What is Coaching?

• Coaching is a powerful, collaborative relationship between a coach and a willing individual which enables, through a process of discovery, goal setting, and strategic actions, the realization of extraordinary results. Coaching is a body of knowledge, a technology, and a style of relating that focuses on the development of human potential. Coaching is interdevelopmental in that the collaboration develops both the coach and the individual being coached.

• "Masterful coaching involves helping people transform themselves, their communities, and their world.  It involves impacting people's visions and values as well as helping them re-shape their way of being, thinking, and actions.  It involves challenging and supporting people in achieving higher levels of performance, while allowing them to bring out the best in themselves and those around them.  It means going through a deep learning process that results in embodying new skills and capabilities.  Masterful coaching involves expanding people's capacity to take effective action.

~ Robert Hargrove, Masterful Coach, 1995
