Foundational Principles
What is Coaching?
Discover the art and science of transformational coaching through Lifeforming’s relational framework, International Coach Federation (ICF) standards, and core values.
“The International Coach Federation defines coaching as 'partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.'”
Coaching is the art of interacting with a person creatively in a way that energizes them to achieve extraordinary results in their desired objective. Professionally trained in core coaching competencies and coaching ethics, coaches partner with clients to identify important goals and priorities, strategize about how to reach them, and overcome obstacles that crop up along the way.
A Lifeforming Coach creates a relational atmosphere through coaching competencies and values for clients to discover their unique design, desires, dreams and destiny, both personally and professionally.
