What is coaching?

Coaching is a process that helps you learn deep insights about yourself and act on them to live your best life. Coaching is an investment in yourself, similar to investing in a course to learn a new skill. But it's much more than that because coaching helps you understand who you are being right now and gives you the opportunity to decide if you want to change it and if so, discover how.

You are not alone in this journey. Your coach is your dedicated companion on this journey of transformation, helping you evaluate your thoughts, beliefs, assumptions and how you view your world in an objective, nonjudgmental way. Your coach will also help you identify and get really specific about what goals you want to pursue, plus help you figure out what roadbkocks lie in your way and co-create action steps with you.

Some problems and situations make you question your career and your sanity. Having guidance, a 3rd party perspective, and a safe space about a problem changes everything. I realized that my sanity is fine; this is an actual problem that I could either walk away from or try another tactic.

After the coaching call, I felt more confident, and more up beat. I felt like I had a clearer roadmap for reaching my career goals. I am extremely satisfied. I learned that there is "something" blocking me from being more confident in my discussions and negotiations. I learned that I need to be more deliberate in my self-reflections to be able to figure out what that "something" is.

I will continue to build my confidence, and I'm no longer stressed out about walking away from situations that actively tear down my confidence. I will continue to self-reflect on my goals and how to get there.
I recommend Raihana to anyone searching coaching. She is professional and thoughtful. Her guidance is amazing, and practical.

Coaching is about co-creating a relationship between the client

and coach, where a trusting environment is established for the

client to engage with the coach in a thought-provoking

conversation, all in a safe space.

A mentor talks to you

A sponsor talks about you

A coach talks with you

The stronger the trust between client and coach, the more powerful the insights will be derived

from each conversation, which will help the client create action steps towards their desired outcome.

A coach enables the client to feel heard, where the coach completely focuses their attention on the client …listening and observing for clues to help the client gain clarity on what stands in the way of achieving their goal or making progress.

A coach will focus on helping you get what you want out of each conversation and therefore a coach will not share their own experience or their own opinion unless you grant the coach permission to share it.

Coaching is different from mentoring in that a coach can have a different experience than you to guide you toward achieving your goals. A coach is an expert in the coaching process. The coach empowers the client to derive insights because the client is the expert in their own life.

Let's talk

A coaching conversation is very different from one you would have with your best friend, family member, or even your intimate partner because a coach will never judge you for what you share. A coach will always empower you to make the decision without telling what to do.

In a coaching conversation, you are the expert in your own life and the coach will empower you to lead the conversation. The role of the coach is to listen, listen and listen more. Plus, the coach is skilled in asking the right questions for each individual client to identify barriers, mental blockers and help the client create a path to move them towards their goal, with each conversation.

Coaching CAN help you live your best life

Coaching CAN help you unlock and activate your hidden talents and potential

But the above is only possible when YOU are ready to put in the time and effort, be open and willing to improve yourself and spend money to transform into your best self.
