Answering What Matters

Our team of experienced Coaches, Consultants, and Trainers are excited to work with you!

Is Coaching Counseling?

Professional coaching is not counseling, consulting, mentoring, or discipleship. Coaching is a trusting partnership between a coach and client where goal-setting and a way forward is created. Coaching focuses on the future; counseling focuses on the rear-view mirror. The outcome of coaching is goal attainment. The outcome of counseling is healing.

Will my coach tell me what to do?

The role of a coach is to facilitate and guide the coaching conversation. This helps advance the client’s self-awareness and insight. The client is the hero of their story. They create a way forward that is specific to their needs and what’s meaningful during this season of their leadership. Click here to learn about our coaching services.

Group coaching is comprised of leaders from different industries, companies, or divisions who assemble to discuss relevant leadership topics to advance their individual strength and performance as a leader.
