Coaching is to improve one’s performance and concentrates on the present day rather than on the distant past or future.
There are many different models of coaching, the coach supports one as a facilitator of learning.
So the emphasis is supporting them to learn. In coaching, fundamentally, the coach is helping the individual to improve their own performance.
Good coaches believe that the individual always has the answer to their own problems.
“Coaching is unlocking a person’s potential to maximise their own performance. It is helping them to learn rather than teaching them”.
“John Whitmore, in Coaching for Performance”.
