Coaching

Change is about making a plan and doing a plan, but that isn’t as easy as it sounds. We are not necessarily taught the skills required to make changes when we learn math, reading, and history. Professional Coaches are trained and skilled in helping us identify what we want, making a plan for getting there, determining the barriers that may be present, as well as celebrating our achievements.

What is Coaching?

• The International Coaching Federation (ICF) defines professional coaching as an “ongoing partnership that helps clients produce fulfilling results in their personal and professional lives.”
• Helping people find the motivation that eludes them and create the future they desire.
• A process of assisting people in setting goals, eliminating obstacles, and reaching their goals and potential.

How can a Personal Coach be of assistance?

Many insurance plans or employers include Employee Assistance Programs (EAP) as a part of your insurance benefit.

EAP is a counseling service that is designed to be short term and focused on specific problem resolution. There are several ways to access your EAP benefits. A supervisor may refer an employee for treatment. An employee may self refer. Most EAP benefits are also available to the spouse and children of the employee.

The benefit of using your EAP plan is that most of the time there is no copay. The number of sessions available to you through your EAP will be limited and depends on the benefit package purchased by your employer. Most EAP plans require prior authorization. If you do not know how to access your EAP, contact your Human Resources department and they will be able to discuss your insurance benefit package.  Often times you will also find a poster or notice in employee lounge areas advertising your company’s Employee Assistance Program as well as information on accessing this benefit.

Supervisors may use EAP services as a resource for guidance and assistance when dealing with a troubled employee, enhancing the work environment, improving job performance, and reducing risk. The EAP can coach supervisors on appropriate use of constructive confrontation and situations that may warrant an EAP referral.

As with all insurance benefits, confidentiality cannot be guaranteed.  EAP companies make every effort to maintain a high level of confidentiality.

If your counseling need is of a situational and short term nature, you may want to consider checking into your EAP benefit.
