What is the main objective of coaching?
Pure coaching honours some basic principles including: • Supporting a client to clearly define their goal • Coaching the goal until it is realistic, measureable and specific. • Using powerful questions to let the client find their OWN solutions, strategies and resources to make their goal a reality. • Skilfully motivating a client to make a commitment to their goal and be accountable to its success. • Coaching a client through time to reach their goals, dreams, objectives and desired outcomes. TIP: On top of this basic foundation, a skilful coach has powers of listening, rapport building, creative thinking, questioning, and a toolbox full of exercises and processes to draw on to help their clients to help themselves, so you will need to develop these as well.
