What is remarkable is its sheer power and versatility. Coaching will help you perform a new task, improve your performance in your chosen profession, develop a new skill or solve a problem.In more general terms, many people are turning to coaches to find direction and balance." |

"You may be surprised at the title being simply `a definition'. I make no apology for this. There is, to put it simply, no common definition of what coaching is. Yet it must be attractive because hundreds of people train every year. Be it a Life Coach or a Business Coach………they aspire to be `Coaches'.
A typical definition of coaching is, `The art of facilitating the performance, learning and development of another'. Because I coach people who are all very different, I find that I use different styles for different people.
It is the same with all `art'. What one person sees as `art' another sees in a completely different light. Coaching, however, is not for the spectator: it is a discussion; a stirring, provoking, stimulating exercise; a means of getting at the heart of the matter. That is what is at stake.
We know that we only use a fraction of our brain power at any given time; coaching is about helping the Client to think of things from a different perspective. It is helping a person achieve more from the depths of their being than they would otherwise have been able.
Non-directive coaching can help Clients really dig into the depths of what really is stopping them…..and I never cease to be amazed at the ingenious solutions they find.
Coaching is always about what the Client wants…. their hopes and aspirations.
Some people frown on `directive' coaching……but if the Client has already given permission for you to help them in this way, I see nothing wrong in it.Many Clients have come to me terrified of public speaking - if we were to `play in their world', it would remain a problem. By approaching the subject matter from a completely different angle, all those Clients are now brilliant public speakers.
It is this aspect of being able completely to change a person's view of themselves and of the world which attracts me in the wonderful world of coaching.
A definition of Coaching? Unlocking Amazing Potential! Each and every one of us has it….and what a joy to help people access theirs!" |
