One of the exercises we do in Integrated Coach Training is to have you write your own personal definition of coaching.
We hear things like
- “Coaching is a relationship with a purpose, focused on facilitating change.”
- “Coaching is what happens when you listen first all the time!”
- “Coaching is the process of listening, asking questions, and looking for next steps.”“Coaching is discovering the core truth & gifts and accompanying a client toward a future vision.”
- “Coaching is discovering the core truth & gifts and accompanying a client toward a future vision.”
