Within the coaching partnership, what does the coach do? What does the client do?
As your coach, it is my responsibility to: • Practice deep listening in order to gain a fuller understanding of your situation • Provide objective observations and feedback that foster your enhanced self-awareness and awareness of others • Be a sounding board in support of possibility thinking and thoughtful planning and decision making • Be an enthusiastic champion of your opportunities and potential • Encourage you to stretch beyond your safe space to reach new heights in your personal strengths and aspirations • Foster the shifts in thinking that reveal fresh perspectives • Challenge blind spots in order to illuminate new possibilities • Support the creation of alternative scenarios • Maintain professional boundaries in the coaching relationship, including confidentiality • Adhere to the coaching profession’s code of ethics.
