As per The International Coach Federation (ICF):
“Coaching is an on-going partnership that helps clients produce fulfilling results in their personal and professional lives. Through the process of coaching, clients deepen their learning, improve their performance, and enhance their quality of life. Beginning with the clients’ desires, coaching uses reporting, exploring, and a consistent commitment to move the client forward. Coaching accelerates the clients’ progress by providing greater focus and awareness of choice. Coaching concentrates on where clients are today and what they are willing to do to get where they want to be tomorrow.”
Life Coaching gives you practical tools for developing your skills and talents to plan and achieve the transformations you want. Coaching is about getting the very best out of you and enabling you to make decisions that will improve your life. A coach’s job is not to go over old ground, be past-oriented or to force-feed information, but to work with you to help guide you to find the solutions. Coaching draws out rather than puts in. Develops rather than imposes. Reflects rather than directs and is non-judgmental.
2.How is coaching different from Therapy or Counselling?
Coaching is not therapy (which goes into depth about various issues, usually dealing with the past) nor is it consulting ( which generally results in giving the client answers). Coaching is more action oriented and focuses primarily on the present and future. You will determine your own “answers” through the work done in the coaching partnership.
What are the benefits of working with a coach?
Coaching is proven to work when two factors are present:
- The client is willing to learn, grow, and take actions
- There is a gap between where he/she is now and where he/she wants to be
That’s all that is necessary for a successful coaching relationship where you can develop the right strategy, implement a plan of action and achieve your goals. Anything is possible within our coaching relationship.
3.Who benefits from coaching?
People’s motivation during Life Coaching tends to come from one of two scenarios: either they want to move away from something or they want to move towards something.
In any case Life Coaching is about positive change in one or more areas of life, e.g.
- Love
- Career
- Life transitions
- Financial
- Self Confidence
- Family
- Business
- Spirituality
- Stress levels
- Happiness
4. How long have you been doing what you do and how did you get to be a Transformation Coach?
I have been on the self development path for the last 8 years and will continue eternally. There came a point in my life where I knew I wanted to find my life purpose and help others have a fulfilling life. Seeing the joy in others really bring happiness and fulfillment in my life. In the pursuit of this purpose, I came across the field of Coaching, which I then explored and researched for one year. I took my Life Coaching Certification in November 2008 and since then have pursued specialties as a New Life Story Coach™, Self-Discovery Coaching™ and Grief Coaching. Other programs that I have taken are: The Attraction Program from Coachville ~ which has inspired the Magnificent Moms Program, Teaching the Law of Attraction through Accelerated Learning Techniques through Michael Losier- A Law of Attraction Expert and Author, and How Much Joy Can You Stand? Workshop Facilitation from Suzanne Falter-Barns and Happiness Generator Workshop Facilitator based on the bestselling book “Happy For No Reason” by Marci Shimoff.
I am continually taking programs/courses to help further my knowledge and growth. And this is what has brought me to where I am today.
5. Who are your clients exactly?
My clients are women who need guidance during their grief recovery. We go through the journey step by step to climb out of a dark area of their life and into happiness and joy. We can then re-write their life story to have the ending that they wish to experience.
6. How are you different from other “Life Coaches”
I am different from other life coaches as I focus on grief recovery and life transformation for women. A lot of other life coaches are general which means they take anyone and any situation which makes it hard to know if they can help with your particular situation. Most coaches can, but it’s easier to find one that only focuses on your type of needs when they have narrowed their center of attention.
7. What results can I expect?
You can expect to go through the grief journey at the rate you choose and are comfortable with. Through this process you will recover from your grief in less amount of time than attempting to do it on your own. You will have written or re-written your life story with the ending that you truly desire and live with the happy, fulfilled life that you deserve. You will not be left in the dark and alone. We will work together to achieve the results that you want.
8. How will we work together and what does the program entail?
When doing the workshops or group program it will be held over the internet on a conference type of system where we can all talk and send messages to one another. You can ask questions and there will be presentations set up on the screen for us to work through. For the one on one coaching it will be held over the telephone.
You can find descriptions of the individual coaching, group coaching packages and workshops on the previous pages.
9. Do you offer any discounts and accept credit cards?
Yes, I do. There are different offers for group programs. Check out the Group Coaching page for more detailed information.
I accept payment through Paypal. You do not need a Paypal account to pay, you can use your Visa/Mastercard.
10. OK, I know which program I want. How do we get started?
You can call me at 1-888-503-3203 or email me at reclaimyourlife@taniaboutin.com and we can make an appointment to connect over the phone. I will then send you a Welcome package to your email address to read over, sign and send back to me before our first session.
11.I’m not sure I’m ready to get started, how can I sample your work at low cost to see if it’s the right solution for me?
You may start by taking some of my online workshops online or my downloadable Magnificent Moms Program. They are extremely affordable and will be of huge benefit. If you are ready to take it a step further you may then register for the Group program then one on one coaching.
