What coaching is not
The document outlines what coaching is not by comparing and contrasting it with mentoring, consulting, therapy/counseling, fixing, training/teaching. It states that coaching differs from mentoring in that a coach does not need experience in the area and focuses on bringing out the client's own expertise rather than passing on their own. Coaching is not consulting as a consultant uses their own skills while a coach facilitates the client. Coaching is goal oriented and focused on moving forward, unlike therapy which addresses past feelings. A coach cannot fix problems or change clients, but helps them generate their own answers through questioning and active listening.
What coaching is not
- 1.
- 2. Coaching is notMentoring • Mentoring - passing on of knowledge, experiences, and skills • Usually by someone who is older and wiser. • Has normally achieved the goal themselves • A Coach may not have any experience in the given coaching area.
- 3. Coaching is notConsulting • A Consultant uses his/her own skills to improve a given situation. • Whereas, a Coach brings out the Client's expertise to do so.
- 4. Coaching is notTherapy or Counseling • Therapy/ Counseling - focus on feelings related to past events • Coaching is oriented towards goal setting and encouraging the Client to actively move forward. • Tony Grant from Sydney University said, "Therapy is like helping someone with a broken leg to walk again. Coaching is helping them to run the four minute mile."
- 5. Coaching is notFixing • No Coach can ‘fix’ a problem for a Client. For that matter no Coach can ‘change’ a Client. Only a Client can do that. • It is not the job of the Coach to direct the Client to any given way forward. • The Coach lives by the motto that every Client presents himself or herself to the Coach whole and complete, able to generate his or her own perfect answers.
- 6. Coaching is notTraining/ Teaching • Training is directive, driven by the Trainer who will tell, instruct and generally control most of both the process and the content. • In coaching it is the Client who does most of the talking and with the facilitation of the Coach increases his/her level of self-awareness and clarity around the goal and the way forward.
- 7. So what ISCoaching really?
- 8. Simply put • It’sa powerful conversation between a Coach and a Client where the Coach uses tools like questioning, listening, intuition, observation and feedback. • The use of these by a Coach helps a Client uncover for himself/ herself the fastest and the best way to move forward and deal with their challenges. • The power of coaching can be best experienced through an actual session. Words cannot describe adequately how it works.
