Coaching Defined


WHAT IS COACHING?

Coaching is an on-going collaborative partnership that helps you, your business, or your organization develop more rapidly, produce more satisfying results, and build more consistent success. Coaching provides you with the tools, support, structure and feedback to accomplish more in all areas of your life. It offers clarity, solutions and accountability to achieve your goals more quickly than doing it on your own. It supports you in taking action toward the realization of your vision, goals and desires using an interactive confidential process of inquiry and personal discovery to build your level of awareness and responsibility.


HOW IS YOUR COACHING UNIQUE?

The Priority Pro uses the eNeRGy coaching techniques to provide you with a non-traditional coaching model that combines mentoring, consulting and training along with professional coaching to help you get better results.


WHY USE A COACH? 
Coaching is for people who are successful and ready to go to the next level. It is proven to work most effectively when you are ready and willing to grow, and a gap exists between where you are now and where you want to be. Hiring a coach is an investment in you, your career and your future. If you want more in your life – more personal and professional success and you want it sooner rather than later,  your Coach can help you get all three – more effectively than trying to do it in on your own.

“If you’re not getting better you’re falling behind. To elevate your game, find the personal coach with the right strategy and style for you.”

HOW IS COACHING DIFFERENT THAN THERAPY OR COUNSELING?

Coaching is not therapy or counseling. Whereas therapy tends to focus on the past (How did I get here?), coaching tends to focus on the future (How do I get from where I am to where I want to go?).

WHAT IF I HAVE SOME FRIENDS OR COLLEAGUES WHO WANT TO WORK WITH YOU AS THEIR COACH?

Referrals are greatly appreciated!  You can purchase gift certificates (if they express a strong desire), refer them for individual coaching sessions, or consider a group coaching arrangement. (FYI – any contracted coaching agreement with a person you referred results in one free 30 minute coaching session for you or other special bonuses!) The benefits of group coaching are that it typically costs less per person and you have a built-in support system from other group members. If you would like to discuss this option, please email or call me at (908) 281-7098.

HOW DO I KNOW IF A COACH IS QUALIFIED?

Besides being professionally certified by the International Coach Federation, Natalie is a Certified Coach U Graduate, Now What? Facilitator, Energy Leadership Index Master Practitioner (ELI-MP), and a certified Coach Parenting coach. She has numerous years of personal and professional experience which contributes to the value she brings to her clients. Even before she officially started her coaching business in 1997, she was a natural coach, always keenly listening to others and being an objective unbiased sounding board for family, friends and business colleagues. Because she believe in continuous learning, she is constantly participating in training and development opportunities to enhance her  skill set and bring more to her clients. Throughout her years in the corporate world,  she was responsible for executive leadership development, succession planning, competency modeling, high potential leader training, performance improvement, organization design, and various training & development tasks. But beyond all of that, coaching is simply just who she is.  She uses her insights and intuition to help people achieve their personal and professional best.
 

“Natalie brings her vision, commitment, and passion for uncovering what matters most in my life. Our coaching sessions are empowering, forwarding and thought-provoking. My family and I lead extraordinary lives as a result.”

WHY DOES COACHING WORK?
Coaching works for several reasons:

  • Synergy between the coach & client creates momentum.
  • Better goals are set – ones that naturally pull you toward the goal rather than goals that require you to push yourself to the goal.
  • You develop and enhance your skills, and these skills translate into more success.
  • You have a confidential unbiased sounding board on your success team.

“Natalie gave me more confidence and she provided much needed guidance in dealing with my son in a positive way. She also helped me see that I can’t love everyone the way they love me and that is OK. I am out of the relationship I was so hesitant about and I feel better about that. Natalie gave me more confidence and provided useful tools to use with my son to help improve communication and enhance our relationship. Having a plan and also discussing my concerns made me a more confident parent. “

WHAT IS DISCUSSED DURING COACHING SESSIONS?
Coaching is all about the client so  clients determine the agenda for each coaching session; your coach merely serve as a strategic partner to help you navigate from where you are now, to where you want to be. Even when a client doesn’t know specifically what she wants to focus on, if she simply knows that she wants something to be different or better in her life, we can figure it out together! The coaching process begins wherever the client is. The important thing is that the client is committed to talking, listening, questioning and challenging themselves, their ideas and their actions (or inactions) and growing through the process.

HOW DOES COACHING WORK BEST?
COACHING is proven to work when there are two factors present:
1. There is a gap between where you are now and where you want to be, and
2. You are willing and committed to grow.
That is all that is necessary for the coach and client to solve problems, create a new life, turn a business around, and/or design and implement a plan of action.
