Carolyn Collin/The Coach

• Coaching refers to the activity of a coach in developing the abilities of a coachee.

  Coaching tends to focus on an existing problem (from which to move away) or a specific outcome that the individual wishes to achieve (move towards).

• Coaching can be wholly coachee-centred and reponsive to the coachee’s objectives and needs. Other coaches set up a programme or ‘learning journey’ which the coachee must follow over a specified period of time.

  Some coaches or coaching schools prescribe a certain number of models or a ‘toolkit’ to guide the coach in the process.

• Coaching is most often performed on a one-to-one basis and face-to-face but can involve some telephone or web-based sessions in between.

  Sometimes it may be facilitated totally by phone/web-based interaction.

• The facilititive approach to coaching in sport was pioneered by Timothy Gallwey, hithertoo, sports coaching was (and often remains solely a skills-based learning experience from a master in the sport).

  Other contexts for coaching are numerous and include executive coaching, life-coaching, emotional intelligence coaching and wealth coaching.
