Have questions about Coaching? You're in the right place!
In our coaching sessions, you can expect personalized guidance focused on your specific goals and challenges. We will work together to identify your strengths, develop actionable strategies, and provide ongoing support to help you stay accountable and motivated throughout your journey.
Coaching is one of the most valuable developmental resources that the Department of Defense (DoD) offers the workforce and has been linked to positive outcomes such as increased employee engagement, resiliency, and retention. A successful coaching engagement promotes and sustains professional growth and competence.
That's perfectly okay! Part of our coaching process involves exploring your values, passions, and aspirations to help you gain clarity on your goals. Together, we’ll uncover what truly matters to you, allowing you to set meaningful and achievable objectives.
Coaching is ideal for anyone seeking personal growth, clarity, or support in navigating life’s challenges. If you’re feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about your next steps, our coaching services can provide the insight and encouragement you need to move forward confidently.
Coaching and Mentoring are two distinct development activities, as our Certified DoD Coaches use a facilitative approach intended to support clients to achieve their goals by promoting awareness and self-directed learning. A coach does not require any knowledge, skills, or experience in the client’s profession; however, an Army coach needs a minimum of 80 hours of International Coaching Federation accredited training.
Anyone can benefit from coaching; however, coaching is particularly powerful for those who are going through a transition, either personally or professionally. Some examples include ETS, PCS, an upcoming retirement, a new position at work, a promotion to a supervisor, a career broadening experience, a leadership development program, deployment overseas, or any other life transition.
Some examples of coaching topics include: goal setting, managing your inner-critic, forming habits and routines, time management, getting team buy-in, becoming more proactive, delegating, self-awareness, accountability, networking, boundary setting, communication, feedback, preparing for critical or difficult conversations, and more.
