7. Coaching Defined
An on-going relationship which focuses on coachees taking action
toward the realization of their visions, goals, or desires. Coaching
uses a process of inquiry and personal discovery to build the
coacheeās level of awareness and responsibility and provides the
coachee with structure, support and feedback. The coaching
process helps clients both define and achieve goals faster and with
more ease than would be possible otherwise. (International
Coaching Federation)
