What is Coaching?
Coaching is a transformative process where a skilled guide empowers individuals via questions, to unlock their potential, overcome obstacles, and achieve their desired outcomes. It’s about fostering self-awareness, setting meaningful goals, and taking purposeful actions to create positive change.
Partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximise their personal and professional potential.
(International Coach Federation, 2015)
The role of coaching is the unlocking of a person’s potential to maximise their performance – it is helping them to learn rather than teaching them. The coach is not the problem solver.
(Whitmore 2009)
The art of creating an environment through conversation, that facilitates the process by which a person can move towards desired goals in a fulfilling manner – the coach facilitates learning.
(Gallwey 2000)
Coaching raises self-awareness and identifies choices. People are able to find their own solutions, develop their own skills, and change their own attitudes and behaviours. The aim of coaching is to close the gap between people’s potential and their current state.
(Rogers, 2016)
