What is Coaching?
The International Coach Federation (ICF) defines coaching as “partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.”
Coaching is when an individual works with a trained professional through a process of self-discovery & self-awareness. Through this partnership, the individual identifies their goals & strengths. Together with the coach, the individual works towards their goals by building the skills required, reshaping the mindset, and overcoming limiting beliefs.
How does Coaching differ from Therapy?
Coaching and therapy serve distinct purposes in supporting individuals' growth.
Coaching centers on setting and achieving goals, whether in personal or professional spheres, employing strategies like goal setting and action planning. It's future-oriented and employs tools to empower clients.
Therapy, on the other hand, focuses on addressing emotional, psychological, and mental health concerns, often delving into past traumas to foster healing and insight.
What can be brought into Coaching?
There are many professional developmental areas that can be brought into coaching. These can include:
Leadership Development: Coaching introverted leaders as they step into new roles or lead teams for the first time, helping them develop effective leadership skills and navigate challenges in their professional journey.
Entrepreneurship: Assisting aspiring introverted entrepreneurs in launching their own businesses or transitioning from employee roles, providing strategic guidance for successful ventures with support in areas such as marketing or networking where introverts usually feel intimidated by.

Personal relationships: Overcoming natural tendencies of an introvert to engage in small talk, making friends in a new environment or new work environment or even as an expat or trailing spouse in a new country.
Positive Habit Building: Helping identify specific habits that will contribute to success in overcoming natural tendencies of an introvert and working with individuals transitioning from the initial habit-building phase to integrating the new habits into your daily life for long-term sustainability.
What is a Chemistry Call?
Think of it as ‘speed dating’. Vibe checks are important to ensure you’re comfortable with the style and approach of the coach. The chemistry call also gives you the opportunity to understand how coaching works and for you to decide if this modality suits you.
