What is Coaching?
The International Coaching Federation (ICF) defines coaching as “partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.”
Coaching is a comprehensive process that may involve all areas of your life, including work, finances, health, relationships, education, and recreation. However, all topics, decisions, and actions are the sole responsibility of the client.
Coaching does not involve the diagnosis or treatment of mental disorders as defined by the American Psychiatric Association. It is not a substitute for counseling, psychotherapy, psychoanalysis, mental health care, or substance abuse treatment. It is also not to be used as a substitute for professional advice by legal, medical, financial, business, spiritual or other qualified professionals.
Is Coaching Right for Me?
To get the most out of a coaching relationship, you need be ready, willing and able to make changes. Finding and communicating your truth is an essential element in the coaching relationship. Clarity is paramount. Your truth is safe. No vision is too big. Your coach is there for you.
You are encouraged to make a serious commitment to coaching, and provide yourself with adequate time to progress. Coaching is an investment in yourself. The benefits multiply themselves for a lifetime.
Who would be coaching me or my team?
Our founder, Brice Long, is a WeAlign Certified Coach, a Strengths Champion Certified Coach, and is currently working towards his ACC certification through the ICF, as well as his Certified Professional Leadership Coach (CPLC) certification through the Professional Christian Coaching Institute (PCCI). While he has spent many years informally coaching friends, colleagues, and clients over the years; he is dedicated to mastering his craft to the highest levels to best serve our clients.
ICF coaches have met stringent education and experience requirements, and have demonstrated a thorough understanding and practice of the coaching competencies that set the standard in the industry. Achieving credentials/accreditation signifies a coach’s commitment to integrity, an understanding and practice of coaching skills and a dedication to clients.
