Coaching can be described as “help to help yourself” for
all those stuck in problematic situations at work and in their private
lives. It is a clearly goal and solution oriented method of consulting.
It is intended to aid all those people and teams who wish to enhance
their ability to find satisfactory solutions to problems of all kinds
and gain different points of view. Experience has shown that people
and/or teams that require coaching often know the solution to their
problem, but for some reasons are unable to access it. This is when
coaching is required. Coaching is all about doing something different
or unusual – something that differs distinctly from what has
been done so far. Coaching is a very efficient method of obtaining
new insights, finding new solutions, mobilising new ideas and resources
and thus finding goals and solutions for the future which are for
the good of all involved. Paramount are questions, questions which
aim at generating own solutions. A coach never presents solutions
to his or her clients. He or she merely supports them in finding their
own solutions and reaching their own goals.
