The coaching journey

The coaching journey is the developmental line that extends across the whole process, beyond the individual sessions. A coaching relationship is not the sum of independent meetings but a whole that advances by accumulation; a subject opened in one session may return weeks later in another form. This journey does not proceed in a straight line; it contains leaps forward, pauses, and occasional returns. Keeping this larger picture in mind, the coach makes visible where the client has come from and where they have arrived. Looking at the journey as a whole reveals a progress that lies beyond any single session.
