The Power of Coaching:
Learn, Explore, Experience
March 26, 2007: Sponsored by Wolf Block Schorr and Solis-Cohen LLP
Coaching - it's being promoted everywhere as the latest and greatest tool for business and life, and there is plenty of evidence of its effectiveness. What do you need to know about coaching ... to tap into its power and avoid its pitfalls. Adequate information about this emerging profession can be difficult to come by. Some of Philadelphia's top coaches spoke to us to make sure we were fully informed.
A few of the questions answered:
- What exactly IS coaching? How does it differ from consulting, psychotherapy and training?
- What are the qualifications of a professional coach?
- What coaching specialties exist?
- How do I know if I should hire a coach for myself?
- How do I recruit for and hire a coach for myself and/or my company?
- What would/could a coaching session on career development, visioning, life and relationships or communication look and feel like?
- How could coaching in these different topic areas benefit me?
