what is coaching?

Coaching is a partnership providing the structure, support and focus to enable individuals to identify, clarify and achieve their business and personal goals.

Executive coaching services are well established in the USA. The roots of executive coaching come from sports performance coaching, particularly from tennis and athletics and have been transplanted into the business arena to help deliver improved results. No serious athlete or performer of today would expect to progress very far without a coach. Personal Trainers look after your body and coaching takes a similar role for your mind. Your Coach is there at your side to support, stretch, challenge and encourage.

Coaching is so effective because you agree with your Coach to commit to take action on things you keep putting off, things you never get round to or tough things which are hard to face on your own.

The Centre for Creative Leadership defines Executive coaching as:

Coaching shares similarities with, but is distinct from:

Mentoring
A mentor is usually someone experienced in the industry who provides advice and guidance.

Counselling
A counsellor works with a client to resolve issues from their past.

Consultancy
Consultants diagnose problems and offer solutions and may support the client to implement changes.

Training
Training imparts specific skills & knowledge.

A coach is an objective aid to facilitate problem solving.
Coaching offers process support rather than focusing on content.

Having a coach provides structure & rigour to the client's thinking. By drawing on the client's thinking you search your own experience & come up with your own options.

Coaching is a de-stresser, by downloading things in a safe, confidential environment, you get to the nub of the issue & start to resolve it.
