Frequently Asked Questions
What is coaching?
Coaching is a professional practice where you work with a qualified coach to achieve your goals. Your coach will be trained and evaluated in a variety of coaching skills and some offer specialized assessments like DISC Profile to clients as part of their services. Common coaching certifications include CPCC, ACC, PCC, MCC
How does coaching work?
You meet in person, on the phone or in a virtual room on a regular basis in a 1:1, group or hybrid setting. You will bring a topic to explore (i.e. imposter syndrome, work-life balance, or changing careers) and the coach uses a variety of coaching tools and strategies to help you develop deeper insights to guide your decision making.
What is the difference between coaching and therapy?
Where therapy helps you understand and heal the past, coaching focuses on the present day and creating the future.
In coaching, your past informs current day challenges and is utilized to understand how it is impacting your decisions, so that you can decide if any adjustments are needed to keep you moving towards the life you want to create.
Some clients use both therapy and coaching during the same time frame. Others will move from therapy to a coaching relationship as the two modalities meet different needs.
How does mentoring and consulting differ from coaching?
A mentor provides advice to enhance the mentee's professional performance and development and a role model and support system for the mentee
Coaching is an exploration which may lead to the realization that you require a mentor to help you achieve your goals.
Coaches with expertise in a particular area such as leadership or communication skills may offer both coaching and mentoring. Working with someone who has specialized knowledge may shorten the time to successful achievement of your goals.
Should I work with a coach?
You hire a personal fitness trainer to get your body in shape and an accountant to keep your finances in order. A coach is a certified professional in the art and science of coaching to help you achieve success in your life, love, and career.
People work with coaches when they want to live a more fulfilling and aligned life, are struggling with an ongoing situation, want to advance in their careers, have taken on a new role, and many more reasons.
Are there different types of coaches?
Yes. While all coaches can work as a general coach, a specialist coach is someone who has achieved a deeper knowledge and expertise in a particular field of study through education, training, and/or experience.
Deciding which type of coach you work with will depend on your personal and professional goals, how well you vibe with them (trust me, you want to feel safe with your coach) and your budget.
What type of coach is Tammy?
I am a specialist coach with 20 years experience in working in challenging and even hostile environments like Afghanistan, healthcare, and post secondary education and I know what leaders need to do to be successful in high stress environments.
Two areas of special interest for me include communication skills and psychological safety. It is my personal experience as a target of workplace bullying and subsequent studies in my Masters of Nursing that supports people as they work to maximize connections and minimize conflict.
What does coaching cost?
Your financial investment is a commitment to you and will depend on several factors.
1. The coach you hire. Generally speaking, a generalist coach is accessible at a lower fee point than a specialist coach.
2. The package you invest in. Packages may include a set number of coaching sessions only, an opportunity to access support in between sessions, online courses or training, a private community, and additional resources focused on increasing your success.
3. The length of your initial agreement. An initial coaching packages can be 3, 6 or 12 months, depending on your goals and timeline.
These are all points to ask your new coach about when designing your relationship.
What are the benefits of coaching?
The benefits are limitless and far reaching. The best way I can express the opportunities coaching provides is to have you review the testimonials from past clients.
