Coaching What is it?
Two fundamental definitions of coaching:
“A pedagogical approach focused on the other that has a goal the development of the other from his context, his objective, his needs and from where he stands on the lader of self awareness.” - Lynne Burney Coach et founder of LKB coaching school.
“ Coaching is helping individuals or teams to develop their potentials, their know-how and their knowing how to be the within the scope of their professional and personal objectives” - Société Française de Coaching
Coach, Therapist, Consultant, Instructor: Who to choose?
Depending on your need, it is a different professional that will be able to answer your needs.
Very simplified recap:
The instructor/trainer is the one that educates.
The consultant is consulted for is knowledge or his know-how and his scope of intervention covers the whole organization.
The therapist facilitate the healing, he stands in the Health domain and covers the complete path of his patient.
The coach creates a secure space for the client in order to explore a specific objective. Thanks to the questionning and the process set up by the coach, the client emerges himself the actions necessary to realize his objective.
