What is coaching?

Working with a coach is an investment in, with an expected return on, one’s life. People are realizing it just makes good sense to have the assistance of someone who’s non-judgmental, a good listener, and capable of thinking “outside the box” to help make their lives more manageable and enjoyable.

The coaching relationship between the coach and the client is a partnership. This alliance is what makes coaching so powerful.

What is the difference between coaching and therapy?

According to the International Coaching Federation (ICF):

“Coaching focuses on visioning, success, the present and moving toward the future. Therapy emphasizes psychopathology, emotions and the past to understand the present, and it works more with developing skills for managing emotions or past issues than does coaching".

Mindfulness and Wellness in the Workspace

What can we incorporate into the work space to create a more supportive environment? Stress free zones, noise canceling meditation spaces. Aroma therapy, color and texture as resources for calming and to support creative thinking. Access to alternative therapies like, yoga, tai chi, reiki, immersive spaces, such as rooms that can support a reset of the nervous system during the day.

Benefits of Offering Wellness Resources in Your Company

Offering wellness resources to employees can improve overall health and well-being of individuals, while also benefiting organizations through increased productivity, job satisfaction and retention. Employees that feel physically and mentally well are more likely to be productive and engaged in their work. Offering wellness can demonstrate to employees that their employers care about their well-being, which can increase both job satisfaction and loyalty. When employees feel supported and valued they are more likely to stay with their employer over the long term.
