brain, conscious , sub conscious & super conscious mind. In another words we can say Personal

professional relationships.
I would like to add core values of Coach are--- Integrity, Trust, Honesty, Excellence, Care,
Professionalism and Accountability.
Coaching is a profession to help or support client and to find supportive resolutions.
Professional Coaches ( Accredited or Certified ) work with their clients in all areas of Life.
We can broadly define 7 Areas of Life – Career, Family, Mental, Health, Social, Spiritual & Financial.
Coaches do believe that their clients are resourceful and the coach `s role is to allow the client to
enhance their own skills , resources and natural creativity. By using effective coaching skills ,work
in partnership with their clients on a voyage of self discovery of strategies & solutions to achieving
their dreams , aspiration and goals.
There are number of studies conducted to measure effectiveness and ROI of Coaching in businesses
show many tangible and non tangible results.
There are many roles of coaches – they help you in personal and professional life. Coaches are
supporting professionals like therapist, doctors, psychologist, teachers & mentors.
For coaches we need to meditate a lot , coach safely, live simply, love generously, care deeply and
speak kindly with depth.
