Coaching to Greatness!

I received my coaching certification from iPec in 2009. Prior to that in 2008 I had received my certification as a career coach to enhance my position for a company I was working for at the time. What I learned through my training was minus the few tweaks here and there to my coaching style and some other important techniques iPec taught me, I felt I had been coaching people for years and didn't know it.

My undergraduate studies was in criminal justice and psychology. I didn't want to be a counselor but did want to understand behavior and why people did the things that they did. There's a vast difference between counseling and coaching. "Psychotherapy is a general term that is used to describe the process of treating psychological disorders and mental distress. Therapy is interpersonal treatment for problems in living. Counseling and therapy help clients get through past issues so that they can be more functional in their lives." That's not what I wanted to do. I wanted to move people forward. If you tell me you want to start a business, I'll help you get there. If you want to lose a few pounds, I will assist you in getting started and motivate you to stay on task. The motto is "We, as coaches, take you from functional to OPTIMAL!"

With your certification from iPec, you can coach anyone on anything. When I graduated, I was OVERLY excited. I had a business card for everything. I wanted to coach everyone. It got confusing as my main business is holistic health. I felt like Eddie Murphy, who had all of those roles in the movie The Klumps. I had to choose a specialty and stick with it. Since my background of 16 years is holistic health, it only made since to me that my coaching focused on that... Holistic Health and Wellness. The topic is broad enough to encompass everything that I do as it relates to holistic health. If you want to eat a little more healthier, as a certified nutrition consultant, I can coach you into better eating habits. If your church was doing a church wide fast, I can coach groups on fasting properly. When you want to start working out and all of those machines seems scary, as a personal trainer, I can write out a daily workout and coach you through the use of the machines.   

"Coaches work with clients to identify what they want personally and professionally and support them in achieving it. Coaches encourage clients to set attainable goals and help them focus on the task to reaching those goals."
