What happens during the coaching process?

Coach and coachee work together to articulate and define the goals for the engagement In some cases, the coachee comes to the session with goals and in other cases, the coahee has only a general idea of what he or she wants to achieve.
Together, we work out a clear articulation of those goals and a plan on how best to achieve them
During the coaching process, you may be asked to describe situations in which those goals were enhanced or thwarted so that we have realistic scenarios in which to play out different steps that could be taken in the future
Discussions of differences or challenges in self-perception and perceptions of others
Encouraged to experiment with new ways to achieve goals or approach challenges
