Coaching

Coaching is a question-based development process that accompanies a client in finding their own answers. The International Coaching Federation (ICF) defines coaching as partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. A coach does not give advice, does not diagnose, and does not share their own experience; instead, they listen closely, ask the right question, and make visible the knowledge the client already carries. Coaching is a framework applied across many domains — career, leadership, life, relationships, entrepreneurship — rather than a single specialty. It differs from therapy in that it focuses on today's and tomorrow's choices rather than treating the past; it differs from mentoring in that a mentor shares their own experience and advice, while a coach stays within questions.
