Coaches and clients explain why they're drawn to coaching. One coach formalized a lifelong unofficial role. Another credits coaching with unlocking her determination and courage. A third learned the neuroscience behind behavior change and now helps others transform.
Everything about coaching speaks to me. I feel like my entire career I have been unofficially coaching, and at this point I'm thrilled to be officially coaching.
Coaching is about helping people experience transformation. People discover an internal resourcefulness, determination, even courage.
My life is unrecognizable from what it was before coaching. After Receiving coaching, it changed my life so much I wanted to be a coach.
Wow, there's people that actually communicate without judging each other. There's people that actually care and are trained in different skills to listen, to be compassionate, to seek to understand before being understood.
That's what coaching is all about, is it's giving everybody that extra power that they need to be their best selves.
When you can understand the why, you can really leverage that that understanding of neuroscience, it's a powerful thing.
They walk away doing something that they had never done before or didn't think was possible, and they're excited and they're fulfilled and they're happy. That is no greater reward for me.
