Coaching - What is it?

"Coaching is an ongoing partnership that helps clients achieve their personal and professional goals. Through the coaching process, clients can learn comprehensively, improve their performance and improve their quality of life.

The client brings his or her topic to each coaching session, while the coach listens intensively and is available to assist with observations and questions. The interaction leads the client to comprehensive clarity and active action.

Coaching accelerates the client's progress as he becomes aware of his possibilities and places them at the centre.

The coach focuses on where the client is today and on his willingness to make changes to get where he wants to be tomorrow".
