32 Benefits Of Coaching
“Coaching is a collaborative process dedicated to help and inspire an individual or team to achieve a desired result.”
Here are some of the benefits of coaching I have experienced and witnessed both in being coached and in coaching executives.
The coaching process unfolds through discovery, expanded awareness and insight and leads to designing a strategy of action. It is intuitive, energizing, challenging, sometimes painful and always interesting. If it is not stimulating and interesting then the coaching process is not on. Coaching value is generated on the foundation of trust and authentic conversation.
