It involves regular sessions where you discuss your goals, challenges, and progress, and the coach asks powerful questions, helps you discover insights, and helps you develop actionable strategies.
Coaching typically involves regular sessions (weekly or bi-weekly) where you and your coach work together to identify your goals, develop strategies, and track progress. The coach provides personalized support and challenges you to grow, ensuring you stay accountable and motivated.
For instance, if you're working on a career transition, a coach can help you stay on track with your job search activities, networking efforts, and skill development. This personalized support ensures you remain focused and motivated, ultimately increasing your chances of success.
