What is coaching?
Coaching has been a very popular word to use in various areas; therefore I find it important to give a little explanation of a common way to see coaching. Coaching concerns the non-clinical people, which means that is not meant to be therapeutic even if that might be some effect of it. Together they built an equal relation not an authoritarian relation where the focus person is in need of any treatment or being repaired.
It is the focus person who has the responsibility for the action in their life and the coach is only there to support the focus person. The coach will help the focus person to be conscious and get the feeling of responsibility for their own actions. It is a systematic process where the coach is going to make it easier to evolve the focus person’s thoughts, feelings and behavior.
The way forward is going to be adapted to the focus person. It is also meant to help the focus person to find the inner recourses with their attitudes that helps them together with a methodical way of seeing it and creates a bigger intuition knowledge and experience. The coaching should also focus more on solutions and goals than on problems. The coach is doing this by listening actively and asks powerful questions. (Source: Coaching, 2018, Susann Gjerde)
