Are you interested in transforming your life and don’t know where to start? Coaching can help. MY COACHING PHILOSOPHY/CORE VALUES & GUIDING PRINCIPLES I embrace the following core tenets:
WHAT IS COACHING? "Today, on the edge of a new decade, the field has matured into a profession with standards, methodologies, and research, writing and ethical practices. The work of coaching produces outcomes and results that support leaders and individuals in their developmental pathways and easily maps to measurable outcomes that matter." "The field of coaching emerged in the late 1980’s to train professional in all dimensions of leadership effectiveness. The Hudson Institute trains coaches to facilitate these qualities in their clients. Coaching keeps clients focused on inner purpose and how to shape that purpose in a world of infinite possibilities." What are professional certified coaches trained to do? It is important to ensure you are working with a certified, professional coach. This means the coach has invested significant effort to obtain coach-specific training, has completed a rigorous credentialing process, such as the training and certification programs governed by the ICF, and continues their own professional development through related continuing education unit requirements to maintain their credentials. Janet received her professional training through the Hudson Institute of Santa Barbara, one of the nation’s leading coaching and leadership programs that is an Accredited Coach Training Program through the International Coach Federation (ICF). She embraces its framework and approach. Doug Silsbee, author of Presenced Based Coaching, defines coaching as that part of a relationship in which one person is primarily dedicated to serving the long term development of competence, self generation and aliveness in the other. About Janet Boguch and Wide Angle Coaching If you were to describe Janet as a coach to a friend or colleague, what would you say? "I would say first that she is a really great listener. Janet also is incredibly skilled at helping clarify my thoughts and re-framing what I've said to provide solutions that I couldn't hear without her help." THE COACHING PROCESS from the VOICE of a CLIENT "First, you focus on what you want to achieve and you both talk through those goals so Janet has a better understanding of what steps to take next. What I would call the "intake” phase. At the same time, she suggests reading and written exercises so you can start initiating the changes that will lead to your next decision points. Then you reach a mid-point where you readdress your initial goals to see if they are still the same or have changed based on the completion of this work which will direct the next set of sessions as you come up with a "Personal Plan” to execute your chosen goals. There will be intermittent check in appointments as you get underway in implementing this plan for yourself to keep you mindful and to measure progress or determine next courses of action.” WHO MIGHT BENEFIT Clients come to coaching when they are seeking some kind of change in their lives, when they want professional guidance to reach goals or assistance to identify next steps. Some clients are seeking improvement, are feeling stuck in some aspect of their lives or want to grow in particular areas in their personal or professional lives and have not been able to move forward on their own. The Benefits of Coaching Entering into a coaching relationship will help you to:
When you are fully committed, the work you do, with a qualified and professional coach, can be life changing, the catalyst for a life designed with intention for optimum focus, happiness, desire, success. How to Start
