Frequently Asked Questions:

What is the difference between coaching, and counseling?

One significant difference between coaching and counseling is that in

coaching, we deal almost entirely with where you are now: the present

and where you want to go in the future. Counseling involves discussion

and exploration of past events and how they are influencing the

present. Coaching is more likely to require you to complete

assignments between meetings. Integral Coaching™ is based on the

premise that building new capacity in the client is needed to sustain

changes and keep getting results.

What is different about Integral Coaching™, compared to other

coaching schools? There are a number of coaching schools and

sources of training for coaches. Integral Coaching™ is a structured and

very broad-based way of understanding human beings and their

growth.

As a certified Integral Coach™, I will approach understanding

you and your topic from the inside (how you think, feel, make

decisions); and the outside (what actions you take); how you relate to

the people in your world and the larger systems and environment.

As well, our work together will be designed explicitly to develop and

increase your awareness and capacity in ways that will support you to

your goal. For more information, please see Integralcoachingcanada.com.

How is the coaching structured?

Free introductory session: You and I meet to clarify what you want to work

on, and whether coaching is what will best serve you; we will also get a

sense of each other and how we could work together.

Setting the program:

We will have one intake and assessment session followed by a subsequent

session in which I will put forward a program with specific developmental

objectives. We refine the program together and, once agreed upon,

sessions are generally two weeks apart. Between each one-hour session,

you are working on specifically designed tasks or practices to develop your

new competencies, usually taking 20-30 minutes each day. We can re-

contract at any point as new circumstances emerge.
