Unfortunately, coaching is greatly misunderstood. It's become a "trendy" title by many, especially in the last year. So what really is coaching? According to the International Coach Federation coaching is “an interactive process to help individuals and organizations develop more rapidly and produce more satisfying results; improving others’ abilities to set goals, take action, make better decisions and make full use of their natural strengths.”
In other words: Coaching is a guided approach on bringing out the clients best ideas, performance, and/or success with a level of accountability based on the clients desired results. The goal is to provide the best learning environment for the client as opposed to just teaching. To be clear, coaching is NOT counseling or therapy to help with past trauma or turmoil, but a tool that leads you to your best future. This is best done through an open and honest relationship focused on what YOU want to achieve. This requires dedicated time to meet and intentional time to plan, execute, and evaluate.

My goal is not to tell you what to do, but to partner with you to bring out your vision and dreams in order to make them reality. Together, we outdo life!

"I had a big vision to work with Christian entrepreneurs but felt stuck in putting together the ideas. I had a very powerful session with Stephen and he really helped me to take the ideas I had in my head and put them on paper. I highly recommend you have a talk with Stephen if you have a big vision and don't want to play at a small level in life and business"

Stephen is very well organized, efficient, detail-oriented, and extremely competent. He had an excellent rapport with people of all ages, especially the middle schoolers. His excellent communication skills allowed him to connect with all the kids & adults and to inspire them to put forth their best efforts.

This is a valuable answer to creating change. Often people suggest that you need to change, but then you are left trying to figure out how to do that. This is a patterned approach to achieving goals. Love it.
