Frequently Asked Questions
What is coaching and how does it work?
Just as great athletes use coaches, there are also coaches for people’s businesses and lives – someone to work with to define and achieve goals and visions.
Coaching is a powerful discovery and exploratory process. It's a privilege to work with people exploring and discovering what's possible, looking at what they're creating in the world, and giving them tools to achieve the tangible results they're committed to. Play To Win Coaching is a holistic approach; our language, body, and emotions are all interconnected. Often when we're stuck in one area it's valuable to address another in order to create an overall shift. How do we know when the shift occurs? Results. Tangible results are the ultimate feedback in our lives. Depending on how we are in the world, we'll create different results. Coaching explores those ways of being and expands the possibilities.
We'll work with you on goals you define in a format that works for you - in person, over the phone, individually, or in group trainings. In between meetings there may be suggested practices in order to support you in incorporating the coaching into your business and life. Coaching is results-oriented, and we're committed to empowering you to create the powerful reality you envision.
Things are going great - why should I/we hire you?
Coaching is designed for any individual or team, regardless of the "state of communications" or "success". At Play To Win Coaching, we work under the premise that even if things are working great, there's new ground to explore and attain - what now? How can we contribute to your business and life by enhancing communications, leadership, and teamwork and taking those domains to a new level? At Play to Win Coaching, we support you in continuing to stretch yourself and your organization in order to continuously grow and achieve more than you previously thought possible.
What is ontology and ontological coaching?
Ontology is the study of being. We are "human beings" not "human doings, " yet we often spend little energy exploring our being. Ontological coaching looks at how we are being first, and asserts that what we do follows how we're being at any given moment. It operates from the premise that we are not fixed entities, but rather make choices every moment that impact our reality.
What's the difference between coaching and therapy or consulting?
Coaching isn't therapy or consulting. First off, a coach's job is not to give advice or offer answers as a consultant might. Coaching works under the premise that people have all the answers already - you're the experts in your fields, your businesses, and your life. Our job is to assist you in discovering those answers and learning what works for you.
Coaching clients are also not patients. Therapy definitely serves people, and its different from coaching. While therapy often focuses on analysis and understanding, coaching focuses on visions, actions, and results. Play To Win Coaching clients are healthy successful individuals interested in learning and working with as many tools as possible to master the practice of living a powerful life. Again, back to the athlete analogy. There's always more to learn, and it's amazing how much can be accomplished by working with someone completely committed to your winning as you define it. That's what's unique about what a coach does. It's a great opportunity for anyone interested in living life fully, creating effective teams, and empowering successful organizations.
