How to prepare for your first Coaching session as a coachee

Both coaching and therapy aim to improve your quality of life and this episode first discusses the beginning of those two practices and their commonalities.

However, there are some important differences and if you understand what each service offers, then it is easier to know what you actually need.

1:00 - Commonalities.

3:27 - Therapy threats mental issues. Coaching doesn't.

5:02 - Past vs Future approach.

6:10 - Therapy treats a patient. Coaching works with a client.

7:00 - Therapy takes time. Coaching is meant to be short.

7:50 - The sessions are different.

The difference between Coaching and Therapy

I shortly tell you who I am and what this podcast is going to be about.

After many years spent in academia; between the pages of different books [and especially scientific papers]; traveling and living in different countries, I finally decided to turn all my knowledge and insights into something more efficient [and helpful!] for others.

I truly believe in the power of the human mind and that we can achieve a lot if we know how to befriend our messy brains. It's not an easy job but it is worth trying!

The main goal of this podcast? - Help you become your own coach.

My main personal goal? - Live a life with purpose.

The why's and the what's of this podcast

My name is Evie, and my goal is to encourage you to take a moment and just reflect for a minute. No matter what you want to do, finding peace and meaning in it will help you not only go further but stay sane during the process.

I truly believe that our brain is a powerful tool and if we befriend it, we can achieve anything. But that takes time and understanding. On my podcast, I speak with people about self-awareness; life with purpose; and especially why we do what we do. New episodes are on Mondays. Listen anywhere you get your podcasts, and please rate and review the podcast if you enjoy it.

Lets Reflect on That
