WHAT IS COACHING?

There are many definitions of coaching and as you develop with us as a coach you will no doubt work out your own best way of explaining to others what coaching is.

At the heart of coaching is the idea that it is a form of personal intervention that is future focused, goal orientated, and concerned with enabling others to move forward with their lives or businesses more effectively than if they were doing this alone.

As a coach you will be offering unconditional support and working with clients using a proven methodology.

The number one essential background qualification to becoming a coach is a love of people. If you gain personal and professional satisfaction from helping others to reach their goals, then coaching is for you.

The issues clients raise are as diverse as the clients themselves. Your very first client could bring anything from financial worries to family or health concerns to the table.

If you choose to work as a corporate coach, your client may have issues around change management, team building or leadership within the organisation.

As you gain confidence and experience you may start to specialise in one specific type of coaching, or you may decide to only coach one particular type of client.

The personal challenge of coaching clients through a huge variety of issues is frequently cited by our graduates as a major motivation.

Coaching is an enormously rewarding and fulfilling career.

Coaches help people.
