partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional

potential.

INTERNATIONAL COACH ACADEMY

Coaching involves dialogue between a coach and a client with the aim of helping the client to obtain a fulfilling life. This is achieved by

helping the client establish what is important to them and by clarifying values. With the client’s input the coach co-creates value based goals

and a plan to achieve them. Through collaboration, the coach supports the client to achieve these goals.

Refers to the fundamental nature of a coaching relationship in which the coach and client are active collaborators. This

relationship is an alliance between two equals for the purpose of meeting the client’s needs.

Four cornerstones:

The client is naturally creative, resourceful and whole The agenda comes from the client The coach dances in the moment Co-active coaching addresses the client’s whole life

“I’m not being selfish – but I really want my life to matter…”

“I don’t want to grow old and boring – I want to begin experiencing the best side of life…”

“Right now a lot of things confuse me – I would really like more clarity and direction…”

“I don’t like my current role in work – I want to challenge myself and expand my vision…”
