Coaching is more than a buzz word!
It is an important part of the business world and is a key element of what we also do in toastmasters. So I would like to share with you some key points about coaching over the week and would also welcome feedback.
Coaching is a management behavior that sits at the opposite end of the spectrum to command and control - there are no quick fixes here so good coaching is a skill/art that requires a depth of understanding and plenty of practice if it is to deliver its astonishing potential.
A great coach will rarely provide or prescribe solutions - business need to consult a fresh mind, someone who brings no investment or position of his own, an outsider who is not involved with the organization or its culture. An independent coach can reflect ideas, evoke solutions and support their implementation in a way that few insiders could ever do.
