How is coaching different from therapy?
While the coaching Ivori Nicole provides can be therapeutic, it is not therapy. Coaching is distinct from traditional therapy as it is not designed to address psychological issues. While emotional issues may arise, her primary focus is to help you identify your goals, achieve them, and develop constructive habits and skills. There is little emphasis placed on the past with coaching, but rather present and intentional focus on creating what you want now and in the future.
I’ve never had a coach before. What happens during a coaching session?
Your one-on-one coaching will begin by gaining a clear understanding of who you are through an evidence-based assessment and self-reflection. Based on those results, we will move into developing a tailoring plan for you. Tailoring plans vary based on your individual needs. We will discuss what you are committed to accomplishing through our work together and we will begin to purposefully design a plan to achieve your goals. Periodically, I will give you assignments to help direct your progress. We will work together to acknowledge obstacles, explore alternate perspectives, and celebrate successes. At the end of each session, we will revisit your goals and evaluate the next steps needed to achieve these results.
