1.2 THE COACHING STYLE
In Personal Coaching, the point of gravity is always the coachee.
Personal Coaching is mainly facilitating:
The coach does not offer advice, ready-made answers or
solutions, but asks questions aimed at encouraging the coachees
to think for themselves and find their own answers, based on
their own values, preferences and unique perspective.
During the process, the coach offers a supportive framework
based on structure, assistance and feedback, aimed at positively
changing the coachee’s behavior, attitudes and convictions.
Coaching is not complete until the coachee has successfully
developed and implemented at leas t one concrete action plan.
Exceptionally, some form of advice may be necessary. The
coach will pose the advice as a question, e.g.: “how do you think
… would work for you?”
