ColumnCrossing 1,200+ ICF Coaching Hours: Why Inquiry Outshines Advice
Advice tells someone what to do; powerful coaching connects them to who they are capable of becoming.
By Coach Sharon · 2026.05.20 · Questions to Insight
Across 1,200+ hours of coaching dialogues culminating in ICF PCC certification, one foundational truth crystallized:
“Every individual is the supreme expert of their own life, inherently creative, resourceful, and whole.”
While consulting dispenses external formulas, professional coaching ignites internal agency. Advice borrowed from others falters at the first obstacle; decisions born from deep self-discovery endure every storm.
My role as your coach is not to give you a map, but to hold a clear, warm mirror so you can recognize your own compass.
I believe unconditionally in your innate brilliance.
