Professional coaching is a self-directed process by which clients uncover their solutions to their challenges with a facilitator.

Generally:

Consultants work with companies to find solutions to problems by making direct suggestions and offering solutions.

Mentors work with mentees to offer direct solutions to problems based on the mentor’s personal and professional experiences.

Licensed mental health professionals are trained in a wide array of helping modalities, the common goal of which is to relieve suffering and achieve healthy life functioning.

ICF coaches help individuals identify their visions and goals, and support them in working towards these goals.

When a coach employs the International Coaching Federation’s eight competencies within a series of structured conversations, the clients moves quickly through awareness and reflection, toward and insight and motivation.

Coaches facilitate clients to connect to their insights and motivation for sustained behavior changes.

Coaches facilitate this by moving clients through a basic four-step process (as outlined by David Rock):

Awareness of a dilemma, reflection on the dilemma, insight with new thinking around how to solve the dilemma, and motivation/action to change behaviors, thinking, and outcomes of the dilemma.

Once a client has an insight, they surprise themselves with new ways of thinking, new solves to challenges, new behaviors, and specific and measurable action-steps to meet their challenges.
