FAQ

Coaching is a big buzzword these days, and it seems like everyone calls themselves a coach lately. Here is some insight into the type of coach Paul is, what his credentials are, and a little bit about the services we offer. If you have any other questions, please reach out on our contact page!

Q: What exactly is coaching? Is it like counseling or therapy?

No, coaching is not either of those. Coaching is forward-thinking and action-oriented. While Paul may help you explore any limiting mindsets and beliefs from your past, he will focus you more on the new mindsets, beliefs, and actions that will help you moving forward.

Q: What type of coaching is this?

Paul is trained in the Core Competencies that apply for any professional coaching, both “life coaching” as well as “executive coaching.” However, Paul’s specialty is helping entrepreneurs, business owners and non-profit program officers since he has over 20-years experience in these roles. Therefore, he prefers to call himself a Business Coach or Leadership Coach.

Q: What will our coaching sessions be like?

Paul takes a holistic approach to coaching. So this means that you’ll need to be willing to bring your full self (mind, body, spirit) as a resource and be responsible for your own growth.

Q: Do I have to fit into one of your coaching package topics?

No, you don't have to! You can bring a unique topic to each session or we can design a package together to meet your specific situation. Some people like to have a defined topic with set goals and deadlines, and others prefer to have regular sessions to work on whatever is concerning them at that given time.

Q: Do you have any credentials? Is that important?

Paul is certified by the International Coaching Federation. Associate Certified Coach (ACC) Credential-holders are trained (60+ hours) and experienced (100+ hours) coaches. They have demonstrated knowledge and emerging proficiency in the application of the ICF Core Competencies, Code of Ethics, and definition of coaching. Earners show a commitment to high ethical standards and have demonstrated, through rigorous assessment, professional competence in their work with clients. The ACC must be renewed every three years.
