What is coaching? “Coaching is an intensive process of interaction over a period of time that encourages a shift in who you are (your role), what you do (your actions and way of operating) and how you do it (your skill and style). This respectful, inquiring form of conversation and listening expands your ability to make significant changes, move forward in new areas and accomplish your vision”. (Schelli Whitehouse) Coaching is also about finding clarity and defining steps to move forward in your desired direction. It’s also about someone to hold you accountable and to support you along the way while you accomplish those goals. It’s a different approach than therapy. Rather than looking backward and learning how you got to this place, coaching is more structured and forward looking. Coaching works best when a person: • Is willing to learn, make changes and take ownership of their situation • Can identify a gap between where they are now and where they want to be • Has the patience and persistence to do what it takes to make progress Services include in-person, phone or on-line coaching. In person sessions can include equine–assisted or nature based coaching. Sessions are typically one hour and rates range from $95-110. Discounts are available on coaching packages as more progress can be accomplished by committing to more than one session. Commitment to change is key and transformation is not optional.
