What is Coaching?
I am often asked the question, "What is personal or business coaching?", or "How does coaching differ from Counselling, Mentoring, Therapy and Training?", so here is the definition of Coaching, compared to the definitions of Mentoring, Therapy, Counselling and Training.
| Personal and Business Coaching: | Facilitating change indirectly through working with your own resources. Time line- present and forward |
| Mentoring: | Advice imparted through similar experience and knowledge. Time line- past, present and future |
| Therapy: | Using techniques to directly effect change with you. |
| Counselling: | Facilitating change through you talking about past experiences. Time line- past |
|
Training |
Imparting knowledge and techniques. |
