Coaching is a collaborative partnership between the client and coach wherein the coach facilitates a creative and reflective process that takes the client through a journey in which they optimise their personal and professional potential through enhanced self-awareness and understanding.
The key premise is that the client is the expert in his/her personal or professional life and has the capacity to bring about the desired change with enhanced self-awareness and understanding.
The coach works together with the client towards a common goal wherein:
- The coach aims to facilitate the process of learning and growth by creating a conducive environment of trust and safety, displaying genuine interest and respect
- The client shows commitment to the process of self-reflection, sharing and solution-focus
