Expertise
We are experts in the coaching process and also have specific and significant knowledge regarding higher education. We may not have specific knowledge of certain other given subject areas or industries. Where we have expertise in other areas, we may use it to facilitate the coaching process. We do not use this particular expertise to direct, or design solutions for the client.
Relationship is the foundation of coaching. Your coach and you intentionally develop a relationship which is characterized by a growing and mutual appreciation and respect for each other as individuals. This relationship is not an adjunct to or byproduct of the coaching. Nor is it based on the client’s position or performance.
In coaching, information drawn from our clients is used by the coach to promote your awareness and choice of action. This information is not used to evaluate performance or produce reports for anyone but the person being coached.
Coaching has the freedom and flexibility to address a wide variety of personal and professional topics. In any given coaching relationship, coach and client alone determine the scope of their work. Coaching is not necessarily restricted to a narrowly defined issue nor is its scope determined in any other way.
In coaching, any contribution the coach makes to producing the client’s desired outcome is through on-going interaction with the client. Our role does not include producing a contracted product or result outside of the coaching sessions.
Coaching is designed to provide clients with a greater capacity to produce results and a greater confidence in their ability to do so. It is intended that clients do not leave coaching with a perception that they need to rely on a coach in order to produce similar results in the future.
