What is coaching?

Coaching is a process that focuses on the 'here and now' or the future rather than the distant past (thats counselling) to improve performance.

Even though there are many different coaching models, which we use, Pebble's view is that a coach is not an expert on you! Instead, a coach is a facilitator of learning. YOU are an expert on you, and a coach is a catalyst, helping draw out a client's own wisdom.

It’s a way for people to get clear about what they want to do, why they want to do it, and how they can go about doing it. Simply put, coaching can help with any problem that is presenting its self.

Why choose a coach?

Anyone can find themselves struggling to focus on the big picture when faced with their day-to-day challenges. It dosent matter who you are or what you do, the challenges you face are real for you. Sometimes the biggest obstacles to success and achieving our potential are internal and not external. 

Give that some thought for a minute. In other words, sometimes our biggest limitations are what we believe to be true. This is what would be described as a mind-limiting belief. 

Benefits of coaching

Many managers find themselves feeling overwhelmed and uncertain of how to best support their team. People who are career professionals, often hit bumbs in the road and are faced with situations they are unsure what to do with. Coaching can provide a much-needed sounding board and fresh perspective. It can also help you develop your skills and confidence in your decision making. 

Here are a few reasons why coaching works:

• Coaching helps you clarify your priorities. (this is a big one!)
• Coaching helps you develop actionable plans to achieve your goals.
• Coaching provides a sounding board for you to brainstorm ideas and troubleshoot problems.
• Coaching helps you build your confidence and skills in helping others.
