What is coaching?

Coaching is a synthesis of psychology, business, philosophy, spirituality, finance, marketing and emotional intelligence that gives people a new sense of their own power to create the results they want, regardless of circumstances or current conditions. It’s a partnership, a one-to-one relationship that provides support and encouragement.

Have you ever considered what would be truly possible for you if there was someone in your corner-who always believed in you, was infinitely patient, yet had the courage to push when needed-helping you tap into the special skills and natural talents that many of us never had the good fortune of discovering, uch less leveraging?  That’s what a coach does.

Most of us have been too busy surviving and following the rules to fully develop ourselves and make the most out of what we’ve got.

With a coach you get objective, confidential support from an expert resource-a career strategist, thought partner, idea generator, mentor and motivator who helps you achieve results faster and easier than you would on your own.

With a coach, you work on practical matters like:

• Having more balance in your life.
• Starting a business.
• Improving and building better relationships.
• Raising your self confidence.
• Realizing goals.
• Getting raise.
• Getting more clients.
• Developing a business or personal marketing/vision strategy.
• Reducing stress in all forms.
• Having more fun!

For you to get value from coaching you need a willingness to do what it takes to achieve your goals, an open mind, curiosity, a desire to change…to do things differently, and the openness to include someone else in the process.

Life Coaching Questions & Answers

The first step.
I invite you to spend 30 minute with me or one of the Common Boundaries certified coaches on a complimentary phone consultation to share your vision of your ideal future. There is no charge for this call as it is part of the service I provide. You’ll experience coaching first hand and see the value it can produce for you. I can be reached at 954-385-8434 to schedule an appointment or at email me at info@commonboundaries.com.

Here are some frequently asked questions:

• Can’t I coach myself? 
  Yes, you can coach yourself. It’s called self-talk and willpower. It works when you remember, or when you are in the mood.  And your self-talk is filtered through the lens of your past experiences and willingness to be open to feedback—in other words, it is open for distortion. It is almost impossible for a person to be completely objective about themselves. That is where a coach can be helpful. A coach can be an objective partner, listening and giving feedback without the personal distortion that comes with self- talk. This will give you clarity and the opportunity to prioritize your goals, actions and keep you moving towards what you want and away from what you don’t want.

• What is the investment?
  Coaching is priced based on what you need and what you want to achieve. After discussing your goals, challenges and opportunities we will look at what best suits your needs.  Most clients prefer either weekly coaching calls or three times a month with a longer initial session for specific assessments (ie. Career planning, Personality Assessments such as Myers-Briggs, SDI, DISC or Firo-B.)  Typically clients benefit most from a partnership of six months; however some people coach for a year and beyond.  The decision is up to you; however the minimum time is three months. (Average pricing is between $375 to $540 per month commitment depending on need.)

• What do we focus on during the session?
  That’s up to you. You’re in charge. Typically, you identify what you want to accomplish or what changes you want to make. We look at the roadblocks you’re encountering and then develop strategies and tactics. You share problems and challenges and we talk them through. You vent, if necessary. We create as you talk. You discover things you didn’t expect to and even learn things you didn’t think you needed.

Each session is so powerful. I take notes and review what we’ve discussed in-between sessions. The questions you ask me and the insight I’ve gained has truly been transformative for me. I decided to stay in my job and within a few months or coaching found myself more valued position.  I had job satisfaction and the confidence that I could take care of any new problems should they arise.

—H. Flamholtz, Wachovia

• Whom do you work with? Do you have a coaching specialty?
  Common Boundaries coaches work to empower individuals so that they can in turn make a difference to empower others: teams, organizations, corporations, small businesses, families, non-profits, government and academic institutions.  We have developed specific specialties with: corporate and professional coaching, life coaching, relaxation and creative potential work, transition planning, leadership development and spiritual coaching.  Our clients are coachable, ready to grow and are willing to work through challenges to find new solutions to old problems.  We help them tap into their unlimited potential……….into quantum leaps of understanding.  We help our clients unlock this potential and guide them, if they are ready, to the experience of the joy that comes from relaxing into one’s own power.

“ I just received the best performance review of my 23 years in business. I owe a lot of my success to work I’ve done with Debra Gawrych and Common Boundaries over the past few years. I was fortunate to have my company pay for extended coaching; over a one year period to compliment the Building Productive Relationships and the Authentic Leadership Intensive programs I also took.  Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

—Gale Montgomery, Continuity & Risk, Wachovia coaching client

“After being coached by Common Boundaries, I have the courage to speak up at work. Where I was once afraid, I now trust myself, and my co-workers to put our efforts into what is effective; not necessarily the way we’ve always done things. I am more productive and have decided to stay with this company.
