Definition of coaching
Coaching
“The process of empowering others.” Whitmore, 1997
“Coaching is unlocking a person’s potential to maximise their own performance. It is helping them to learn rather than teaching them.”
Whitmore, 2002

“Coaching helps individuals access what they already know. They may never have asked themselves the questions but they have the answers. A coach assists, supports and encourages individuals to find these answers.”
Zeus and Skiffington, 2002
“I give you focus and somehow my mere presence moves you to action.”

The Power of the Coaching Process
“I never cease to be amazed at the power of the coaching process to draw out the skills or talents that was previously hidden within an individual, and which invariably finds a way to solve a problem previously thought insolvable.”
John Russell, MD Harley-Davidson

Underlying belief within coaching
Intent to help
The underlying belief in coaching is that the coachee has within them the ability, competence and knowledge that will enable them to effect changes that will result in improvement.
The role of the coach is to draw these out and gain commitment to action.
