FAQs


What exactly is Life Coaching?
 

Life Coaching is:
About assisting you to realize your full potential.
Constantly moving you from awareness to responsibility and to action.
A solution-focused, results orientated process in which the coach facilitates the enhancement of performance, self-directed learning and personal growth of other individuals.

WORKING ON ONE LIFE-CHANGING GOAL AT A TIME


Life Coaching is not:
Therapy, which goes into depth about various issues dealing with the past.  

Consulting, this results in giving the client the answers.
Training, where the agenda is fixed by the trainer
 

Where does the coaching take place?                                                                                           
Clients come in person to my office in Givat Zeev or Jerusalem.  National and International coaching sessions are available by Skype.

I am not sure that Coaching is what I need?                                                                               
As a professional & Certified Coach my first commitment is to you. Ask me as many questions as you want! Then you can decide if this coaching is the best path for you right now. I will focus on YOUR agenda and will be asking questions that uncover some blind spots, making requests and suggestions and guiding you in reaching your stated outcomes. The purpose of the coaching is to clarify your vision and create action plans that will align with your intentions and keep you on track or help you change course purposefully as you move forward.

What does a Skype session look like?                                                                                                                                                       

The client needs to have reliable internet, Skype on their computer with (or without) video in a quiet uninterrupted space – no pets or family interruptions – for the session time.  The time is totally focused on the session – no other phone calls, the Skype session is one hour.

Am I too old to use Coaching?                                                                                                                                                           

No. Noooooooooo. No. Nope.      

Is Coaching the same as Therapy or Counseling?                                                                                                      

Coaching and therapy / counseling are not the same.  Counseling focuses on diagnosis and healing an old wound. Coaching focuses on where you are now, and where you want to be. Sure, we use counseling techniques but that’s not our overall focus. We know nothing is wrong with you–you just want to get to a place where you feel excited about life. That’s what we do.

How will Coaching really give me back the reins to be in control of my life?                                                                                        

Many people, overwhelmed by obligations (“musts” and “shoulds”), blame others or their circumstances in order to be able to cope with their less-than-ideal situation. This is a trap, which only reinforces the situation and increases the feeling of being out of control. Coaching empowers you to Reclaim your Wholeness and sense of who you will continue to be. The work that you do with your coach will pay off in the long run because you will have tools & strategies to carry over into other aspects of your life.
