What is Coaching?
Coaching is a goal-oriented partnership where a coach helps you achieve specific outcomes, develop skills, and maximize your potential. Unlike therapy which focuses on mental health treatment, coaching focuses on forward movement, goal achievement, and performance improvement.
Coaches use structured approaches, accountability, and action-oriented strategies to help you reach your goals.
