Coaching

A development approach in which a coach helps an individual improve performance.

Full Definition

Coaching in the workplace is a development technique in which a trained coach — either internal or external — works with an employee on a one-to-one basis to help them identify and achieve specific professional goals. Unlike training (which delivers knowledge) or mentoring (which shares experience), coaching is non-directive and focuses on unlocking the individual's own potential through questioning, reflection, and goal-setting. Executive coaching and manager coaching programmes are proven tools for leadership development.
