Ignite Change with the Awareness, Action, Learning Process
If you’re new to coaching you may be wondering what it’s all about. Maybe it sounds interesting and helpful, but a bit vague. If you're thinking about engaging a coach, here are some helpful things to consider.
For coaching to be productive, it’s important to be open to learning more about yourself and having reflective conversations. We aim to set aside self-judgment and bring curiosity to your experience. Through our conversations, we’re looking for your insights and uncovering your expertise about yourself. It may sound strange, but your answers are much more powerful and relevant to your life than my suggestions are (neuroscience backs this up). Working together, we can uncover the answers and actions that will help you move forward.
One succinct explanation of coaching comes from Cameron Gott (my teacher and mentor) who describes it as “an experiential learning model.” At its heart, it’s a partnership between coach and client designed to bring about new awareness and perspective shifts for the client using an Awareness > Action > Learning process.
My role as a Certified Coach is to be your reflective thinking partner, to help you approach challenges with curiosity and accountability. When we repeatedly engage in the Awareness > Action > Learning process, what follows are “aha” moments that inspire you on the path to change. We all get stuck at times and working with a coach is a great way to move forward.
