Discovering True Potential: Our Journey and Approach
Our Vision
Coach to Consciousness was established with the ultimate goal of partnering with individuals to navigate through life’s challenges and help them discover their true, authentic selves. The motivation behind becoming a life and career coach was the desire to work with individuals on a deeper level to recreate not only their external but internal reality.
We live in a world where people think that everyone else has the answers to their problems and that the solutions can only be found external to them. We know ourselves better than anyone else, and because of this, we’re the only ones who know the real solutions to our problems; we just need to partner with someone who creates a safe environment, who we can trust to be vulnerable with, and is dancing with us in the moments of self-discovery. It is such a beautiful thing to witness clients have those “ah-ha” moments where they eliminate the self-sabotaging mindset and realize that everything can change if they live more intentionally. My mission is to help others connect to a deeper part of themselves and find their true purpose, and in so doing, live out my own passion of making an invaluable difference in the lives of others.
How Coaching Differs from Other Support Professions
Coaching vs Therapy
To put it simply, therapy deals with mental health, and coaching deals with mental growth. Therapy (counseling or psychotherapy) focuses on the past traumas and experiences of a client and is administered by a health professional. A therapist helps their clients understand how their past affects their present and how they can move forward. Coaching, on the other hand, is future-focused and utilizes an individual’s current reality as a starting point to move them forward, enabling them to take action to achieve their goals and take control of their lives.
“The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.”
Coaching vs Mentoring
Mentors are generally experts in their field, with years of knowledge and experience, who give advice to and guide their mentees. Mentoring is a learnership relationship where an individual acquires skills and knowledge from an experienced individual or subject matter expert (SME) in order to develop and grow. Coaching differs in the sense that a coach does not give advice to or guide their clients, but instead believes that their clients are the experts of their own lives. Through a series of open-ended and closed-ended questioning, a coach partners with their clients in a way that allows them to grow and achieve their goals.
