Coaching

What is Coaching?

During the past few years Coaching has been defined in many ways. 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.

"All coaching is, is taking a player where he can't take himself.”

Coaching has traditionally been associated with sports. Every top athlete has a coach. In the last few years, coaching has become applicable in every area, in business and in every aspect of life as well as sport.

What does the coach do for you?

• Creates a safe environment in which people see themselves more clearly; the coach does this by listening, asking focused questions, reflecting back, challenging, and acknowledging the client
• Asks for more intentional thought, action, and behavior changes than the client would have asked of him or herself
• Clarifies goals and agreed-upon results
• Identifies gaps between where the client is and where the client needs or wants to be
• Helps the client develop a strong strategy and action plan to close the gap
• Understands and anticipates potential obstacles
• Guides the building of the structure, accountability, and support necessary to ensure sustained commitment
