What is the value of coaching?
Coaching is a partnership between you and your coach with the purpose of enhancing your life experience, skills, performance, capacities and wellbeing. Through coaching, you will focus on setting goals, creating outcomes and enabling transformation.
The role of the coach?
Coaches are experts in human behaviour. They are able to identify patterns and guide you to your own conclusions through questioning.
The most effective coach will have experience in your domain – whether it be the tech industry, leadership, strategy or people management – so they can relate more deeply to your context.
A professional coach will challenge you and help you to stretch your thinking once a trusted relationship has been established. They will hold space to enable reflection and insights. A coach will encourage you to take action , serve as your accountability partner and celebrate your wins with you.
As per the International Coaching Federation (ICF) code of ethics, a professional coach should always maintain strict confidentiality and a non-judgemental attitude.
When is coaching most successful?
In order to be coachable, you need to be open-minded, curious, keen to explore and willing to expand your thinking, be challenged, and be interested in growing as a human and as a professional. You also need to be ready to take action and have some level of courage. Most professionals would benefit from coaching of some kind – facing into areas of growth enables you to become a stronger, more respected leader.
