Coaching

Coaching is as easy or as complex as you make it. Preferably, keep it simple.

The key skill is listening to the client. Coaches should not make assumptions. Nor should they be judgemental. Nor should they be prescriptive or instructional.

The central theme in the coaching process is empathy. Good coaching seeks to help the other person's understanding of himself or herself. The personal opinions and preferences and needs of the coach are insignificant - good coaching is about helping other people understand themselves, where they want to go, who they want to be and guiding them along the path of success.

Coaching helps people to develop in a number of areas and this is leading to the development of separate coaching specialisms that are becoming new coaching disciplines in their own right. This covers: personal coaching and life coaching, coaching for life-balance and life-change, parenting; self-fulfillment and self-discovery; self-belief and confidence; career coaching for advancement and job choices; leadership and management coaching; coaching for sales and selling; successful business planning; executive coaching for corporate performance and director development.

Coaching is about extracting the very best out of someone and empowering them to make decisions that will change and improve their life. Coaches are appointed for many different and diverse reasons, for example: to ascend the career ladder faster; to enjoy work to the full; to improve relationships with family and partners; to learn parenting skills that benefit both the child and parent; to gain a spiritual meaning to life, etc.

Also, when a person experiences being coached, their motivation comes from working with a coach who is himself a solid, challenging and progressive role model. In this way coaching is a unique way to develop people. Guiding people along the path of success is addictive. That's why most coaches would not change their role under any circumstances.
