        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,
