Coaching is a development intervention built upon the philosophy that clients and learners are resourceful and that through questioning, reflection and action planning meaningful development and personal learning can ensue. Results-driven coaching is relevant to those in business and organisations as the focus is very much upon performance, results improvement, and productivity, thereby hopefully aligning individual learning needs with the specific context and requirements of the organisation. One can use the techniques applied to the self or others; for example, those we may supervise or manage and co-workers in self-managed teams.
