1) Description of Coaching
Coaching is a collaborative partnership between the Coach and Client. It is a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires clients to maximize their personal and professional potential. Coaching is distinct from medical or mental health services, including counseling, psychotherapy, or diagnosis of any medical conditions.
