Coach or Counselor: Which is Best for You?

We are all familiar with coaches because so many of us have helped our kids soccer and baseball teams. In addition ot a Coach most school and professional teams also have a Trainer and a Doctor in case some of the players get hurt in the games.

Coaches focus on gaining skills and discovering sports talents. Their goal is to help the players grow in resiliency and strength as well as have fun. Although a Coach may give First Aid to a player in an emergency the Physician would be called asap to care for the long term needs of the injured member.

The same is true for Personal and Executive Coaches. We focus on Positive Strengths like developing the Fruit of the Holy Spirit and discovering God's gifts and call in life and work. We know from experience and research, to say nothing about the Bible, that people live much more satisfied lives when they develop high levels of love, joy, peace, gentleness, meekness, kindness and patience.

I am a Family Therapist who can help people severely wounded in the game of life. For thirty years I have provided Clinical Counseling to hundreds of the Greater Cincinnati community. However, I greatly prefer being a Coach that shows folks how to prevent injuries in the first place. In fact I have spent far more time Training Coaches how to Coach and have set up Coaching Centers all over the world.

If you are interested in being Coached or being a Coach, give me a call or write a comment.
