Coaching is the “in” methodology for personal development, but what exactly is coaching?

The answer differs based on who you ask but some popular definitions include:

• “Coaching is unlocking a person’s potential to maximise their own performance.  It is helping them to learn rather than teaching them.  Clients say coaching brings out their best by helping them focus, break down tasks and clarify their values.”- Fortune Magazine
• “Coaching is a  managerial  methodology that  seeks to maximize  employee performance by conscientiously considering individuals and their unique talents and abilities.”
• “Coaching is a form of accelerated learning that supports and facilitates enhanced performance. The coach applies specific principles of success in a way that creates experiential learning that translates great ideas into actual skills.”
• “Coaching is a conversation,  a  dialogue,  whereby a coach and coachee interact in a dynamic exchange to achieve goals, enhance performance and move the coachee forward to greater success.” Zeus and Skiffington

The common themes from these different definition are;  conversation (dialogue), learning, values, potential, performance, focus, goal and  success. Therefore Confident Future feels that,

“Coaching is a dialogue in which the coach facilitates the coachee, to learn, clarify values, release potential and increase performance by focusing on goals to achieve success.”

Because coaching is associated with sport,  many people think of coaching as the teaching of skills, but coaching today is most definitely NOT TELLING, coaching is ASKING.

Confident Future coaches are equipped with the skills to build rapport and ask questions that create self-awareness for our clients. We feel that a key principle of our coaching is that people already have all the resources to solve their own problem. With this principle in mind our coaches won’t try to ‘fix’ you but rather we will work with you to bring awareness to factors such as frames of mind (beliefs, values, feelings,  identity etc) that might be limiting your performance.  Good questioning skills also allow us to facilitate your focus on what is important to you in terms of values goals and success. With this clarity we can work with you to develop a strategy together that will achieve your desired outcomes.

At Confident Future we have several ways that we can provide coaching, each option have its own advantages and, by considering the options, you can find the best coaching option for you:
