What
coaching
is
…
A
professional
coach
helps
people
achieve
extraordinary
results
in
their
lives
by
partnering
with
them
in
a
coaching
relationship.
Coaches
hold
their
clients
to
be
creative,
resourceful,
and
whole
in
their
ability
to
chart
a
course
for
change
in
their
lives.
Clients
choose
their
goals
for
coaching,
with
areas
of
focus
for
learning
and
development
based
on
their
desire
for
change.
Coaches
help
deepen
that
focus
by
sharing
observations,
asking
powerful
questions,
and
creating
awareness
for
the
purpose
of
the
client’s
growth.
Clients
and
coaches
design
actions
and
practices
(“home”
work)
that
put
new
possibilities
into
play
between
coaching
sessions.
Reflections
on
learning
and
the
coaching
process
provide
clients
a
way
to
measure
and
manage
their
progress.
Coaches
provide
a
context
of
accountability,
holding
space
for
clients
to
follow
through
with
their
commitments
and
explore
openings
in
their
lives.
Coaching
is
useful
when
a
client…
• is
seeking
new
direction
or
is
at
a
crossroads
• has
a
goal,
challenge
or
opportunity
that
is
urgent,
compelling,
and/or
exciting
• has
a
gap
in
knowledge,
skills,
confidence,
or
resources
• wants
to
accelerate
results
• wants
to
relate
more
effectively
with
others
• wants
to
examine
work/life
balance
• wants
to
examine
and
leverage
core
strengths

What
coaching
is
not
…
Therapeutic
counseling
shares
some
elements
of
coaching,
including
the
revelation
of
client
self-­‐awareness
and
behaviors
that
lead
to
better
living.
However,
a
coach
does
not
diagnose
a
client’s
problem
or
hold
responsibility
for
designing
treatments
that
are
intended
to
return
the
client
to
health
and
functionality.
Nor
does
coaching
dwell
in
a
deep
exploration
of
past
issues
or
feelings.
Instead,
coaching
is
a
partnership
that
goes
where
the
client
leads,
with
the
coach
helping
develop
insights
and
the
client
exploring
possibilities
in
the
life
that
they
are
already
leading.
Consulting
services
are
used
to
bring
experience
and
expertise
to
a
particular
personal
or
organizational
problem.
Consultants
typically
act
to
advise,
offering
specific
recommendations
for
action
based
on
their
judgment
of
a
client’s
current
situation.
Mentoring
may
be
confused
with
coaching
because
it
involves
a
one-­‐on-­‐one
relationship
that
is
designed
to
support
the
mentee.
A
good
mentor
is
a
coach.
However,
mentors
typically
offer
guidance
based
on
their
own
experience
and
skill,
offering
the
mentee
a
role
model
for
the
development
of
similar
skills
and
experience.
In
this
case,
coaches
are
not
mentors
unless
their
mentee
is
becoming
a
coach.
Training
is
intended
to
cause
learning,
based
on
objectives
as
established
by
the
instructor.
Training
typically
has
an
established
learning
path,
often
set
forth
in
a
curriculum
that
is
measured
by
external
standards
of
performance.
Coaching
does
not
involve
a
set
course
of
study.
While
coaching
typically
results
in
learning,
the
objectives
for
learning
are
set
by
the
coaching
client
and
the
path
of
learning
is
the
result
of
a
collaborative
relationship
between
coach
and
client.
