Coach for Personal Growth - what does that mean to me?

30 May 2022

When I started to work as a Coach, I called myself Coach for Personal Development. But the longer I heard myself saying it out loud I did not feel a connection. For me Personal Development sounds more like something you must do, or what other people want you to do. In fact, the latter is the opposite of what my coaching approach is about. As an ICF certified coach I invite people to think deeper, to become more self-aware, and to come up with their own way of doing things differently. As a coach I help my clients to connect with their own feelings. When clients get asked, what it is that they truly want, the answer is never simple. But being in a safe space to reflect on this question comes with the chance to connect to their feelings.

Coaching is about change. For many of us, change lies outside of our comfort zone. And this is where personal growth happens.
