far less likely to try.
2. Skills are
necessary to achieve success. Skills are learnable and teachable. Your coach can facilitate client's skills
acquisition by pointing you in the direction of resources.
3. Choices: clients often have more choices available to
them than they may realize, and choices have outcomes. However, clients must also take
responsibility for their choices.
