What is coaching and how does it work?

A 2-minute video from International Coaching Federation (ICF) explaining, what is coaching,  how coaching works and what are the expected benefits.  I strongly suggest you watch this video if you are considering coaching for yourself or your team.

Richard Boyatzis, professor at Case Western Reserve University, says that every professional can benefit from having a coach, and serving as one for someone else. He says that a coaching relationship moves beyond mentoring or sponsoring in that it focuses on long-term values and aspirations. The best coaches encourage a positive mindset and ask probing questions to help people make the best choices, not only in their careers but also in their personal lives.

The International Coaching Federation (ICF) has compiled a series of powerful stories of ordinary people who, because of coaching, were able to overcome obstacles and achieve extraordinary things.  Enjoy he video and see for yourself what is possible.
