COACHING

Coaching is an ongoing professional relationship between a coach and a client where the coach helps the client develop their goals and attain them. To quote DMA president and coach BobBerlin: "coaching is doing what I like by helping you do what you like".  Coaching is one of the fastest growing professions in the country.

The first step in coaching is to narrow down exactly what the client wants from the coaching experience. A session is devoted to examining what the client wants to do regarding goals for his/her personal or professional life, are the goals feasible, what are the motives behind those goals, and what ideas does the client have to attain the goals.

The Coach and the client work together to develop a plan of action as to how to accomplish what the client wants. They develop possible options and decide which are most relevant to what the client wants.

Additional sessions are used to examine what the client has accomplished in his/her plan of action, are the goals still reasonable, and if the client is meeting his/her timetable. The coach provides encouragement in tough times and examines obstacles and suggests what can be done about them.

What is the Difference Between Coaching and Consulting?

Coaching first, then consulting. Consulting advises people on what to do. Coaching helps you figure out what your goals are and how to attain them.

Are There Different Types of Coaching?

 While the basic practices of coaching are the same, there are as many types of coaching as there are interest in the world. If you have an interest or goal, chances are there is a coach out there that can help you. Many coaches prefer to work in a specific area or interest. At DMA, we focus on providing coaching for mediation and conflict resolution, building a practice, and Attention Deficit Disorder. However, we tailor the coaching to your needs and are open to assisting you in other areas of interest as well.

Where Can I Find a Coach?

As with any significant undertaking, a good first step is to conduct independent research on the coaches in your area as well as coaching in general.
