What is professional coaching?
The International Coach Federation (ICF) defines coaching as partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative  process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional  potential. Coaching honors the client as the expert in his/her life and  work and believes that every client is creative, resourceful, and whole. Standing on this foundation, the coach's responsibility is to:

• Discover, clarify, and align with what the client wants to achieve;
• Encourage client self-discovery;
• Elicit client-generated solutions and strategies; and
• Hold the client responsible and accountable.

Coaches are trained to listen, to observe and to customize their approach to individual client needs. They seek to elicit solutions and strategies  from the client; they believe the client is naturally creative and resourceful. The coach's job is to provide support to enhance the  skills, resources, and creativity that the client already has.

The International Coach Federation publishes a list of frequently asked questions (FAQs) with additional information about professional coaching and the benefits of working with a professionally certified coach.
