        What is Coaching?

PRIMARY POINTS WHICH DESCRIBE COACHING

1.  COACHING IS AN EMPOWERING STYLE OF RELATING

       ...the client and coach strive to design a





perfect relationship. Trusting,
challenging, supportive. ...the client uses the coach as a resource
and takes action weekly to accomplish
results. ...the coach expects a lot of the client
but never puts the result ahead of
the relationship. 2. COACHING IS A TECHNOLOGY OF DEVELOPMENT ...a coach develops a client's personal
foundation so their natural gifts
and talents emerge. ...a coach helps to have the client's
present be perfect rather than just
planning for the future. ...a coach uses 7 advanced tools to promote
this growth, but the client does the
work. 3. COACHING IS A FORM OF CONSULTING ...like consulting, the client discusses
problems and opportunities and asks for
information and advice. ...the client pays a fee, usually monthly,
for services rendered. 4. COACHING FOCUSES ON THE ENTIRE PERSON ...the coach helps the client to have all
areas of life work well together,
balanced and integrated. ...the coach helps the client to strengthen
their communication, language and
relationship skills. ...the coach expects the client to set
much higher personal standards and
excellence. 5. COACHING IS A NEW PROFESSION ...it is evolving as more coaches enter
and contribute to the field. ...the technology is developing rapidly
and keeping pace is important. Coach U, Copyright, 1994,
