Quick Tip: How Our Coaching Practice Has Evolved Since First Launching

Professional coaching has grown and expanded in many different directions over the years, thanks to shifting client needs, emerging technologies and changing workplace dynamics. As the needs of coaching clients evolve, so too must the strategies, business models and personal boundaries of those who lead it.

Today’s top coaches have refined their practices over the years, adapting to these changing factors in practical and thoughtful ways.

Embracing the Art, Not Just the Science, of Coaching

My coaching philosophy has evolved since I first started coaching. Initially, I relied heavily on the science of coaching—specifically, using a prescribed process and the tools to support it (very transactional). I have since become more comfortable with the art of coaching. If the client is willing, we bring their humanity into the work, and this usually leads to a more transformational experience.
