Bountiful Benefits of Coaching by Pam Garcy, Ph.D.

You might be wondering whether coaching is right for you. As a Ph.D. in clinical psychology, I do two primary types of work with people. Some of the people I see are coming to me for emotional healing. This is type of work is deep and helps people who are going through emotional turmoil. I enjoy this work very much and it is an honor to be a part of people’s healing. The other type of work that I do is coaching. This type of work is also very powerful for people’s lives.

The people who come to me for coaching are usually those who have a specific goal or set of goals that they are trying to reach. The work that is done in coaching involves helping you to get very clear on your goals, helping you to leverage these goals so that your motivation to reach them will remain stable, helping you to generate your own path for reaching your goals, and helping you to take continuous action toward your goal—even when you feel like giving up on yourself.

Often people abandon the bigger goals that they set for themselves due to fear, discouragement, lack of ability to sustain motivation, lack of organization, lack of life balance, or lack of support. Coaching can help with all of these factors.

Here are some indications that you might benefit from coaching:

You have a goal you want to reach

You have not been successful in reaching the goal

You would like a partner in reaching this goal—not just any partner, but someone who has a skill set to help you to define your own path & reach your goal with greater efficiency

Here are some potential benefits to getting coaching:

Helps you get excited and motivated toward your goals

Generates improvements in your performance toward reaching your goals & targets

Helps you identify blocks to reaching your goals

Helps you to stop procrastinating in taking action

Helps enhance self-confidence Gives you an accountability partner

Gives you support and encouragement Helps you to make small corrections in behavior that lead to big changes

Feel free to contact me if I can answer any questions about this for you or someone you love.

To your success!
