THE PROCESS OF COACHING

The Raya Group offers a combination of co-active coaching and consulting. We believe this approach serves our client's needs the best. Using both the co-active model and over 22 years of working with Fortune 50 organizations maximizes our expert coaching for our clients. Our client's needs and requirements are The Raya Group's priority. We are client driven. We believe working with our client's agenda at all times. Additionally, we use our expert consulting experience to enhance our client's results. As one shoe does not fit all we adjust to our clients needs. This is what you can expect once you decide to step forward into the world of coaching:

*There are four cornerstones that form the foundation of co-active coaching:

1. The client is naturally creative, resourceful, and whole.
2. Co-active coaching addresses the client's whole life.
3. The agenda comes from the client.
4. The relationship is a designed alliance.

The primary building block for all co-active coaching is this: Clients have the answers or they can find the answers. This is when the consulting enhances the client's results. We provide excellent consulting. This is how we ensure the client's success. From the co-active coach's point of view, nothing is broken; there is no need to fix the client.

In some cases people have a powerful sabotaging voice that tells them they don't have the answers. But co-active coaching stands on the certainty that clients really do know. When they look inside, with the help of a coach, they'll find they know themselves, their strengths, and their limitations. They will also discover what they want, what they fear, what motivates them and what holds them back, their purpose and their vision, and where they sell out. They may never have sought the answer before the couch asks the question. The question that creates the channel for self discovery, the answer is found. Clients do know how to find their way, especially with the help of their coach. Years of coaching experience has proven that clients find their answers. This is a result of the powerful questions that the coach asks their client.

The process begins with addressing the whole life of the client. The most important distinction of co-active coaching is that we hold the client's agenda at all times. The entire process is focused on getting what results client wants. The coach's job is to ensure that the agenda does not get lost. The coaches create a safe environment where the client easily is able to articulate their dreams, goals, aspirations and desires. We help the client clarify their mission, purpose, and goals and help them achieve the outcome.

We constantly are designing an alliance with our clients. Designing an alliance is continuous throughout the coaching process. This is essential to building trust in the coach/client relationship. It is very important that the coach understand how the client wants to be coached. During our intake session we asked that the clients answer a questionnaire to prepare us to begin an enriching relationship. Designing an alliance is a mutual responsibility of the client and coach. The client is involved in developing a powerful relationship that fits their working and learning styles.

The product of the work the client and coach do together is action and learning. These two forces, action and learning combine to create changes. Because the notion of action that moves the client forward is so central to the purpose of coaching. Learning is an equal and complementary force of coaching. The learning generates new resourcefulness, infinite possibilities, stronger muscles and greater confidence for change.

Ultimately, through co-active coaching we create a change that the client desires. Results achieved through action and learning. Thus creating fulfillment and balance in our clients lives. This is success! What is preventing you from having the life you want?
