What is Coaching really?
The ICF defines coaching as partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process
that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.
In short, the coaching process can help you improve your outlook on work and life.
But what does that mean for you?
Coaching can be a transformational experience, but how do you find the right coach?
Look out for:
Professionalism
Coaches commit to a coaching mindset and professional quality that encompasses responsibility, respect, integrity, competence and excellence.
Specific training and credentials show the Coach understands the definition of coaching, its methods, and its limits.
Collaboration
Coaches are committed to developing social connections and community building.
Also, the coach-client relationship should be founded on an equal partnership, where both parties learn from each other and grow together.
Humanity
As Coaches, we commit to being humane, kind, compassionate, and respectful toward others.
We refrain from judgment and strive to create a safe space where diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging are realized.
Equity
Coaches must commit to exploring and understanding the needs of others, ensuring they practice equitable processes at all times.

Bea Trost, ICF PCC Certified Coach
Often, people inquire about the origins of my session's name:
"Cookies and Tea."
During my travels around the world, a consistent principle stood out in every home and apartment I occupied: my door was always open.
As time went on, whenever life in the big city became too crowded, too loud, or too chaotic, friends would come over and cozy up on my couch, seeking a respite from the outside world's chaos.
And when taking such a break, what is essential?
That's right – Cookies and Tea.
Over time, these breaks morphed into sessions, and listening evolved into professional coaching.
