“just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a butterfly”

We should not judge of a man's merit by his great abilities,
but by the use he makes of them.

What is Coaching?

The coaching process focuses on you and your agenda, supporting your efforts as well as managing your obstacles or challenges. A successful coaching relationship is always a partnership. To succeed, that partnership must be based on a solid foundation of trust. Working as equal partners, I will support you in the process of developing your personal foundation as a means to achieve your goals. Together, we build a trusting, supportive, objective and non-judgmental relationship that allows you to reach your full potential.

Professional coaches provide an ongoing partnership designed to help clients produce fulfilling results in their personal and professional lives. Coaches help people improve their performances and enhance the quality of their lives. Coaching is partnering with clients in a thought provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.

Coaches are trained to listen, to observe and to customize their approach to individual client needs. They seek to elicit solutions and strategies from the client; they believe the client is naturally creative and resourceful. The coach's role is to provide support to enhance the skills, resources, and creativity that the client already owns.

"Coaching isn't therapy, and it's not consulting," says David Matthew Prior, a coach based in Saddle River, NJ who's on the global board of International Coach Federation. "The basic philosophy is that the client knows the answers, and the coach is there to facilitate and provide structure, support and accountability. And there is no coaching occurring if the client is not taking action."

David Buck of Lake Hopatcong, NJ is a coach who also runs CoachVille, an ICF Accredited Coach Training Organization. "Some coaches focus on lifestyle development, others on business and career coaching, but the distinction isn't clear-cut: A good coach addresses the total person.  A coach is someone who will help you win the game of life on your own terms," Buck said. "And you can't coach a game you don't know and haven't played. Coaching is the same, whether it's sports, business, romance or health --you're helping someone develop skills and play to their strengths."


  • As described by the International Coach Federation  - Professional Coaching is an ongoing professional relationship that helps people produce extraordinary results in their lives, careers, businesses or organizations. Through the process of coaching, clients deepen their learning, improve their performance, and enhance their quality of life.  

  • From the Wikipedia definition: "A Personal Coach may use inquiry, reflection, requests and discussion to help clients identify personal and/or business and/or relationship goals, develop strategies, relationships and action plans intended to achieve those goals. A coach provides a place for clients to be held accountable to themselves by monitoring the clients' progress towards implementation of their action plans. Together they evolve and modify the plan to best suit the client's needs and environmental relationships."

I invite you to invest a half hour to discuss the benefits of forming a coaching alliance together. I will clarify my role as Coach and how I can support you in optimizing your potential, in both your personal and professional life.

“Mere change is not growth. Growth is the synthesis
of change and continuity, and where there is no
continuity there is no growth."
