"Professional coaches provide an ongoing
partnership designed to help clients produce fulfilling results in their personal and
professional lives. Coaches help people improve their performances and enhance the
quality of their lives.
Coaches are trained to listen, to observe, and to customize their approach to
individual client needs. They seek to elicit solutions and strategies from the client;
they believe the client is naturally creative and resourceful. The coach's job is to
provide support to enhance the skills, resources, and creativity that the client
already has."
