What is Personal coaching?
Personal coaching offers a personalized one-on-one coaching experience that is goal-oriented and solutions focused. The process begins by establishing concrete and achievable objectives. Powerful open-ended questions are asked to gain clarity on any “fuzzy” issues. Actionable steps are identified and co-created during the coaching conversation.
If there are specific personal goals you want to achieve, or perhaps you are hoping to get “unstuck” and move beyond something that has held you back, personal coaching can assist you.
Coaching has been shown to lead to greater self-awareness, self-efficacy, causal attributions towards internal and controllable factors, and positive behaviour changes (Moen & Federici, 2012; Wasylyshyn, Gronsky & Haas, 2006).
What’s Your Personal Everest?
I often think of personal and professional goals as our “Personal Everest”. Sometimes the climb can be tricky and it helps to have a guide by your side.
If you feel that there are forces that stand in the way preventing you from reaching your personal and professional goals, personal coaching can help you prevail.
what can personal coaching do for me?
Alongside personal benefits such as goal attainment, improved confidence, coaching has demonstrated that it can contribute to significant mindset changes that help people overcome obstacles that hold them back from experiencing an overall sense of joy and well-being.
Coaching conversations may include some exploration of the past when needed, but coaching is primarily focused on moving you forward.
Focusing on the future and helping you to intentionally craft actions that lead to goal attainment is where the purpose and power of coaching intersect.

Leadership Coaching
Personal coaching is very similar to leadership coaching and often overlaps with leadership coaching.
Personal coaching may be the best choice for individuals that want to focus solely on personal goals or issues that affect them outside of the workplace.
Team Coaching
You have most likely come across this famous Aristotle quote: "the whole is greater than the sum of its parts." In 2012 Google launched Project Aristotle to find out what makes a team effective.
What emerged were five distinct elements that together create a high-performing team. The most important of those elements is psychological safety.

Team coaching is different than individual coaching. Individual coaching focuses on the individual client's needs and goals, whereas team coaching focuses on the team as a whole.
Through this approach, factors that affect the team are discussed, and collective goals are determined. Teams are then coached to explore how much psychological safety exists and what potential issues prevent the team from fostering a high-performing team's five critical elements.
The COVID-19 pandemic will no doubt impact organizational teams in profound ways. Relying solely on virtual communications, teams must proactively examine how team dynamics have changed, and implement strategies to adapt to the challenges that long-term virtual interaction will bring. Team coaching can help co-create actionable steps to optimize team performance and team goal attainment.
