What is Coaching? Coaching is a powerful conversation with someone who is trained to help you improve your thinking so that you can achieve more of what you want. Through the process of coaching, clients deepen their learning, improve their performance, and achieve their goals. Coaching helps you pause to powerfully reflect, and then sends you back into the same game seeing with new eyes, your thinking changed, resulting in more effective action and better results.
Whatever it is that you’re aiming for, there’s a strategy for getting you there and that strategy can be facilitated by the coaching process. People come to coaching because they want to effect positive change and they seek an effective method to do it. “Executive coaching is essentially a highly personalized form of learning. It entails individually helping executives to learn and to make the most of that learning in order to bring about effective action, performance improvement and/or personal growth, as well as better business results for the organization. Executive coaching is concerned with designing and facilitating change and continuous improvement. As such, it involves understanding and capitalizing on an individual’s strengths, as well as recognizing and overcoming his or her weaknesses”. “Behavioral coaching is a structured, process-driven relationship between a trained professional coach and an individual or team, which includes: assessment, examining values and motivation, setting measurable goals, defining focused action plans, and using validated tools and techniques to help coachees develop competencies and remove blocks to achieve valuable and sustainable changes in their professional and personal lives. Organizational behavioral coaching is defined as the science of facilitating the performance, learning and development of the individual or team, which, in turn, will assist the growth of the organization.” |
