Coaches often wonder how to best explain what it is they do and offer in terms of being a coach.\u00a0 The International Coaching Federation<\/a>, ICF, provides the definition of coaching: Coaching is partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.\u00a0 Professional coaches develop competency in the eight areas defined by the ICF and live the Code of Ethics.\u00a0 Still \u2013 what does a coach do? \"Advanced<\/p>\n

A coach provides a process for advanced development so that the client achieves advanced results.\u00a0 Think of development as a progression.\u00a0 It starts with education and\/or training<\/a>.\u00a0 It moves forward with practice and experience.\u00a0 It is often supported with consulting and\/or mentoring.\u00a0 Then, at an advanced level, there is coaching.\u00a0 During coaching the client is fully empowered and has the space to expand their thinking through questioning and exploration.\u00a0 This results in new awareness which leads to developing strategies and planning the application of the insights.\u00a0 The client is developing at an advanced level and is in a place for achieving advanced results.\u00a0 This follows the ICF definition: thought provoking, creative process, inspires maximizing personal and professional potential.<\/p>\n

Additional clarity comes with how the coach does what they do in a coaching session.\u00a0 During a coaching session, the coach invites the client to define what they want from the session and to set the agenda.\u00a0 The coach asks questions and holds space for the client to think and discover.\u00a0 The coach challenges thinking and perspectives to expand awareness.\u00a0 The coach invites the client to reflect on what they learn and how they are using that learning.\u00a0 The coach asks the client to define what they will do and how they will hold themselves accountable.<\/p>\n

Now the tough question: sounds like the client is doing all the work \u2013 what is the point of having a coach?\u00a0 Interesting reality: it takes more time, skill, and patience to coach than it does to give the answers.\u00a0 The point of having a coach is because without one the client is unlikely to go as far in their thinking and to consider different possibilities.\u00a0 The coach makes a difference because with a coach the client does figure it out and apply what they learn.\u00a0 Coaching is a place for learning how to think at a broader and deeper level then strategize forward movement.\u00a0 The client experiences advanced development for advanced results.<\/p>\n
