What is Coaching ...?

People who work with Certified Coaches become Better Leaders. They demonstrate and enhance innate qualities:
• an internal drive for continued growth and performance
• a sense of accountability, vulnerability, flexibility
• a vision for purpose and possibility

When an organization maintains a coaching culture, they have improved relationships, teamwork, and productivity, because they foster and promote an environment where individuals are encouraged and flourish, which generates lasting and meaningful results. With assessments, open discussions, and established frameworks, Ironstone Coach assists the client in gaining insights and direction to discover the best approach for solving their challenge or creating new solutions, and helps develop action plans to move forward productively with intention and purpose.
