- Provide a safe environment to explore new options and examine the results of current and new behaviors.
The coaching method is an integral approach that encompasses all the aspects of one’s live and practices – work, relationships, physical health and personal philosophy and outlook.
How does Coaching Work?
Coaching is an individually tailored process that focuses on the client’s immediate situation and long-term goals. During the coaching relationship, the client can assess his own strategies and actions with the coach to evaluate and try out new ideas and practices.
