Coaching is not a quick fix strategy.

“Coaching is partnership (defined as an alliance, not a legal business partnership) between the Coach and the Client in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires the Client to maximize personal and professional potential. It is designed to facilitate the creation/development of personal, professional- or business goals and to develop and carry out a strategy/plan for achieving those goals.”

Coaching
is not
consulting.

Coaching is not consulting, as consultants are the experts and tend to give answers to your questions. Coaching is all about asking the correct questions that generate within the client their own answers.

Coaching
is not
therapy.

Coaching is not therapy, as therapists typically focus on restoring dysfunctional people to 'normality', by addressing issues in their past. Coaching is for functional people, who seeking to become exceptional need help pursuing and realising their future goals.

Coaching
is not
mentoring.

Coaching is not mentoring, as mentors are by definition people you look up to, who know more about what you want to achieve than you do and, in whose footsteps, you want to follow. A coach is your equal, working together with you from the wealth of experience and knowledge that you bring to the situation.

ARGIL Coaching Principles

Life is complex, and the coaching journey will inevitably challenge the way you perceive yourself and the world around you. Along the paths of my own journey, my world-view has been tested many times and the following are the principles that have transpired, which I abide by:

Honesty
Respect
Agreement
Process (always forward, always outward, always upward, Kaizen)
Servant leadership
Discipline

An “ARGIL” Client is someone who is CREATIVE, RESOURCEFUL and UNIQUE - YES, THAT'S YOU! If coaching is for you, contact me and let`s have a discovery session, on the house.

The Coaching Agreement

The relationship between the Coach and Client is described in the “Coaching Agreement”, which includes the following:

Terms of the agreement (1 session, 6 sessions, unlimited for 3 months etc)
Coaching Schedule (weekly, monthly, ad hoc)
Scope of Practice (what coaching is, and isn't)
Fee Schedule (how much you charge and in what currency)
Fee Payment (options and timeline for payment)
Cancellation or reschedule of session policy
Where and how you will coach (phone, in person etc)
Statement of Ethics

The Session Agreement

Each “Session Agreement” is prepared by the Client and states the Client's goals and measurable outcomes planned for each session. This Agreement is used by the Coach to guide the session progress toward the desired outcomes. The coaching space belongs to the Client and it is the Client's responsibility to come prepared to each session.

I am Committed to

being fully focused on and committed to your goals
being honest and open at all times
being punctual and prepared for each session
full client confidentiality unless you reveal:

You have been or are hurting yourself
You have been or are hurting someone else
You have been or are engaged in illegal activities

Furthermore, I commit to recommend another coach or professional practitioner should you or I ever feel the need for one.

I Expect You to

be punctual and prepared for each session
remain honest, open and be courageous
commit to your own goals and the coaching process
provide periodic feedback on my products and conduct during the sessions
provide feedback at the end of the coaching period in the form of an endorsement to further market my practice
agree that your name and contact information may be supplied to the International Coach Federation (ICF) as part of my on-going coaching certification requirements. This information will be held in confidence by the ICF.
