Coaching is a conversation that takes place between a Coach and a Client that is focused on understanding how the client wants to grow, what actions they are ready to take, and helping them cultivate a sense of self-efficacy. This is achieved primarily through the coach asking clarifying questions which helps the client gain new perspective, insight, clarity and understanding.
Self-Efficacy is a person's belief in their own ability to make constructive change in their lives.
Coaches help Clients to:
Identify their values and desired outcomes,
Understand their circumstances more clearly,
Become more effective at achieving their goals.
Counseling and Therapy
Counseling and Therapy are healing oriented and focus on the client's past to understand and address how it is impacting the present.
Coaching is growth oriented and focuses on how the client wants to change as they move into the future.
Coaches help clients to get clear about what they want and how they want to pursue their goals.
Consulting
Consultants are hired for their expertise, prescribe a solution, and advise on execution.
Coaching does not prescribe a solution or give advice.
Coaches help clients to develop their own understanding, their own solutions, and ability to achieve their own goals.
Mentoring
Mentoring focuses on mastering a single domain of expertise and passing on skill or understanding from the mentor to the mentee.
Coaching focuses on the client and how they are relating to themselves as they learn and grow across multiple facets of their life.
Coaches help clients to identify their growth fronts and cultivate the self-efficacy to become an expert in any domain.
