FAQs
What is coaching?
Coaching involves partnering with a skilled professional to embark on a journey of self-discovery and heightened self-awareness. Through collaborative efforts, the coach assists individuals and/or teams in clarifying and realizing their personal or professional aspirations.

What sets coaching apart from counseling?
Counseling typically delves into past experiences to understand their impact on the present and aims to resolve underlying issues. In contrast, professional coaching is centered on the present and future. A coach collaborates with clients who already lead fulfilling lives but seek further improvement. Coaching emphasizes the current moment, harnessing the individual's innate strengths and wisdom to elevate their awareness and propel them towards desired goals or outcomes. When faced with challenges better addressed through therapy, professional coaches may guide clients to seek support from appropriate therapeutic resources.
What happens during a coaching session?
During a coaching session, we begin with a review of your progress since our last meeting. We'll discuss your overall advancement in relation to your goal and action plan. Each session, we establish a new goal, emphasizing what you aim to accomplish by the session's end. You're encouraged to share your achievements and any hurdles you've faced since our last session. Together, we address any necessary adjustments to your action plan to ensure alignment with your objectives throughout our coaching journey.
How long are the sessions?
Each coaching session will take approximately 50 minutes, but can be tailored to the needs of the individual or team. Meetings are most effective when done every other week.
Where do the coaching sessions take place?
Professional coaching can be done in person, via telephone, or via video. INSPROW coaching primarily uses Zoom video conferencing for sessions.
What about confidentiality?
Professional coaching services are governed by the International Coaching Federation (ICF) Code of Ethics that requires safeguarding each client’s privacy by upholding confidentiality in all matters. When you sign on as a client, you will sign a contract that outlines the confidentiality agreement. For more information, visit the ICF website at https://coachingfederation.org/ethics/code-of-ethics
