Coaching is a highly tuned and powerful process of communication and problem solving. The relationship between a coach and a client is Co-Creative and focused entirely on the client’s interests, challenges, and goals. If you have ever had a powerful conversation with someone and, as a result, they transformed in some small or even significant way, you were probably using coaching skills. the coaching relationship is unique for the coach is not an ordinary person that the client communicates with as a friend - of course the coach can become a friend of his client - but during the coaching sessions the client communicates with the certified coach who has been trained very carefully on a set of competencies identified by the International Coaching Federation ICF. Coaching competencies such as profound listening , being present , acceptance and asking powerful provoking questions create a safe environment necessary for the empowerment of the client and expand his awareness of himself and the way he interacts with life. Through that state of empowerment the client can achieve what he wants for himself, which he may not have been able to achieve alone . This is a simple overview of what coaching is and how it works.
