How can coaching help you?
Making sense of our thoughts, feelings and behaviours isn’t as easy as we think. Sometimes we need space and support to work out what really is important, where to direct our attention and how to plan and implement the changes necessary to achieve our goals. The coaching process provides that.
Coaching is based on positive psychology which is a branch of psychology that focuses on optimising a person’s potential and well-being. Rather than concentrating on problems, coaching works with your strengths and resources to reach and achieve the outcomes you want.
There is plenty of evidence showing how coaching improves individuals’ resilience and self-efficacy, as well as levels of engagement, satisfaction and overall performance. With the increasing pressures in the nonprofit sector, coaching is a great way to help you, and your team gain clarity and flourish.
Let’s get technical
The coaching process isn’t linear…
Awareness acts as a catalyst for the whole process, leading to insights (aha! moments), which give rise to options. From these options you choose what to experiment with, to action. You receive feedback from these actions with regards to their impact, which leads to more awareness, different choices etc. and the whole process evolves and responds.
Coaching isn’t:
- About giving you advice nor telling you what to do. I know sometimes people want this, if this is you I would suggest looking for a different professional who can give you that.
- Therapy, consultancy, or mentoring.
- Focused on the past and what happened there.
