FAQs on 1:1 Professional Coaching

What is coaching?

Coaching works as a partnership between coach and client; it helps to clarify goals, to make them challenging and motivating, then to achieve those goals with the energy that comes from their deepest values.

Coaching is not telling people what to do. It is helping them evaluate what they are doing now in their life in the light of their goals, dreams, values and intentions. It gives them new choices and leads to change. Coaching helps a person go beyond the mental blocks of what they thought was possible. Everyone wants to know how they can be better, how they can improve and be the best they can be. Coaching is the answer.

What's the difference between coaching and counselling?

The main difference between counselling and coaching is that counselling can investigate the underlying causes of mental health problems. Coaches are not (unless specified) qualified to diagnose or treat any health-related problems, although if the situation arises they may suggest you see a GP.

How many coaching sessions do I need?

This depends entirely on the client. One can have as many or as few coaching sessions as preferred. This is because many coaches operate over the phone or via video calls, the sessions can easily fit around your schedule. Some people hire a coach once every few months, some people have a session once a week.

What can a coach help me with?

Through questions and exercises, they will try to get an idea of how you perceive the world. From this, they will be able to identify the most effective route to your goal. Some people feel intimidated by the idea of change and so need to take things slowly to fulfil their goals. In this situation, a coach might divide goals into smaller bite-sized pieces. Other people may get impatient and lose interest. In this situation, a coach might suggest introducing stronger reminders and incentives to keep them on track.

However you approach life, your coach will be able to tailor your sessions to fit. Subjects coaches deal with include:

Relationships – Do you wish you had the confidence to approach someone you like romantically? Do you struggle with commitment? Are you struggling to cope with a divorce? A coach could help you to understand your love-life and work towards improving it.

Business life – Starting and running a business is tough work. Sometimes we get so absorbed in hard work we neglect ourselves. Coaches can help build confidence, develop leadership skills, enhance decision-making abilities and assess your work/life balance.

Personal life – Do you feel like you’re not making the most of life? There’s so much to see, do and learn in this world, but often a lack of confidence, time and willpower can cause us to stay inside our comfort zones, doing nothing. Life coaches use specialist skills to motivate their clients to do the things they want to do, see and achieve, so they can finally fight the urge to procrastinate.

Performance – Improvement is at the heart of life coaching. Whatever your skill, coaching could help improve it. Whether you’re an athlete, an artist, a writer, a performer, or a musician — adopting specialist techniques will help you to push your limitations and exceed expectations.

I am most grateful to Darshana and Michelle for their guidance and business coaching sessions! Through them, I understood how important it is to communicate my brand. They helped me to identify, reflect and create appropriate strategies to market my brand. I particularly appreciate their professionalism and candid feedback of what works and what doesn’t in my 1:1 coaching sessions. What makes them good at what they do is that they tell you what you need to hear, not what you want to hear.

Whether yours is a fledgling business or a fully functioning SME, I would highly recommend Illuminaire as they teach you how to communicate your brand effectively.
