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:
- Take a complete look at their current state, including their assumptions and perceptions about their work, themselves and/or others;
- Set relevant and realistic goals for themselves, based on their own nature and needs;
- Take relevant and realistic actions toward reaching their goals; and
- 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.

The Difference Between Mentoring And Coaching
General Framework of a Coaching Program
There is no standardized approach to a coaching program that all practitioners agree on, much like there is in medicine where standardized procedures are used for certain maladies. Rather, each coach focuses on a particular type of, and approach to, coaching that suits his/her nature and interests, and applies that approach to the types of clients that most closely matches the coach's passions, interests and capabilities. However, the reader can get an impression of a general framework that seems common to the approaches of many coaches.
How the framework is implemented depends on the coach's training and any particular model or school followed by the coach. Also, there has been a dramatic increase in the number of coaches and, consequently, increasing competition among them. One of the ways that coaches can differentiate each other is by how they customize their coach process to seem even more powerful and unique. The framework seems to be:
- Forming a relationship with the potential client, including assessing if the client is really ready for coaching, orienting the client to personal and professional coaching, and clarifying how both the coach and client prefer to work together.
- Establishing a mutual agreement or coaching contract, including about the roles of the coach and client, ground rules for working together, frequency of meetings, confidentiality, etc.
- Developing client-centered goals to be achieved during the coaching project, the goals of which depend very much on whether the coaching is performance- or well-being-oriented.
- A series of face-to-face and/or phone-based meetings with the coach and client, including ongoing questions, affirmations, accountabilities, etc., to identify relevant and realistic actions the client can take to achieve the goals and learn at the same time.
- Evaluating the coaching, both during and shortly after the project, which is made easier if the coaching was based on mutually agreed goals.
Thus, it's likely that many coaches would have many opinions about the above rather simplified description The following links are to resources that describe a similar framework.

Coaching Conversations and Laser Coaching
Coaching Conversations
In contrast to a coaching program, which includes the above
framework, coaching can be done in a one-time conversation. The
conversation might include a small sampling of the type of support
that a coach would give in each of the meetings in a coaching
program. One of the hallmarks of coaching is the use of questions.
(It's important to acknowledge that the primary use of questions
is not unique to coaching; consider, for example, Action
Learning (developed in the 1930s or self-directed Rogerian
Therapy heralded by Carl Rogers.) Here's an example of the
difference between a coaching conversation and a common chatty
conversation, when trying to help someone.

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.

Are You Ready for Coaching?
You might have realized some benefits that you might gain from coaching. That's not enough. You also need to be ready to work with someone in a relationship where the other person (the coach) is there to help you -- you need to be ready to accept that help. Here are some quick assessments to help you think about whether you're ready for coaching.

What Does Coaching Cost? How Long Does Coaching Take?
This is a little like asking "How much does a car cost?" because the cost and duration of coaching depend on what you want to accomplish by using a coach and also on your nature when being involved with a coach to meet your needs. However, the following links are to a variety of types of coaches and perhaps it'll be useful to scan their information to get a sense for fees, duration and even how they work with clients.

Two Broad Categories of Coaching
Performance Coaching
Performance coaching aims to enhance the performance of an individual, team, project or organization, especially to establish and achieve desired goals, whether they be goals for individual, team, project or organizational development. The very popular business coaching is usually a form of performance coaching. Performance coaches are often -- but not exclusively -- hired by organizations, rather than by individuals.

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.

Some Common Types of Coaching and Virtual Coaching
There are numerous types of coaching and the number seems to increase with each type of work, interest or challenge that people experience. In this section are some of the most common types. For example, there's business coaches, creativity coaches, career coaches, executive coaches, health and wellness coaches, financial coaches, life coaches, leadership coaches, marketing coaches, relationship coaches, sales coaches, small business coaches, spiritual coaches, team coaches, work-life coaches ... and the list goes on and on. Coaching is so popular, and there are so many types of coaching, and the rate of those entering coaching is so high -- that there's a growing industry in training coaches and getting business for coaches. Here's an overview of a few of the most common types of coaches.
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.

Some Examples of Coaching Models
A coaching model is a framework that concisely depicts the concepts and approach of the approach to coaching. There are many models, and it's best for a coach to know more than one. Here are some examples. The purpose of this listing is not to suggest which models are best, but rather to give the reader a sense of what a coaching model is. (Some people refer to "methods," rather than models.)
