Coaching is the practice of partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. Coaches honor the client as the expert in his or her life and work and believe every client is naturally creative, resourceful and whole. In coaching, we recognize that everyone is unique and an expert in their own life. Your experiences interacting with the world is different from your coach’s experiences. We are not here to give you the answers because doing so would come from our own biases and life experiences, which does not acknowledge your value.

Instead, we will focus on learning from your experiences and then co-create solutions that make sense from your perspective and available choices. We all have goals we want to reach, challenges we’re striving to overcome and times when we feel stuck. Partnering with a coach can change your life, setting you on a path to greater personal and professional fulfillment.

There are a lot of coaches out there, and anyone can call themselves a coach; however, the International Coaching Federation (ICF) is the leading government body of the coaching field and sets the standards of certification within the coaching industry. Their credentials are considered by most to be the ‘gold standard’ in the coaching field.

Do you have 30 seconds? Take an assessment to help identify how you prioritize various areas of life? This tool, the Wheel of Life, is one of many we might use together. It graphically identifies areas where you currently devote energy, bringing attention to areas you might want to change. After you’re done, think about the balance in your life and which areas need alignment to achieve more balance.

Unlike coaching which focuses on unlocking the answers a client already has, consulting taps into the full range of specific expertise and experience the consultant brings to the engagement. In the case of Apex C³ we bring decades of experience delivering impact across:
