The Jafa Group

Developmental coaching is the art of employing adaptive strategies to move individuals, groups and organizations in a productive direction. Specifically, developmental coaching targets areas of resistance, unfocused behavior and inertia that are counterproductive to positive growth. A developmental coach works by asking penetrating questions that provoke meaningful insights. A developmental coach challenges existing assumptions and hindering beliefs. The ultimate goal is to assist individuals, groups and organizations in making the most intelligent choices for both short and long term growth.

Developmental Coaching for the Individual

Are you looking to separate yourself from the crowd and position yourself at the front of the line? Are you tired of not living your dreams to the fullest? Do your personal goals always seem to remain beyond your reach? Have you forgotten what your goals even are? Do you find yourself asking, "Why do I procrastinate?" Some people may simply accept their weaknesses and settle for less. But the very fact that you're reading this page indicates that perhaps it's time you're ready for more.

Do you feel that you've been living your life to its fullest potential? Are you happy with what you have accomplished over the past five, ten or twenty years? Do you ever think, "If only I were more focused and motivated, I would be content in my life?" Have fears and emotional pain ever crippled you and kept you from being your best? Is a lack of progress discouraging you from continuing toward your goals?

Have you considered developmental coaching as a means of refocusing yourself in life, overcoming resistance, learning new skills and reaching your goals? Whatever your goals are, developmental coaching can help you to achieve them.

Your developmental coach will provide you with a caring, non-judgmental environment of support and encouragement. Together, you will set the process of success in motion. Your developmental coach will help you to analyze your circumstances objectively, assist you in setting goals, establish a concrete plan, and show you how to stay on track while achieving those goals. Throughout the experience, you will explore, grow, and ultimately achieve the level of success in your life that right now seems so elusive. Think about it. With a coach, you are only 90 days away from a happier life.

Developmental Coach Philosophy

Developmental coaching is based on the philosophy that when people share experiences, ideas, and perceptions of the world, we can always gain from one another. Different viewpoints and perspectives and experiences only serve to increase our understanding of and value for the world in which we live. When the interactive atmosphere is positive, open and creative, true learning can occur.

The developmental coach is a professional listener who shares by asking questions that help an individual to formulate specific, obtainable goals. The developmental coach also keeps individuals accountable to the plan that is created and set in motion. The cornerstone of the developmental coach's work rests in showing people new ways to relate to themselves and how that ultimately helps them to achieve their goals.
