Coaching is training or development in which a person called a “coach” supports a learner in achieving a specific personal or professional goal. The learner is sometimes called a “coachee”. Occasionally, “coaching” may mean an informal relationship between two people, of whom one has more experience and expertise than the other and offers advice and guidance as the latter learns; but coaching differs from mentoring in focusing on competence specifics, as opposed to general overall development.

Some coaches use a style in which they ask questions and offer opportunities to challenge the learner to find his or her own answers. This helps the learner find answers and new ways of being based on their own values, preferences and perspectives.

Well being

Getting Unstuck

,
Do you spend it investing in being the best version of you or do you repeat the patterns that keep you stuck? Keeping a journal is a great way to find out how you are spending you time. Once you know what you are doing, you can take those baby steps to getting unstuck.

Coaching is a Conversation
