Sky Scrapers Academy -- destined for greatness!

I've had a chance to pitch in with getting the new coaching organization Sky Scrapers Academy get off the ground in India. I don't know much about executive coaching -- yet -- because the field appears to be fairly young. But it's growing in a hurry, and Shalini Verma has positioned herself to get a piece of this growth. Let's take a look at coaching, compared to other types of advice:

CoachingTherapy
for complete, successful peoplefor incomplete, hurting people
a coach listens and prompts you to actiona therapist listens and provides you with empathy


CoachingConsulting
all coaches are consultantsnot all consultants are coaches
coaches enable you to seek answers within yourselfconsultants provide you with answers


CoachingFriends, Lovers, Bosses
a coach will listen and try to hear what is not being said

The coach is IMPARTIAL
Friends and lovers will listen and try to maintain the relationship

bosses will listen and you hope they will be impressed

Shalini tells me
If executives form a relationship with a professional coach, the coach will gain a full understanding of the business circumstances involved, and then support thoughtful planning and decision-making. This allows the executives to apply their personal strengths to their goals, and they will develop enhanced self-awareness and new perspectives on the way.
She has a blog set up for people who want some free relationship coaching.

She's well-organized, she's driven, and she knows where to go when she needs a couple little things done for her. (Ahem.) The Sky Scrapers Academy is going to be hot!
