“I started my journey with The Coaching Lens expecting to learn how to enhance my career opportunities. The surprise was that I learned how to get a better quality for my life first, which is more important than just focusing on my career.” S. H.
As defined by the International Coaching Federation: “Professional Coaching is an ongoing professional relationship that helps people produce extraordinary results in their lives, careers, businesses or organizations. Through the process of coaching, clients deepen their learning, improve their performance, and enhance their quality of life”.
The Coaching Lens honours YOU as the expert in your life. Coaching facilitates CHANGE through a professional relationship built on trust and respect. Coaching provides you with opportunities to deepen self-awareness, rediscover what is important to you, explore possibilities, identify desired goals, and set intentions. The Coaching Lens coaches are certified in a number of assessment tools, such as Tilt 365, EQI 2.0, and Energy Leadership Index that provide enhanced opportunities for self-awareness and self-knowledge.
Individual coaching is a journey for quality of personal and family life, and career fulfillment.
Personal Discovery, Learning and Growth
Individual coaching supports you in viewing your life through a variety of lenses, providing opportunities to deepen self-awareness, explore possibilities, and set and achieve personal and career goals. The Coaching Lens always offers a discovery session free of charge, to explore how coaching can best serve your needs, and to co-create a session plan that fits with your desired outcomes, timeframe and daily life commitments.
Youth & Teen Coaching
With many years of lived parenting experience, at the Coaching Lens we understand how beneficial it is for youth to learn and master skills which support healthy self-esteem, resilience, positivity, and confidence; elements which contribute to youth being better equipped to thrive in our ever-changing and complex world. Through intentional conversations and transformational coaching practices we will share practical tools and strategies that focus on the unique needs of the individual so they can make the most of their youth and teenage years.
Parent & Family Coaching
Our parent & family coaching program is about helping you navigate parenthood with awareness, intention and confidence while finding peace and joy within yourself and your family. We will meet you where you’re at, hold your agenda, listen without judgement, and help you gain clarity around the vision you have for yourself and your family. We will share tools and strategies and support you in raising your child/teen while also taking care of yourself and nurturing your own adult relationships.
Coaching for Caregivers
Family caregivers are the backbone of our health system and caring for a loved one who lives with dementia is a daunting task. Before you can be of benefit to others you need to take care of yourself. We offer professional coaching that engages caregivers in sensitive, compassionate and empathetic conversation to explore the kind of coaching support that would best serve the caregiver at this time. Support might include reviewing practices that are presently working, brainstorming strategies and resources for the caregiver’s well-being, and inquiries about what would be helpful moving forward. Above all, Coaching for Caregivers is an opportunity to acknowledge the responsibility the caregiver has undertaken and validate without judgment, the caregiver’s feelings.
“Coffee Hour” Chats – Group Coaching
Living through multiple years of the Covid pandemic highlighted for us the importance of social interaction for our mental and emotional wellbeing. During Covid, The Coaching Lens facilitated informal but focused virtual “Coffee Hour” chats for organizations and groups struggling with the issues of work-from-home and social isolation. With so much positive feedback about the sharing and support that ensued, we continue to offer the service to any organization or group that would benefit from online or in-person group coaching sessions.
