| What is coaching? |

| Coaching
is one way of creating positively directed change, or learning,
which helps individuals to develop their potential and the organisation
to develop sustainability in an increasingly complex and fast
paced world.
Coaching
is a structured process over a finite period of time
that is evidence based and psychologically grounded
whereby one individual helps another to perform, learn
and achieve at a superior level through:
- Increasing their sense of self-responsibility and
ownership of their performance
- Unlocking the individual's natural ability
- Increasing their awareness of the factors which
determine their performance
- Assisting the individuals to identify and remove
internal barriers to achievement
- Enabling the individual top self-coach
Coaching is not
- Therapy or counseling
- Coaching is not about unravelling 'personal' problems.
It is about guiding individuals who are functioning
or performing very well towards even better performance.
- counseling provides clients opportunity to ventilate
and raise their issues. It is more client directed
and the therapist responds to the client and teaches
strategies and/or different perspectives as relevant
to the issues discussed. counseling can go on for
an indefinite time and clients can keep extending.
- Mentoring, consulting, training
- Coaching is not about imparting expert knowledge
in a particular field. It is about guiding individuals
in self-directed learning and development. The coach
may not have specific expertise in the area of influence
of the person, but they are able to assist the individual
to maximising their influence.
- Just a conversation
- Coaching is a structured conversation, drawing upon
established psychological principles, designed to
guide individuals towards considered action. This
planned action aims to generate greater sustainable
personal and professional performance.

| Performance-Based-Coaching
(PBC) |
| |
| Individual one-on-one performance
based coaching (PBC) has been identified as the best approach
for individuals to enhance their emotional intelligence
and interpersonal skills. Experience alone does not necessarily
ensure accurate learning or development; in this way coaching
is critical to behavioural change. Coaching can provide
individuals with an opportunity to think differently about
the way they conduct themselves within their organisation,
identify themes and patterns in what they do that are
habitual or self-limiting, and to challenge and question
assumptions about what they suppose works for them and
to recognise what doesn't.
Performance Based Coaching makes use of evidence-based
indicators to help improve an individual's emotional
intelligence, emotional knowledge, and interpersonal
skills. PBC follows a proven model for behavioural change.
It involves an evidence-based outcome focused coaching
approach, combining:-
- Assessment of emotional intelligence abilities and
competencies known to underlie and contribute to emotional
knowledge and interpersonal skills; and
- Skill development via cognitive-behavioural restructuring
utilising activities that can be tailored to the specific
needs of the individual.
