What Is a Coach?

A Coach is a Listener: He actively engages with the client to understand their current situation and aspirations.

A Coach is a Supporter: He empowers the client to evolve into the person they aspire to be.

A Coach is a Guide: He provides observations, poses thoughtful questions, and, when appropriate, offers insights to steer the client in the desired direction.

A Coach Builds Awareness: Through various tools, he aids the client in developing self-awareness and becoming self-directed.

A Coach is a Resource: He serves as an additional set of eyes, ears, and experiences to help the client explore new possibilities.

A Coach Focuses on Forward Motion: His role is to assist the client in progressing toward goals, ideas, roles, prospects, dreams, visions, or purposes.

What a Coach is Not:

A Mentor: He does not dispense advice; instead, he supports you in uncovering your own truths and paths. If you seek advice-focused guidance, the Success Express consulting services may better suit your needs.

A Counselor: He is not a trained mental health professional. Often, clients find that their barriers stem from past trauma. Issues such as abuse, addiction, or mental health challenges should be addressed by qualified professionals. If such matters surface in a coaching session, the coach is responsible for encouraging the client to seek appropriate support.

A Teacher or Trainer: While many within the Success Express Network of coaches are skilled trainers, the coaching relationship transcends mere skill acquisition. However, if a client lacks a specific skill that hinders their growth, the coaching relationship can be temporarily paused to allow the client to learn and develop the necessary competencies.
