What is coaching?

Coaching is the mobilizing of a client's resources to an agreed outcome that unleashes the talents, passions, and potentials of that client so that he or she can experience more, be more, know and feel more, do more, contribute more, and have more. Coaching is a very focused conversation that primarily uses high-level questions to get to the heart of things and facilitate change and transformation. Coaching is about the transformation of performance, beliefs and values, meanings and directions.

How is coaching different from therapy? 

Therapists manage mental illnesses and diagnoses, but coaches do not. Often therapists are focused on digging into the past. While coaches are focused on solutions and results for your future. Therapy is designed to bring healing to people, to get them to move on from the past, and to build ego strength to be able to manage a normal life. Coaching is all about self-actualization and generative change. It is about taking people to the farther reaches of what is possible for them.

How do you recommend people work with you for the best results?

Luke has found that working with people consistently for weekly 60-minute sessions over a 3-month to 6-month block is most effective for long-term results.  This amount of time and consistency is key to getting to the heart of things and facilitating genuine transformation. Real change takes real commitment.

​

Are the virtual coaching calls effective?

Yes, in fact, they are just as effective as in person. Coaching via online Zoom calls creates greater comfort and flexibility for the client. Coaching can be done from anywhere in the world! To maximize results, it is important to have quality wifi and a space to work where you will be not interrupted.
