Professional Coaching is a professional partnership between a
qualified coach and an individual or team that supports the achievement
of extraordinary results, based on goals set by the individual or team.
Through the process of coaching, individuals focus on the skills and
actions needed to successfully produce their personally relevant
results.
The individual or team chooses the focus of conversation, while the
coach listens and contributes observations and questions as well as
concepts and principles which can assist in generating possibilities
and identifying actions. Through the coaching process the clarity that
is needed to support the most effective actions is achieved. Coaching
accelerates the individual's or team’s progress by providing greater
focus and awareness of possibilities leading to more effective choices.
Coaching concentrates on where individuals are now and what they are
willing to do to get where they want to be in the future. ICF member
coaches recognize that results are a matter of the individual's or
team’s intentions, choices and actions, supported by the coach's
efforts and application of coaching skills, approaches and methods.
