In other words, together the coach and the client identify the gap between where the client is and where he or she wants to be-and helps them bridge the gap. A coach also helps clients establish a stronger foundation and a balanced life. Without a balanced life, individuals are not able to tap into their potential. Coaches identify hidden behavioral and organizational patterns that prevent collaborative working relationships. Coaches facilitate problem solving.
Coaches offer a fresh perspective on the issues that inhibit collaboration and innovation.
Coaches depersonalize problems and focus on facts. Corporate coaches are independent consultants, free from organizational power, issues and politics and are able to help a team establish more effective ways of working in a shorter time than on their own. Coaches give unconditional support, guidance, and encouragement.
