What is Coaching
Professional development coaching is defined as a series of guided conversations that enable the “coachee” to discover and implement professional and personal solutions to move towards their goals. These solutions, because they are intrinsic to the “coachee,” are more likely to succeed and endure than solutions imposed externally.
COACHING IS...
- Confidential
- Active listening
- Asking open ended questions
- A place where people can think out loud
- Solution focused
- Space for people to change how they relate to something
- Thought provoking
- Supportive and relationship building
- A place to come up with creative solutions
COACHING IS NOT...
- Conflict Resolution
- Giving advice, being the expert or having the answers
- Counseling
- Fixing people
- Doing it for them
- Policing or getting people to work harder
- A replacement for supervision or management
