What is coaching?

Coaching focuses on helping individuals or groups gain insight into what they want and what holds them back from achieving their potential. Coaching empowers people to set goals, learn to do things differently and achieve their aims while building self-management, leadership, communication and critical thinking skills. It is about both personal and professional development.
