what is a coach?
Individuals or teams are capable of generating their own solutions, with the coach supplying supportive, discovery-based approaches and frameworks.
Partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.
The coaching process does not include advising or counseling, and focuses instead on individuals or groups setting and reaching their own objectives.
Unlike athletic development, professional coaching does not focus on behaviors that are being executed poorly or incorrectly. Instead, the focus is on identifying opportunity for development based on individual strengths and capabilities.
