5. What Makes Professional Coaching Unique? It’s not Therapy! Professional Coaching creates a powerful dynamic relationship between two people. Clients are already high-functioning individuals. Coaches ask questions, listen, empower, and provide support to enhance the skills, resources and creativity the client already has to achieve extraordinary results. Confidential:Coaching provides leaders a space in which powerful, healthy, conversations can address and confront habitual thinking that stifles innovation. These skills are not controlling or demanding, but instead foster an attitude full of encouragement and belief in both parties. Professional:Professional coaches are highly trained & certified through the International Coaches Federation and are not “self-appointed coaches”. They have professional training and are chock-full of life & business successes and experiences.

7. Clear Direction Assessment Profile The Clear Direction Professional Profile Report & Development Program provides business leaders with a personalized report describing their thinking strengths, limitations, communication abilities, and problem solving approaches. Using a patented technology, the program can include a six month email-based development program for leaders. This product is based on the science of Axiology and the industry leading Hartman-Kinsel Profile. The program is recommended to follow with the assistance of a trained Clear Direction Coach. Benefits Enhances Self-Understanding - Because each report provides participants with a detailed description of their own thinking orientations, participants become more aware of their own biases, strengths, and limitations. A more accurate self-understanding is the key to being able to use one's own strengths and enlist help in areas of weakness. Provides Personalized Exercises - Just as a personal mentor prescribes training and development exercises in light of the professional’s own personal needs and situation, this training and development program provides personalized materials based on the leader’s profile. Addresses Problems at the Source - Unlike other training programs, the Clear Direction Professional Development Program does not focus on training so you can avoid unwanted behaviors, it targets the thinking patterns that lead to unwanted behaviors. Therefore, it addresses what causes the unwanted behaviors in the first place rather than providing information about the unwanted symptoms. What's Included Online access to complete the Hartman-Kinsel Profile. A personalized 60+ page report highlighting your strengths & weaknesses. 13 personalized training and development eLessons sent to your email inbox (over a six month period). Christin is certified in Clear Direction Assessment Profile administration & coaching and uses this tool as a base from which coaching can take place if desired.

9. What is a Professional Coach?(Quote by –Thomas Leonard, 2000) “The Professional Coach is your partner in helping you have all of what matters most to you.” The coach is your: Partner in achieving business and personal goals. Champion during a turnaround. Trainer in communication and life skills. Sounding board when making choices. Motivation when strong actions are called for. Unconditional support when you take a hit. Mentor in personal development. Co-designer when creating an extraordinary project. Beacon during stormy times. Wake-up call if you don’t hear your own.
