What Coaching Is
There are many definitions of coaching...

 

The YC Change approach is simply “helping someone to move from where they are now, to where they want to be”.  Coaching is about taking hold of your dreams and turning it into a reality – Your dreams and Your reality – not anyone else's.

You need to be clear what it is that you want and coaching will help you identify YOUR way to move yourself forward.  I love the phrase “A wish list remains a wish list if there is no action.”

Coaching is nothing new – it has been around for a long long time BUT we are starting to hear more and more about ‘life coaches', just as we are hearing more about ‘personal trainers'.  We are finding out that our bosses employ a ‘coach' in the workplace; indeed many organisations actually run a ‘coaching programme' alongside their training plans.
