Coaching

 Coaching is never about the life-coach; it's always about the client.

There's no agenda with life-coaching, the only agenda is that of the clients.  THAT's a rare freedom and a worthy, liberating experience in itself.  Even if the coach did NOTHING, providing an agenda-free environment is a remarkably rare, efficient, comforting, and necessary essential for productive outcome-achievement!  After all, if you seek help from someone for your outcome you'll want to use your agenda.  But if the help-provider already has a different, rigid, set agenda, how much help can they truly provide?  Isn't another form of instruction, or therapy just going to create obstacles instead of provide solutions and clarifying change?  Most certainly.  Coaching is not just a mere deviation of an agenda, but it's the abolishment of an agenda altogether.  The only agenda becomes the client's agenda.  In a sense, coaching provides a healthy, highly intelligent and efficient vacuum that only allows the client's agenda to fill the space so that productive and uniquely-efficient change occurs naturally!

Coaching in many ways then is the antithesis of therapy.  Coaching has no agenda other than the agenda of the client.  Coaching is solutions-focused.  Coaching revolves around commitment instead of trying, accountability instead of uncertainty; and solutions instead of problems.  We could provide the extremely technical detailed complex fully intricate explanation of every nuance of coaching that makes it superior to any other form of "help work" but the bottom-line is simply this: therapy truly does not work; coaching truly does work and actively generates enduring, thorough results.
