Coaching is one of the most useful ways of developing people's skills and abilities, and boosting performance. It can also help deal with issues and challenges before they become major problems.

Coaching is an intentional conversation between the Coach and the Client. It is held in a non-judgemental space in which the coach anchors the process of deep exploration of the Client’s world to maximize their personal and professional potential. The Coach uses tools like questioning, listening, observation and feedback.

International Coach Federation (ICF) defines coaching as,

“Coaching is partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential”.

“Having or working with a coach helps you to remove the internal obstacles so that you can perform much better than you currently are. Coaching is helping you to learn rather than teaching you, as it focuses on bringing out your inherent natural learning capability.”

Coaching is a great way of developing people's skills and abilities, and boosting performance. It can also help deal with issues and challenges before they become major problems.

A coaching conversation between the Coach and the Coachee (person being coached), focuses on helping the Coachee discover answers for themselves. People engage much more with solutions that they have come up with themselves, rather than those that are forced upon them!

Coaches can be hired by Coachee’s themselves, or by their organizations

Professional coaching is carried out by qualified people who work with clients to improve their effectiveness and performance and help them achieve their full potential.
