What is Coaching?
Coaching is unlocking a person’s potential to maximise their own performance. It is helping them to learn and grow.
The coach helps the client to achieve their personal best and to produce the results they want in their personal and professional lives. Coaching ensures the client can give their best, learn and develop in the way they wish.
The essence of coaching is:
- To help a person change in the way they wish and helping them go in the direction they want to go.
- Coaching supports a person at every level in becoming who they want to be.
- Coaching builds awareness, empowers choice and leads to change.
Coaching deals with the client’s mental growth. The coach need not be an expert in their clients’ field of work. Instead they utilise specialised skills to encourage the client to explore opportunities for learning and growth that will enable them to attain their goals. .
Usually, as part of this process, they identify their personal strengths, relevant skills and experience and set short and long term goals. They consider the pathway and any learning required to fulfil their aspirations. The client is accountable for their progress and outcomes. The coach checks-in, questions progress and learning, clarifies the direction adopted or queries any deviations, while assisting to holds the client to account along the way.
Coaching facilitates an individual’s positive change and growth and is a highly rewarding partnership!
