The International Coaching Community defines coaching as "...Coaching is not telling people what to do; it is helping them clarify and control their life. It is helping them evaluate what they are doing now in their life in the light of their goals, dreams, values and intentions. It gives them new choices and leads to change. Coaching helps a person go beyond the mental blocks of what they thought was possible. Coaching works as a partnership between coach and client, it helps to clarify goals, to make them challenging and motivating, then to achieve those goals with the energy that comes from their deepest values."
In contrast, therapy focuses on an individual's past to understand their present. Coaching focuses on present state, and is action-oriented to the future. At re-mom, a heavy emphasis is made on change planning and change sustainability within each of our programs.
