Sinopsis

Coaching could be seen as a human development process that involves structured, focused interaction and the use of appropriate strategies, tools and techniques to promote desirable and sustainable change for the benefit of the coachee and potentially for other stakeholders. Its popularity is indisputable, and across all economic sectors an increasing number of organizations are commissioning coaches to support their staff at different stages in their careers.

Coaching is therefore recognized as a powerful vehicle for increasing performance, achieving results and optimizing personal effectiveness. Because it has proved to be so effective, many companies and government departments invest in internal and external coaching for their employees. The work of independent coaches is flourishing, enabling clients to accomplish their goals, both professionally and personally.

As the field of coaching has developed, existing models of coaching have begun to be applied in wider contexts, used with diverse client groups and with different media. Coaching practitioners come from a variety of professions and often from multi-theoretical backgrounds. They constantly bring new dimensions to the field via the adaptation of concepts, ideas and practical tools developed in their 'home' traditions and through interdisciplinarity. It is possible to meet coaches whose philosophies and practices of coaching would have very little in common, although their aims and purposes may be similar.
