What Is Coaching?

The International Coaching Federation (ICF) defines coaching as "partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential."

Coaching is different from other types of mentoring or training, the ICF notes: "Professional coaching focuses on setting goals, creating outcomes and managing personal change."

Individual coaching sessions will be offered onsite during the ASAE Annual Meeting and Exposition, August 5-8, 2023. All coaching appointments will be conducted at the Georgia World Congress Center in rooms A401 - A403.
 

Each appointment only, 60-minute 1:1 session is confidential and may cover a variety of topics based on your needs, including:

• Confidential and candid review of your resume and career portfolio material
• Advice on how to address any career-focused areas of concern
• Guidance on the career search process
• Developing a roadmap for career success
• How to build your personal brand

Types of Coaching Offered

• Executive Coaching - Coaching for top-level managers to improve strategic decision-making, leadership, and executive presence.
• Career and Leadership Development Coaching - Coaching for people at all organizational levels who want to find a job, transition to the next rung on the career ladder, change careers, develop leadership skills, or get back into the job market after a break from work.
• Personal Development Coaching - Coaching that deals with the client's life in all its dimensions – personal life, professional life, health, and relationships. Often life coaches will help a client with work-related goals, but will also make sure to take the other aspects of a client’s life into consideration.
