Coaching

How do I know coaching is right for me?

People come to coaching because they see a gap between where they are now, and where they want to be in the future. Clients who respond well to coaching are learners with a commitment to growth and self-improvement.
 

Do I need to do the PQ Program in order to be coached?

The PQ Program is not a requirement, but a huge benefit. Many clients who get coached first, prefer to follow up with the PQ Program. And, it's not unusual for PQ Program participants to elect coaching to enhance their growth after the program.

What is coaching for a special project?

Coaching for a special project entails coaching two or more individuals who are working at a common goal. The goal could be a startup, event, or product. Sometimes, it's about coaching a team to be resilient around a difficult change or pivot in the company or product. Oftentimes, the special project will require coaching, Design Thinking and business strategies.

Coaching Definition

According to the International Coaching Federation (ICF), "Coaching is future focused. The primary focus is on creating actionable strategies for achieving specific goals in one’s work or personal life. The emphases in a coaching relationship are on action, accountability, and follow through.

Design Thinking Definition

“If I had an hour to solve a problem, I’d spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem, and 5 minutes thinking about solutions.” Albert Einstein
Whether in coaching, or building something big, people reach for problem-solving without understanding the whole landscape first. Design Thinking is a methodology for efficient innovation that always begins with understanding "what is": what do we need and want; what worked, what didn't work, what needs to change, what can we do without, what are we excited about? By discovering what's happening now, we can lay a powerful foundation for future innovating.
