It is important to understand that coaching is not what is the easiest way to define it first.
Coach, friends is not. The coach in the client's best to keep it encourages you, and keeps her own responsible for development, client a little push came to shove, when necessary, compresses. But all of this with the permission of the client, and makes with the desire. Determined by the coach and the client throughout the session's agenda allows the output to be focused on the interview, a conversation with the lack of Agenda, be on the client, not in the real sense of the topic deals. For these reasons, a coach is not a friend and be a friend of the conversation should not be expected to chat.
Coach, therapist is not. A history of psychological guidance and treatment of a person by correcting the zero point (neutral), to bring the person in coaching start from scratch and have to take the positives. As we understand from this therapy works by focusing on the past, coaching is fully focused on the future; the client's business in life, in relationships and in life focuses on to show significant improvement. For this reason, in the field of psychological issues such as depression therapy coaching does not take part in the work. However, in special cases, the therapist and client can work together with a coach.
Coach, consultant is not. Analysis specialist consultants in their areas, offer recommendations and share their experiences. This is completely opposite approach to coaching. Coach, believes that the client is in the solution. The unique strength of coaching, the client's self, but did not realize until that moment comes from helping and use of their own resources. For this reason, master executive coach can provide coaching in all areas, but not just experts can share their knowledge in the field of a consultant.
Coach, mentor is not. Just as in counseling, mentoring and coaching are often mixed up together. In fact, someone with more experience in a field of mentoring with people who are relatively less experienced in that area are sharing. Coach instead of sharing their past experience, the client's research, self-discovery and helps to trigger learning processes. By encouraging the client to think more, enables us to enter into a creative process.
“Make Visible What Is Invisible”
The focus of coaching the client's agenda and has the potential to his secret. The entire purpose of the coach is to help you uncover the hidden potential to maximize the client's performance. Most of the time the client can see blind spots that determines and directs the coach to notice them for your client's questions. The client attempts to clarify a little more with each question. For this reason, perhaps the most precise definition of coaching actually make visible what is invisible to the client,” we can say.
Sincerely, with love, and stay aware
