Coaching: why?
“Employees are more engaged with their work when they are able to do what they do best.” Buckingham & Coffman 1999: First Break all the Rules
“The art of facilitating the performance, learning and development of another” (Downey, 2003)
“Coaching is …developing … skills and knowledge … job performance improves, … leading to [and achieving] organisational objectives… targets high performance and improvement at work… usually lasts for a short period… focuses on specific skills and goals.” (CIPD 2009)
“….unlocking a person’s potential to maximise their own performance. It’s more often about helping them learn rather than teaching them” John Whitmore
