Coaching is a process where a coach helps individuals or groups discover their goals, overcome obstacles, and create action plans. It focuses on the present and future, guiding people to achieve personal or professional goals like career growth and improved relationships with the self and others.
Unlike mentoring or consulting, coaching doesn’t provide advice or solutions but helps clients find their own answers through listening, questioning, and accountability.
Career Coaching, specifically, helps people figure out careers goals, long and short term, and how to achieve them, often including CV writing and interview preparation as supports for career goals.
