• What is coaching

    Coaching is a useful way of developing people’s skills and abilities, and of boosting performance. It can also help deal with issues and challenges before they become major problems. Put simply, coaching is a process that aims to improve performance and focuses on the ‘here and now’ rather than on the distant past or future.

    While there are many different models of coaching, here we are not considering the ‘coach as expert’ but, instead, the coach as a facilitator of learning. There is a huge difference between teaching someone and helping them to learn. In coaching, fundamentally, the coach is helping the individual to improve their own performance: in other words, helping them to learn.

    Good coaches believe that the individual always has the answer to their own problems but understands that they may need help to find the answer.

    How can I use the knowledge and skills?

    Coaching is unlocking a person’s potential to maximise their own performance. It is helping them to learn rather than teaching them.

    — John Whitmore

    A coaching session will typically take place as a conversation or practical exercise/walk between the coach and the client (the person being coached), and it focuses on helping the client discover answers for themselves. The coaching can be directed to career, health and lifestyle, personal development, economy, spirituality, and other areas of life, both personal as we as professional. There’s no Judgment or Fixed Agenda, but Have an Agreed Goal for Each Session.

    Where Coaching Can Help
    Here are a few examples of questions that you can answer with the benefit of coaching:

    • How can I manage my time better to achieve all I want in life?
    • What should I do next in my career within the organization?

    • How can I achieve a better balance between work life and home life?
