Corporate Coach
How would you describe coaching?
I like the Chinese medicine metaphor. Chinese medicine puts emphasis on:
• treating both symptoms and the root cause
• strengthening the person’s immune system
• proactive measures rather than the reactive ones
• looking at the total system (holistic) rather than individual organs
My beliefs about coaching are the same. They include:
• exploring with coachee both his/her behavior signs and the value/belief that drives them
• empowering the coachee so that the coachee has the strength to take the next step/leap
• focusing on coachees’ potential rather than problem-fixing/fire-fighting
• looking at both the coachee as an individual and his/her systemic elements (e.g. the coachee is a leader/manager of a corporate and thus his/her situation is affected by elements such as corporate culture, business strategies and directions, inter-departmental relationships.)
