Learn more about who your coach is and the philosophy around coaching
I define coaching as a collaborative process between the coach and the client focused on using the client’s expertise in themselves and the coach’s process of questioning to set and meet important goals.
What is coaching?
Coaching takes someone from their baseline to thriving. Coaching is not therapy, which takes you from surviving to baseline.
Coaching uses the expertise, knowledge, and experience of the client combined with coach questions to gain insights and move toward goals. The coach is different from a consultant, who will tell you what to do based on THEIR experience.
Coaching is about you following the right path for you. Coaching is not mentoring, which tells you about the path the mentor took.
Birchbriar LLC coaching with Mary Kate Daly is about supporting women in STEM through career and life transitions. Some examples you might run into include job changes and motherhood, to name a few.
I believe in coaching as a powerful tool to transform lives from something ordinary into something spectacular that helps us feel alive and in our best selves.
