From the Founder of the Coaches Training Institute. .
The following quotes from "Co-Active
Coaching," a book written by the founders of The Coaches Training Institute,
eloquently describe what coaching is and how is provides a powerful change
process for people.
- "Imagine a relationship where the total
focus is on you, on what you want in your life, and on what will help you
achieve it. The coaching relationship is like that."
- "A profession that works with individual
clients to help them achieve results and sustain life-changing behavior in
their lives and careers."
- "Imagine someone listening, not only to
your words, but also to what’s behind them—who even listens to the spaces
between the words. . .who is intent on receiving everything you communicate.
Someone who listens to the very best in you, even when you can’t hear it in
yourself."
- "(Coaching) addresses the whole person—with
an emphasis on producing action and uncovering learning that can lead to more
fulfillment, more balance, and more effective process for living."
- "Co-active coaching . . .involves the
active and collaborative participation of both the coach and the client."
"Coaching is a powerful relationship for people making changes in their
life."
- "Imagine someone who will hold you
accountable and keep you moving forward toward your dreams and goals."
- "Imagine a relationship with someone who is
totally curious about your dreams and aspirations, what makes you tick, what
you value, what you are most passionate about in your life—a person who will
help you clarify your goals and provide the tools for action and learning that
lead to the results you want."
- "Imagine a relationship in your life with a
person who is sometimes even more committed to what you want in your life than
you are. Image what it would be like if someone knew your values and life
purpose and was holding you true to them."
- "Coaching creates a context where people
regularly work on the most important issues of their lives. It also functions
on a process level to help people understand who and where they are in their
lives."
- "Imagine a relationship with someone who
will absolutely tell you the truth—the truth about where you are strong, for
example, and where you sell yourself short—someone who knows you can handle it
and knows that’s what you want. Someone who sees how big you can be and
constantly holds that big image for you—even when you can’t hold it for
yourself."
- "Think of someone in your family or a close
friend who is going through change. Imagine what a gift it would be for them
to have a coach in their life—a professional trained to make maximum use of
listening, communicating, and intuition skills to help people live full
lives."
- "Imagine someone who listens to you without
judgment and allows you to show emotion—in fact, accepts you without analyzing
you. Imagine you get to talk to this person every week, even when you’ve just
made a mess of things or when you’ve had great success. This is the place you
visit regularly and consistently. . to consolidate, to integrate, and to push
on."
- "Imagine a relationship where you finally
break free of those self-limiting conversations you’ve been having over the
years—where now the voices of defeat and sabotage are simply noticed for what
they are and the powerful part of you is always encouraged."
- " . . .just when people need the courage to
take risks for the sake of change—(coaching provides) proven strategies for
staying on track and overcoming the self-administered sabotage that often
holds them back."
