What is Coaching?

According to the International Coaching Federation, coaching is defined as “partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. Standing on this foundation, the coach's responsibility is to:

​

• Discover, clarify, and align with what the client wants to achieve;

• Encourage client self-discovery;

• Elicit client-generated solutions and strategies; and

• Hold the client responsible and accountable.

 

Coaches are trained to listen, observe and customize their approach to individual client needs. They seek to elicit solutions and strategies from the client. The coach's job is to provide support to enhance the skills, resources, and creativity that the client already has.”
