Coaching is a
personal development process that promotes
self-learning and personal growth leading to
fulfilment and success. Although coaching is
usually conducted on a one on one basis between
the coach and client, it is equally as effective
in a team environment.
It is a structured process whereby clients
create specific goals and work on them on a
consistent basis completing them within the
time decided upon in the first session.
The journey involves incredible personal transformations
that not only helps clients’ to achieve
the goals they decided upon but remains with
them for the rest of their lives helping them
to achieve many more goals and making their
ambitions reality.
Coaching works because of the unique relationship
between the coach and client. Unlike other
relationships with people, the coach is 100%
focused on the “agenda” of the
client. The coach remains at “a helicopter’s
view” keeping out of the detail, giving
the clarity required to ask “effective
questions” that illicit rich personal
insights (those “aha” moments),
allowing the client to break out of a “stuck
state” and move forward.
The coach does not have all the answers. Rather,
he works with clients to help them discover
the answers that are deep down inside them.
The coach challenges, supports, motivates,
encourages, provides feedback and, only on
rare occasions, advises. |
