What is Coaching?
The term “Coach” has its origins in sports, where a coach is dedicated to helping players unlock their full potential, overcome challenges, and bring their best performance and true capabilities to the forefront.
The Inner Game of Coaching
Coaching is unlocking a person’s potential to maximise their own performance. It is helping them to learn rather than teaching them.

One of the simplest ways to understand Coaching is through Timothy Gallwey’s formula:
Performance = Potential – Interference.
Coaching in Action
Coaching is essentially about bringing out the best in another. It is about supporting and empowering someone to achieve a goal that they really want.
