Life Coaching shines a bright light upon you, the client. Much like a light house, coaching is designed to cut through the fog and help you cut a clear path to your desired outcomes. Life Coaching by Dave is rooted in the clear understanding that within you, your truth already exists and awaits uncovering. You are "not broken" but perhaps adrift?
Coaching provides a place to step into the "map room” exploring "what ifs” verbalizing possibilities, taking exploratory steps building upon and learning from micro steps or perhaps deep dives into new possibilities with a safe refuge to anchor and assess. Coaching will challenge you to not only talk about change but to take clear actions steps in your desired direction. Time will pass, a year will go by for certain; however, the question remains will you have seized the opportunity or remained for yet another year in the same safe harbor having never set sail and explored the deeper waters.
Life Coaching differs from consultation or counseling as you are the pilot or captain of the ship. Dave, your coach, is your assistant navigator helping you to chart out the path of your choosing! This is a partnership of exploration, considered action, inquiry and conscious action rather than a tune up or "repair shop for the mind”.
Life coaching is a relationship built upon trust and that fully adheres to confidentiality guidelines designed to protect your conversations, personal information and content. Information that you share is held in confidence and will not be disclosed unless express permission is provided by you or as is legally or court mandated such as in the case of immanent risk of harm is present, indications of child or elder abuse exist or otherwise legally mandated.
Within your life coaching sessions you will be assisted in defining long term, short and within session goals or desired outcomes. Your "call focus form” will help you prepare for your scheduled contact and assist in guiding the session. Coaching sessions traditionally run for 30-40 minutes with a predictable structure helping to "laser focus” upon you and your desired outcomes. Coaching can accomplish a great deal in a short time frame as it is builds upon an active partnership inherently built upon honesty, accountability with feedback loops, candor and use of active and intensive of coaching strategies such as "powerful questions” Visit our DIY Life Coaching page if you would like to explore some more common powerful questions.
Within life coaching it is essential to understand that confidentiality is protected under HIPAA provisions and that inherent within life coaching is active phone, email and electronic payment processes that may pose risks to your confidentiality.
