What is coaching about?
Coaching people, teams or organisations, is about providing support for them to find the solutions to questions and issues they have come up against - themselves.
Coaching thus enhances professional effectiveness, providing support during complex professional periods such as: challenging projects, crises, mergers, acquisitions, transitions, moves, promotion, conflict, expatriation, career changes and the return to work after maternity or parental leave.
Coaches act as a catalyser. They support the coachee, without taking over for them. This is the difference with consultants who provide advice and solutions. They are not therapists either, who focus more on seeking causes.
