What is coaching and why is it important?

Coaching, coaching, coach. These words are coming at us from all sides. What exactly is coaching? Who is a coach? And why should you think about coaching? Is it even for you? I will try to answer all these questions.

What is coaching?

First of all, know that you can't just call yourself a coach because it just occurred to you. Before you can become a coach, you have to complete the appropriate training and get certified. And that's not just a coincidence.

We have professional internationally certified coaches and coaches in the Czech Republic. International Coach Federation Czech RepublicHer definition of coaching is as follows: "Coaching is a trusting relationship that helps the client take concrete steps to achieve their vision, goal, or desire. Coaching uses processes of exploration and self-discovery to build the client's awareness and acceptance of responsibility, which is achieved through greater structure, support, and active feedback. The coaching process helps the client not only define their goals precisely, but also achieve those goals faster and more effectively than if they had not used coaching."

What is the goal of coaching?

So what can coaching help you with? Basically with everythingCoaching can help in areas such as work, personal, sports, and health. Simply in all areas where you don't know what to do.

A coach and coaching should lead you to achieving personal or professional developmentPlease note, coaching is not psychotherapy or counseling.

The coaching process could be compared to a conversation over a game, where the coach helps the player (client) play his own game as best as possible. The goal is to win the game, and that according to the client's own rulesSo we can start from a kind of metaphor that anything in life can be played as a game.

Who is the coach?

Be careful, a coach is not your advisor, lecturer or teacher. They advise and help based on their experience and education, they tell you what and how you have or should do. They will prepare a plan for you, show you solutions. A coach is not your psychologist either. He would focus on your past and its analysis.

The coach should be equal partner, guide or confidantwhich will guide you your own way, which you will find to achieve your goal. The coach does not advise, but guides. He focuses on the client's present and future.

The coach guides you through questions different perspectives on your situation. It will help you realize what is actually what you actually want and what matters to you, and what is not important. A coach will not tell you what and how to do it. But he will support you in finding own resources and the way to achieving your goals and objectives.

A coach strengthens your self-confidence and determination. Develops your personality forward, becoming aware of your needs, dreams, but also your abilities and skills. It will help you change your thinking and self-reflection, will help you gain more self-confidence.
