Leaders, managers, professionals and individuals engage coaches to advance their careers and enhance their personal lives. But what is coaching exactly?
The International Coaching Federation (ICF) defines coaching as partnering in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires a person to maximize their personal and professional potential. The process of coaching often unlocks previously untapped sources of imagination, productivity and leadership. When you work with a coach, you set out on a path to greater personal and professional fulfillment.
Personally, I like to think of coaching as having a personal trainer but for your professional & personal development rather than your physical health.
