Executive and Life Coaching vs. Therapy: What is the difference?

 

Is your life a little blurry right now? Are your solutions to situations unclear? Is there so much chaos around you that you cannot visualize the next step? Contact HW Associates Executive and Life Coaching division to set up a consultation.

Executive and Life Coaching is a profession that is profoundly different from therapy, or counseling. The coaching process is designed to address specific personal issues, projects, business successes, general conditions and transitions in the client's personal life, relationships or profession by examining what is going on right now, discovering what your obstacles or challenges might be, and choosing a course of action to make your life be what you want it to be.

Executive and Life Coaching is for people that are truly ready to create a successful life for themselves. A life coach is skilled in helping you to make radical improvements in your life. If things are pretty good, but you want them to be great...Coaching is for you!

How Does Executive and Life Coaching Work?
The Executive and Life Coaching Format:

  • Initial Coaching Consultation
  • 60 to 90 minute "Design the Alliance" first session
  • One 30 to 90 minute phone call per week (session length depends on which coach and which program)
  • Email support
  • Occasional brief check-in calls
  • Executive and Life Coaching is a designed alliance between coach and client where the coaching relationship continually gives all the power back to you, the client. We believe that you know the answers to every question or challenge you may have in your life, even if those answers appear to be obscured, concealed or hidden inside.

Our skills are about having the right tools and techniques to empower you to find the answers within yourself.

The best expert on your life is…yourself. You know who you truly are and what you need. You are the only person that can recognize the best fit for yourself. We are simply experts in the coaching process that have additional tools that may be missing from your tool box as we help you discover what your own best fit will be.

The power of choice

Each day we make choices that impact every aspect of our lives. These choices may range from what food we eat to the clothes we wear to how we conduct our professional and personal relationships. Each choice has a profound effect upon our lives. Often we do not fully recognize the impact of our choices upon our environment and future. Our choices make our lives more fulfilling or less fulfilling while bringing balance to our lives or knocking our life out of kilter. Our choices create the effect that we have in our own lives and the lives of others. Executive and Life Coaching helps you create choices that will bring you a consistent, effective, balanced, and fulfilled life.
