What is coaching?
Coaching is a targeted development measure in the format of an interactive, personcentered advising and support process with an external coach. The focus is on the professional role or the related current concerns of a person. The coach does not present suggested solutions and instead offers a space for targeted (self-)reflection and provides support using different methods for the development of one’s own work and solution approaches and options for action. Coaching opens a “thinking space” for the client. The coach asks questions which support the client to identify her needs and to find her own solutions. The results are conscious, self-dependent career decisions, which ensure the sustainable satisfaction of the client.
