What is Coaching?
Coaching is the process of helping another person to perform at the peak of his or her abilities through a unique co-designed relationship. This involves drawing out their strengths through careful observation, feedback and support, and facilitating him or her to function and perform as they wish. The key here is that most of the learning occurs 'on the job' or back in the flow of things as opposed to through some academic chit-chat.
