     Benefits of Providing and Receiving Coaching
By Lyn Kelley, Ph.D., MFT, CPC
        Many of my students have let me know I've done a great job of giving the benefits of becoming a Certified Coach.  But many asked me to include the benefits of RECEIVING coaching -- because they want to include this in their advertising an promotions!  We need to let our clients know what coaching is, and why/how it would benefit them.  So this month I'll give you my script!  Feel free to use this info in your own promotions.

What is Personal/Life/Business Coaching?
       Coaching has become increasingly popular in the last decade. One reason is that people are living longer, and are seeking to find more meaning in their lives that will propel them through the rest of their lives. Another reason is that people want the luxury of an assistant to help them turn their dreams into realities. Another reason is that our world is becoming more competitive, and in order to succeed, many people need the extra support that a coach can offer. Having a partnership with a Professional Coach who is supportive, validating, encouraging, and empathic assists you in creating the confidence you need to make positive life changes and navigate any roadblocks that may come your way.
       There is a large segment of the population who might never hire the services of a therapist, but who would access the services of a personal or career coach, because of the absence of “negative stigma.” In fact, there is a positive stigma associated with coaching due to the fact that it has been widely accepted in the athletic and business worlds. Coaching is now the foremost method of training in the corporate arena.
       The following are definitions of coaching by various professional associations:
• GROW Training Institute (GTI): Assisting clients in goal achievement.
• International Association of Coaches (IAC): Empowering clients in ways which create structures for sustainable personal growth and professional improvements.
• International Coach Federation (ICF): An ongoing professional relationship that helps people produce extraordinary results in their lives, careers, businesses or organizations. Throughout the process of coaching, clients deepen their learning, improve their performance, and enhance their quality of life.

Benefits of Receiving Life/Relationship Coaching
1. Goal Clarification: Helps you define and clarify your personal and professional goals.
2. Increased Self-Awareness: Enhances understanding of your strengths, weaknesses, and values.
3. Improved Confidence: Builds self-esteem and empowers you to take action.
4. Better Decision-Making: Guides you in making informed and confident choices.
5. Enhanced Motivation: Keeps you focused and motivated to achieve your goals.
6. Overcoming Obstacles: Provides strategies to overcome challenges and setbacks.
7. Work-Life Balance: Supports you in creating a balanced and fulfilling life.
8. Accountability: Keeps you accountable for your progress and commitments.
9. Personal Growth: Facilitates continuous self-improvement and development.
10. Stress Reduction: Teaches coping skills to manage stress and anxiety effectively.

2. Discovering Strengths and Skills: Highlights your key competencies and areas for development.
3. Navigating Career Transitions: Supports you through job changes, promotions, or career shifts.

          Acknowledge everything you’ve already made it through.

         You’ve survived things you once thought would break you.

         Your strength is real.

         Your strength didn’t come from avoiding the struggle, but from pushing through it.

         You’re still growing, but the current version of you is already incredibly powerful.

         You have the strength to trust again, to hope again, and to open your heart to love once again.

LPC's Can Soon Provide Care in Any State in the US
What is the Counseling Compact?

        The Counseling Compact is an interstate compact, or a contract among states, allowing professional counselors licensed and residing in a compact member state to practice in other compact member states without need for multiple licenses.  Arizona and Minnesota are the first two states to complete the technical and regulatory steps necessary for implementation, including secure data sharing and system testing.

Currently, only:

Licensed Professional Counselors (LPCs) licensed by Arizona and who live in Arizona can apply for the privilege to practice in Minnesota.

Licensed Professional Clinical Counselors (LPCCs) licensed by Minnesota and who live in Minnesota can apply for the privilege to practice in Arizona.

Across the country, 37 additional states and the District of Columbia are actively completing the steps needed to begin issuing and receiving privileges under the Counseling Compact.

Specialties:  Coaching for Healthcare Professionals and overwhelmed and stressed out Women

Mission Statement:  "Empowering Healthcare professionals and Women through establishing a personalized Self/Other Care Toolbox."

        "PROVIDING COACHING:

          I found the coaching format as a simple way to help motivated clients hone in on their key challenge, foster a focus of change through positive, action oriented “change strategies” in alignment with their goal(s). I also brought in a shortened version of a Vision Word i.e. what they truly want to be experiencing and embracing, to keep as a simplified focus for change. Overall the equation I shared with clients was a clear way of creating change ie (Intention + Attention + Practiced Action = Change). My blend of personalized tools (change strategies) upon each review session, was to look at what successes occurred and what might have shown up in a saboteur form that created some blocks or barriers to stepping into their goal. From this data I was able to help them bring more clarity to the next set of change strategies in action to bring in between sessions and “gather data” of effectiveness or what might need to be adjusted. Another aspect I fostered was to encourage them to embody the tools so that it was more readily available. For example, one client’s challenge was “juggling too many plates” ie overdoing/giving for family members and putting herself low on priority list to take care of herself. So she was able to bring a simple movement of juggling into embodying what she really wanted ie being more grounded, centered and putting herself in the mix of self care.

          I felt alive and inspired through this simple coaching format and I could see in their eyes/actions they too felt more inspired as changes were happening. 

RECEIVING COACHING:

          I found being on the receiving end of coaching to be extremely helpful as I picked a point of focus on a relationship topic that I have struggled with for years. My coach helped me to get more clarity on what *I* actually needed in a simple question format that I was able to practice. It fostered me checking in with myself first and what I truly needed/wanted before attending to relationship needs/wants. I found my coach listened to what words and images resonated with me, i.e. bringing “curiosity” to notice before engaging in action and then to collect data daily on the impact of actions. Overall my goal was achieved and we set up ways to foster sustainability of change. "

          My other coaching experience related to creating more confidence in the set up of my coaching paperwork, business aspect, and how to be a great coach, which was very helpful. I was able to hear guidance and put it into action effectively. 

COACHING PLANS:

          I am excited to bring all the tools you outlined in your courses with more comfort and ease to individuals, groups, and organizations empowering healthcare professionals and women to establish Self-Other Care Toolboxes which has been a passion of mine for many years. Check out our website. Thanks Lyn!" *********************

        "Over the years, my coaching journey has been a tapestry woven with diverse experiences, each adding a unique thread of insight and fulfillment.  Among the most profound of these experiences has been supporting individuals with anxiety.  These individuals often carry burdens that, while invisible, weigh heavily on their day-to-day lives.  I have created a safe space where they feel understood and supported.  Through tailored techniques, such as mindfulness and cognitive restructuring, I've helped clients navigate their anxiety and empowered them to reclaim control over their lives.
