A collaborative, conversation-based process that helps individuals identify goals, overcome obstacles, and unlock their potential through guided questioning and reflection.
A structured coaching framework: Goal (what you want to achieve), Reality (current situation), Options (possible approaches), Will/Way Forward (specific actions to take).
Goal — the specific outcome or target the coachee wants to achieve. Goals should be clear, meaningful, and ideally measurable.
Reality — an honest assessment of the current situation, including challenges, resources, and what has already been tried.
Options — brainstorming possible strategies, solutions, or approaches without filtering or judging them initially.
Will or Way Forward — the specific actions the coachee commits to taking, with timelines and accountability mechanisms.
Coaching focuses on helping someone find their own answers through questioning; mentoring involves sharing experience and advice. Coaches don't need to be subject-matter experts.
Consultants diagnose problems and prescribe solutions from their expertise. Coaches ask questions and facilitate the client's own discovery and problem-solving.
The International Coaching Federation defines coaching as "partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential."
(1) Setting the Foundation (ethics, agreements), (2) Co-creating the Relationship (presence, trust, communication), (3) Communicating Effectively and Facilitating Learning.
A shared understanding between coach and coachee about what they are working on, what success looks like, and how they will work together during a session or engagement.
Being fully conscious and present with the client — bringing open, flexible, confident attention to the interaction without judgment or a pre-set agenda.
