The Art of Training...
An important aspect of coaching is the skillful questioning and exchange of information between those with more experience and those with less experience, so as to encourage people to rise to their potential. It is concerned with ensuring that employees are equipped with the skills, understanding, knowledge, and motivation to succeed. This is directly connected to change in the sense that it seeks to shift an employee’s perspective, confidence level, skill, motivation, or attitude. Coaching can be applied in many areas of life, including life coaching, sports coaching, health coaching, financial coaching, and career coaching.
