Coaching Works

Coaching is a powerful development tool because it assists in focusing clients to set and reach higher, more appropriate goals faster than they would have on their own. It expands the client's level of awareness through the inquiry process and personal discovery, and provides the client with structure, support and feedback. Coaching is very individualized and tailored to the needs of the client. It differs from consulting in that clients are guided to find solutions that resonate with them, and the coach stays with clients to assist in leveraging existing competencies, developing new skills, implementing changes and setting new goals. In contrast with training, coaching allows clients to determine what works best for them at a very personal level. Coaches work with "the whole person" to enable personal as well as professional growth of each client.
