What is

What is Coaching and why do I need a Coach?
Coaching is often seen as something that the coach does to the client. It’s also seen as a process.
However, in addition to coaching being an act, and a process, it really is a relationship. The coaching relationship is one where the coach and client work together, to enable the client to achieve positive change, in any area of their life.
International Coaching Federation (ICF) defines coaching a partnership between a coach and clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires clients to maximize their personal and professional potential. The process of coaching often unlocks previously untapped sources of imagination, productivity and leadership.
We all have goals we want to reach, challenges we’re striving to overcome and times when we feel stuck. Partnering with a coach can change your life, setting you on a path to greater personal and professional fulfilment.
The 7 Key Aspects of Coaching Relationships
Every coach will have their own style of coaching, using their own techniques and processes. However, all coaching will generally share these 7 key aspects.
Facilitating
The coach will help bring about the client’s change, but the client does the work and takes the action.
Not wholly directive
While some coaches may take a more directive approach than others, he or she isn’t totally directive. The coach facilitates the client’s thinking, to help the client identify their own solutions and actions.
The client comes to know themselves
This occurs from exploring values, needs, desires, emotional or mental blockages, skills and thought processes.
Goal setting
All coaching relationships will involve setting goals for the client and evaluating progress towards reaching those goals.
Action
The coach helps the client to commit to taking action towards creating the change they seek.
Positive change
Coaching assists the client to achieve real, lasting change. However, the coach also benefits from the relationship by sharing in the client’s growth and development.
Supportive
The coach supports the client in developing their own strengths and achieving positive change, without judging or creating unhealthy dependencies.
How is Coaching
different to Mentoring?
Coaching and Mentoring are similar. Mentoring involves a relationship where the mentor has achieved the success that the mentee is seeking.
The mentor passes on knowledge, skills and experience and opens doors of opportunity for the mentee. However, in a coaching relationship, it isn’t necessary for the coach to have achieved what the client is seeking to achieve. It’s more important that the coach understands the client’s mind, in order to facilitate the client’s thinking towards achieving their own success.
Why do I need a Coach?
There are several reasons why having a coach can be beneficial in various aspects of life.
