Coaching is a form of development where a coach supports a learner in achieving personal or professional goals. Coaching sessions involve conversations where the coach helps the coachee discover their own answers and solutions. People are more likely to engage with solutions they come up with themselves rather than ones imposed on them. Coaching differs from mentoring, consulting, training, and psychotherapy in focusing on helping clients set and achieve goals through generating their own solutions with the coach's support.
