PK Norman Coaching

Clients often report benefits such as increased self-awareness, improved goal setting and attainment, enhanced decision-making skills, greater personal effectiveness, and a better work-life balance. The specific benefits will vary depending on the individual’s goals and engagement.

These interactions seem similar because listening is a big component in each. But there are important differences.

Coaching focuses on the present and future, supporting clients in achieving their self-identified goals. You are the expert on yourself and can find the most appropriate solutions; the coach is a facilitator.

Therapy often addresses past issues and emotional healing. The therapist is the expert.

Consulting also identifies goals and action steps, but an expert provides the advice and solutions.

Mentoring usually involves guidance from someone with experience in a particular field.

A standard coaching session starts follows a 5-step framework:

1. Set your goal for the session
2. Imagine what it will be like when you achieve it
3. Make realistic and measurable plans to get there 
4. Anticipate roadblocks
5. Recap: Go back over future vision, the plan, and discuss terms for personal accountability 

Identifying your true goal is more important than making a decision before we meet. In fact, often the first goal is to identify what those goals will be to facilitate progress.
