What is coaching?

Coaching is a structured process in which a coach supports individuals through questions, guidance, and various techniques to achieve their goals, improve personal effectiveness, and increase self-awareness and recognition of their potential.

Key characteristics of coaching:

• Future-oriented: Focuses not on the past, but on goal achievement and further development.
• Solution-focused: The process emphasizes identifying possibilities and shaping concrete next steps.
• Activation of inner resources: Coaching encourages recognizing and effectively using inner strengths, competencies, and opportunities.
• Question-based: Through targeted questions, it promotes reflection and independent solution-building.
• Partnership-based: The client is an equal partner, while the coach guides the structure and flow of the conversation.
• Responsibility lies with the client: The process encourages the client to take active responsibility for decisions and implementation.

What coaching is not:

• it is not psychotherapy or trauma treatment,
• it is not counseling,
• it is not mentoring,
• it is not a motivational speech.
