The FAQ’s About Coaching
WHO THE CLIENT IS:
The individual coaching client is someone who wants to reach one or more of the following: a higher level of performance, learning, or satisfaction. The client is not seeking emotional healing or relief from psychological pain.
The coaching client can take action to move towards a goal with the support of the coach. The successful client is not excessively limited in the ability to take action or overly hesitant to make this kind of progress.
HOW SERVICE IS DELIVERED:
Coaches and clients arrange the schedule and means of contact (e.g., in person, by phone, or via e-mail) that serve them both. They are not constrained to follow a standardized schedule or means of contact.
THE RELATIONSHIP IN COACHING:
A coach relates to the client as a partner. A coach does not relate to the client from a position of an expert, authority, or healer.
Coach and client together choose the focus, format, and desired outcomes for their work. The client does not relinquish the responsibility for creating and maintaining these nor does the coach take full responsibility for them.
RESULTS:
Coaching is designed to help clients improve their learning and performance, and enhance their quality of life. Coaching does not focus directly on relieving psychological pain or treating cognitive or emotional disorders.
TIME FRAMES:
Coaching concentrates primarily on the present and future. Coaching does not focus on the past or on the past's impact on the present.
Coaching uses information from the client's past to clarify where the client is today. It does not depend on resolution of the past to move the client forward.
RELATIONSHIP TO PSYCHOTHERAPY:
Coaching can be used concurrently with psychotherapeutic work. It is not used as a substitute for psychotherapeutic work.
ADVICE:
Advice, opinions, or suggestions are occasionally offered in coaching. Both parties understand that the client is free to accept or decline what is offered and takes the ultimate responsibility for action. The coach is not discouraged from offering advice, opinions or suggestions on occasion.
