What is coaching

Coaching draws from a wide variety of disciplines; namely sociology, philosophy and psychology.  It is a fairly new profession that is centered around assisting individuals with self-improvement, empowerment and fulfillment in their personal lives.  Coaching encompasses the concept of forward movement and is solution focused.  It is based on the idea that it is the client, not the coach that has the answers to their personal challenges and is, therefore, a relationship of equality.  Coaches are trained to assist individuals in achieving personal success through listening, observing, challenging and questioning.
