Interactive coaching premises apply to all:
1) Each of us has major resources that we never use - both physical and mental. 2) Everyone can use help from others to perform at their best. 3) Goal setting and planning almost always lead to better results, although the results are not always those that were expected. 4) The path taken is often worth more than the destination. |
Interactive Coaching is about helping/supporting individuals in setting goals, planning, evaluating activities and in other ways helping them shape their lives in a manner consistent with each individual's own goals and values.
The methods of Interactive Coaching for helping individuals find/set their goals and values usually include probing questions, guided in part by theory, but mostly by coaching experience with other people and their achievements.
Most success in all areas is a result of education, training and planning. An important question often concerns identifying which qualities to train and how to train them.
A good development program should be personal and flexible. There are many books and magazines that give good basic programs for different categories of people. The best books, however, explain that most individuals should make changes to these basic programs, so that they better apply to the individual
