UNDERSTANDING COACHING
What is Coaching? How Does it Compare to Other Fields or Professions?
The field of personal and professional coaching has grown rapidly in the past 15 years and, as with most fields and
professions that experience this kind of growth, there are many different perspectives on coaching. Here's a definition that
perhaps most people would agree with. (There are more perspectives provided in the next section, immediately below.)
Coaching involves working in a partnership between coach and client(s) to provide structure, guidance and support for
clients to:
1. Take a complete look at their current state, including their assumptions and perceptions about their work,
themselves and/or others;
2. Set relevant and realistic goals for themselves, based on their own nature and needs;
3. Take relevant and realistic actions toward reaching their goals; and
4. Learn by continuing to reflect on their actions and sharing feedback with others along the way.
Coaching can be especially useful to help individuals, groups and organizations to address complex problems and/or
achieve significant goals and to do so in a highly individualized fashion, while learning at the same time.
Many people believe that coaching is different than training and might describe training as an expert convey certain
subject matter to a student in order for the student to do a current task more effectively. Those people might add that
training isn't as much of a partnership as a coaching relationship. Many might also believe that coaching is different than
consulting and might describe consulting as an expert helping another person, team or organization to solve a problem.
Others might assert that a good consultant would use skills in training and coaching, depending on the needs of the client.
Many people assert that coaching is a profession, while others assert that it is a field, that is, that coaching has not yet
accomplished a standardized approach, code of ethics and credibility to be a profession. This topic in the Library
alternatively refers to coaching as a profession and a field.
Laser Coaching
Laser coaching involves one or a few coaching sessions to address an urgent and/or very specific issue. It also can be
used to demonstrate the coaching process to a potential client. It's also useful for very busy people who are reluctant to
commit to a long-term program.

A "Coaching Culture"
A coaching culture is where many people in the workplace instinctively coach in their communications with each other -they deeply listen and understand each other, generate relevant and realistic actions to make progress on current
priorities -- and learn at the same time.

Well-Being Coaching
Well-being, or being coaching, aims to enhance the quality of life for an individual, for example, to support the individual to
accomplish more personal or professional development, such as enhanced health, meaning and satisfaction in his/her life.
The very popular life coaching is usually a form of well-being coaching. Well-being coaches are often -- but not exclusively
-- hired by individuals, rather than by an organizations.

One-On-One Coaching
One-on-one coaching is perhaps the most well-known form of coaching and is what most people think of, when they think
of coaching. The process and manner in which this form of coaching is done depends very much on the particular
coaching model, training and nature of the coach. An important topic is how coaching compares to therapy (see What is
Coaching?).

Peer Coaching
Peer coaching is when the participants are equal in their commitment to helping each other -- they don't have to be peers
in responsibility or expertise. Peer coaching is increasingly popular because it can be done spontaneously when needed
and is low-cost because coaching experts typically are not being paid for services.

Group Coaching
There are various forms of group coaching. For example, a coach can coach each member one at a time or support
members to coach each other (a peer coaching group). Action Learning is a very popular form of group coaching and is
used by most Fortune 1000 companies in the US, as well as being very popular in Europe. Many people would consider
team building to be team coaching.

Organizational Coaching
Organizational coaching aims to enhance the performance of a unit in the organization (a department or process) or the
entire organization. This type of coaching gets best results when its goals are closely aligned with the business goals of
the unit or organization.

Business Coaching
A business coach helps business owners or members of the organization to improve the business by using the
philosophies, models and tools of coaching. The business coach also might impart knowledge about various functions of
business, for example, planning, marketing and finances (many coaches might argue that coaching does not involve
imparting expert knowledge, but that depends on the coach). Some people might consider a leadership and executive
coach to be a business coach because that type of coaching usually occurs within the context of a business.
