What is Coaching?
Coaching
Coaching is a development process whereby an experienced individual, the coach, provides guidance and support to a less experienced person, the coachee.
It focuses on enhancing coaching skills, performance, and personal growth through feedback, goal setting, and tailored strategies.
Effective coaching helps employees unlock their potential, improve their performance, and achieve their career objectives.
By building a supportive and constructive relationship, coaching can lead to significant improvements in confidence, motivation, and overall job satisfaction.
