Lifescaper Coaching: FAQ

Frequently asked questions about coaching, the coaching industry, and specifically, Lifescaper Coaching...

What is the foundation of Lifescaper Coaching?
Lifescaper Coaching is based on one simple truth: YOU already know all the answers. You know exactly what to do, in any given moment, in every situation. With each 'decision,' you have the answer within you. And that's really the basis of empowerment coaching. Nothing that is ultimately right for you will come from outside yourself. There isn't anyone or anything that will provide you an answer you don't already know. Our commitment is to help you uncover your own 'forgotten' truths, and help you create the most powerful, extradorinary life imaginable!

How is coaching different from psychotherapy?
Psychotherapy typically focuses on how past events in a person's life may have created or impacted their current situations and challenges. In loose terms, it seeks to undo and 'fix' a problem. It often assumes a "Something's Wrong" perspective. Coaching, on the other hand, originates with the premise that nothing is wrong. It focuses on the present, empowering clients on their own unique path of discovery. Understanding that all answers come from within each individual, and with the coach's guidance, clients readily create their own solutions and actions toward powerful and lasting change.

Can't my friends 'coach' me?
Your friends care about you, and hopefully, want the very best for you. They can be a great source of support and a springboard for your ideas and dreams. Both your friends and your coach have a vested interest in you, but friends also have a personal interest. Good coaches are able to separate personal interest from the equation, which enables them to unbiasedly help you stick to your plans and realize your goals. Also, friends tend to give advice, which is basically the opposite of coaching. A coach knows the real answers come from inside each individual person, so rather than give advice, they are trained to guide clients on the path to their own unique discoveries.

Should a coach be certified?
YES! Though there is not presently a universally accepted coaching certification, a coach who has completed an accredited coach training program shows commitment and dedication to their industry. There are a number of credentialing associations geared toward coaching. ICF (International Coach Federation) is the largest, and recognizes some of the finest coaching certification programs in the world. Though a large majority of coaches practicing today are still non-certified (there are still no legal regulations requiring certification, yet this could change in the future), a certified coach is most likely to display the kind of professionalism you're looking for.
