Coaching

Working effectively with others.

In a work context, coaching targets high performance and improvement and usually focuses on specific skills and goals in a one-to-one relationship between an individual coachee and the coach.

A programme of coaching may also have a positive impact on an individual’s personal attributes, such as social interaction or confidence.

Coaching also describes a management style focused on empowering individual team members.

Coaches may use one or more of a number of coaching models, for example the GROW or TGROW models.

The International Coaching Federation (ICF) defines coaching as:

"Partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential."
