Ep. 10: Coaching: What is it Really?


Listen Later

So, what is coaching, really? I step behind the mic in the first of a two-part series to address some frequently asked questions about the unique profession of coaching. In a society with so many varying interpretations and examples of coaching, it’s no wonder that it can be confusing for some! I’m here to demystify and clarify, per my own definition as supported by the International Coach Federation, and to illustrate what a client and coach might discuss and work through together. Next week, we’ll dive into the coach/client relationship with an interview with my first “real” client!

Here are the questions I tackle in this episode:

  • What is coaching?
  • How does it differ from consulting or therapy?
  • What does a coach actually do in a session?
  • What are some things you talk about during a coaching call (from a client’s perspective)?
  • Are there any trends that you see that unite your clients?
  • How can a coach help me?
  • How do you find a coach that’s a good fit for you?
  • How does a coach get certified?
  • Why did you become a coach?
