Coaching draws from a wide variety of disciplines; namely sociology, philosophy and psychology. It is a fairly new profession that is centered on assisting individuals with self-improvement, empowerment and fulfillment in their personal and professional lives. Coaching is based on the concept that it is the client, not the coach, who has the answers to their personal challenges. Coaching is therefore a relationship of equality between client and coach. Coaches are trained to assist individuals in achieving their personal success through listening, observing, challenging and questioning.
