The Coaching Relationship

The coaching relationship is a professional partnership where a coach supports an individual—called the client—in achieving personal or professional goals. Through trust and open communication, the coach helps the client clarify their objectives, identify strengths and challenges, and develop actionable strategies. It’s a collaborative process focused on the client’s growth, self-discovery, and motivation, often involving regular meetings and feedback. The coach does not give direct solutions but fosters the client’s own insights and progress, creating a safe space for honest exploration and sustainable improvement.
