What is coaching?
So, what is coaching? There are several definitions about coaching, but I would like to offer you here two of them. The first definition is the definition and explanation is the one that I was presented when studying for Certified professional Coach at ICA:
"Coaching involves dialogue between a coach and a client with the aim in mind to help the client obtain a fulfilling life. This is achieved by helping the client establish what is important to them and by clarifying their values. With the client’s input the coach cocreates value based goals and a plan to achieve them. Through collaboration, the coach supports the client to achieve these goals.
A coach offers many things to the client during the coaching process such as:
1. Discovering the answers within yourself
2. Clarity of values
3. Co-creating a plan for how to achieve what the client really wants
4. Become a sounding board for new ideas
5. Support in making life changing decisions
6. Challenge to expand their views beyond their perceived limitations
7. Direction
8. Acknowledgement
9. Encouragement
10.Be a resource of information"
The second definition is my own definition of coaching:
"Coaching is a process in which the coach supports and guides the client in his/her personal, professional and spiritual development so that the client can realise and achieve his/her goals and dreams in the best possible way."
So, if you really look at it, a coach helps you in overcoming all those challenges easier and quicker that you encounter in your way towards your success, happiness and inner peace and harmony.
