Coaching

Coaching is a process in which an individual, known as a coach, supports and guides another person, referred to as a coachee or client, in achieving specific personal or professional goals. This involves a collaborative relationship where the coach uses various techniques, such as questioning, active listening, feedback, and goal-setting, to help the coachee enhance their skills, knowledge, and overall performance. Coaching is often focused on development in areas such as leadership, career advancement, personal growth, and skill improvement. It is distinct from mentoring and therapy as it emphasizes forward-looking goals and action-oriented strategies rather than resolving past issues. Coaching can occur in a variety of contexts, including business, sports, health, and personal life, and typically involves structured sessions, either in person or virtually.
