Life Coaching
Life coaching is a practice that helps people identify and achieve personal goals. It is also a practice that motivates breakthrough and learning of new dynamic life skills and behavior that ensure fulfillment and balance. Life coaching can include specific skills coaching derived from sound assessment and uncovering, or be a holistic program including various skills and tools.
Executive Coaching (Includes Leadership & Management coaching)
Today’s executives are as much about identity and motive as they are about action. Not only are executives concerned about the outcome and the results, but they also care about the people they lead and how they lead them. By continuing their own self-development, they also promote the growth of their people, thus empowering them to become more responsible and accountable.
Executives Choose to Work With a Coach:
• To recognize and overcome internal roadblocks in the way of achieving goals
• A definite and articulated need and willingness to grow.
• To become more attuned to their behaviours and improve skills.
• To achieve optimal success and personal mastery
• Ensure insight into mistakes and use their personal experiences and mistakes to learn.
• Identify and deploy existing strengths to obtain strategic objectives.
• Understanding the way to maintain a healthy work-life balance.
• To transfer coaching skills and tools with colleagues and others within the organization.
• To develop a career and life game plan.
In a classic study by the Centre for Creative Leadership, four enduring themes emerged as to why executives derail. These themes are present over time and across countries:
Relationship Coaching
Relationship coaching is a life coaching specialization that helps people find greater fulfillment in their personal relationships. A relationship coach can help you set relationship goals, understand your current partnership, thrive inside your marriage, grieve a lost loved-one, or take your long-term romance to the next level.
It is not necessary to work with both partners in a relationship. Coaching helps clients let go of their own painful thoughts, and create their own relationship vision. This means clients are able to enjoy a satisfying relationship even without their partner’s participation in the coaching process.
Relationship coaches also work with people who are not yet in a relationship. They will work with singles who have a history of troubled relationships, who have difficulty knowing what they want in a relationship, or just want to stay on track with their plan to find a deeper connection with someone.
Career Coaching
Career coaching focuses on work and career or issues around careers. It is similar in nature to career counselling and traditional counselling. Career coaching is not to be confused with life coaching, which concentrates on personal development. Another common term for a career coach is career guide, although career guides typically use techniques drawn not only from coaching, but also mentoring, advising and consulting.
Performance Coaching
Increases the impact and effectiveness of a person’s career, accelerates an individuals or company’s growth and implements programs that result in exceptional ROI. Performance coaching is a series of conversations that are designed and conducted to enhance someone's well-being or performance.
Performance coaching can be described as a series of guided conversations that enable the coachee to discover and implement personal solutions to challenging issues or areas of performance. These solutions, because they are intrinsic to the coachee, are more likely to succeed and endure than solutions imposed externally.
Public figure & Celebrity Coaching
The Public figure and/or Celebrity might have and be everything they ever dreamed of - Fame, public status, stardom, celebrity status. The glamorous lifestyle which also comes with the glorious & sad trappings. Yet, as with any situation, there is balance, and there is also the side where they experience obstacles and challenges – those aspects and experiences the public do not see.Those moments of self-doubt and fear, the anxieties, concerns and worries about the moment disappearing or being taken away as well as the growing pressure to meet expectations.
Christian Coaching
The field that includes the integration of Christian faith with the practice of coaching. Coaching is in wide use in South Africa and other countries because of the successes it facilitates. In recent years, churches are beginning to experience the value of coaching for the same reason.
Coaches help people develop their God-given potential so that they grow individually and make a valuable contribution to the advancement of the Kingdom of God. Excellent coaches endeavour to behave in a way that is consistent, inspiring and flexible by modelling skills and values and discipline others.
Family Coaching/Parent Coaching
Family coaching focusses on the relationship within the family to attain the best possible relationships which facilitate growth, loving relationships and support within family groups
