Lydia T. Mardenborough
— Founder & Principal Consultant
“In my years of working with 5280 PMO, I was consistently impressed by their leadership and ownership on multi-million-dollar projects. Unlike other project managers, they understood the technical aspects critical to tracking progress and mitigating risk, which kept us on time and within budget. 5280 PMO took personal responsibility for each project’s success, providing value at every stage and ensuring that resources were efficiently managed. They added serious value and accountability throughout the project lifecycle.”

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
What is coaching?
Coaching is a collaborative process that helps you clarify your goals, uncover barriers, and create an action plan for personal and professional growth. Unlike giving advice or telling you what to do, coaching focuses on asking powerful questions that help you find your own solutions and take confident steps forward.

Is coaching the same as mentoring?
- Not quite. Mentoring is usually based on guidance from someone who’s been where you want to go — they share experience, advice, and perspective.
- Coaching, on the other hand, is about helping you discover your own answers. A coach partners with you to draw out your strengths, build self-awareness, and help you move from where you are to where you want to be.
Is coaching therapy?
- No — coaching is not therapy. Therapy focuses on healing past wounds or addressing mental health concerns. Coaching focuses on growth, goals, and forward movement.
- If therapy helps you make peace with your past, coaching helps you build momentum for your future.
Who is coaching for?
Coaching is for anyone ready to grow — whether you’re leading a team, navigating change, or seeking more clarity and purpose in life. You don’t need to have all the answers; you just need the desire to move forward.
What are the different types of coaching?
Coaching takes many forms depending on your goals, focus, and stage of growth. Here are four of the most common types you’ll find:
Life Coaching – Helps individuals clarify their values, strengthen confidence, and create balance between personal, spiritual, and professional goals.
Leadership Coaching – Builds skills for leading with vision, empathy, and accountability. Often focuses on communication, team influence, and personal effectiveness.
Executive Coaching – Designed for business leaders and professionals who want to improve decision-making, strategic thinking, and organizational impact.
Performance Coaching – Targets specific areas of improvement—like productivity, focus, or mindset—to help you perform at your best in your work and daily life.
Each coaching type serves a different purpose, but all share the same foundation: helping you grow with clarity, purpose, and action.
What is the International Coaching Federation (ICF)?
The International Coaching Federation (ICF) is the leading global organization dedicated to advancing the coaching profession. It sets the industry standards for ethics, certification, and professional excellence in coaching worldwide.
- ICF coaches complete accredited training programs, commit to a strict code of ethics, and demonstrate proven coaching competencies.
- Working with or learning from an ICF-trained coach ensures that your coaching experience is built on quality, integrity, and accountability.
