Role and mission of the coach

The coach considers its client like its partner. Together they both determine the objective, the frame word, and the expected results. The client remains the sole responsible for his/her own objectives. In this way, he/she is master of content.

The coach is an expert in the coaching process, and stays master of the framework. The role of the coach, as partner demands that he/she be able to be in a position to understand what’s at stake professionally and/or personally for his/her client, without necessarily be an expert in the profession of his/her client. I ask the good questions, and you find your answers.

The role of a coach is to:

· Discover and clarify what the customer wants to accomplish in order to establish a contract (either verbally or written) based on measurable and dates objective, with results.

· Help the client identify what motivates him/her and what are their strategies and competencies

· Demonstrates to the client the range of options available.

· Confront the client on his/her commitments and issues, if that helps him/her.

· Help the client to reveal the range of options available

· Helps the client to produce his/her own solutions and strategies.

The coach pledges liability and warns the client when a dysfunction is noticed. The coach can put an end to the contract if he/she believes that it is not possible to continue the coaching relationship.
