Ensuring you have trust and confidence in your coach is paramount not only for you but also for your coach. If you aren't comfortable with being open and transparent with your coach, the impact of the coaching will be limited. Any coach should offer a complementary chemistry session to ensure both the coach and client are confident they will work well together. Ask your coach to share testimonials from past clients (keep in mind, they may not be able to share names of past clients unless their clients have given them authorization to do so). Coaches who are are members of the International Coaching Federation (ICF) must follow strict ethical guidelines that both protect and serve coaching clients. Coaches that have an ICF credential are those who have met stringent education and experience requirements, and have demonstrated a thorough understanding of the standard professional coaching competencies. You can verify a coach's credentials and membership status on the ICF website here.
Yes. While a majority of clients are corporate, we keep a limited capacity to partner with individual private-pay clients.
This is a common question of clients and the simple answer is that coaching is forward looking whereas therapy looks at the past. As per the ICF, "Coaching focuses on visioning, success, the present and moving toward the future. Therapy emphasizes psychopathology, emotions and the past to understand the present, and it works more with developing skills for managing emotions or past issues than does coaching."
Some clients work with both a therapist and a coach. Some therapists can incorporate coaching methodologies into their practices. A coach, unless they have professional standing as a therapist, will not incorporate therapy into coaching. Coaches are trained to identify when their clients may be better served by a therapist.
