Cathy Alford, MA, PCC LifeWorks Coaching

 Coaching is a transformational conversation that helps people grow faster, understand themselves more deeply and live out God’s purpose with great effectiveness and fulfillment.

 Coaches are change experts who help you develop a unique solution that works for your individual situation.

 Coaching is about how we communicate as much about what is done.  Coaching delivers results because of the supportive relationship between the coach and the coachee, and the means and style of communication used.  The coachee acquires the facts, not from the coach but from within him or herself, stimulated by the coach.  How the coachee improves skills is the question.
