What is coaching?

Clarity and a map in hand.

What is coaching? Think of a basketballer, or an athlete. Does the coach play during the game? No. But he observes actively and points out areas for the coachee to work on. The ultimate goal is to, raise the coachee’s performance. Similarly, coaching, be it life, or career or executive, that goal is centered around the coachee, what he wants and helping him to progress in that direction.

Clarity - first, coachee will need to be self aware or come to see what is his stuck point. With that clarified or discovered, we then can proceed to map out how to get to his goal. This leads us to a map in hand, actionable plans and eventually, his destination.
