Coaching is drawing out knowledge the client already has,
to bring about change. They work in tandem with a client,
at the client's level of self efficacy to make changes. The
client is in control; they find their own answers; coaches
rarely offer advice. Experts teach, analyze, problems, offer

strategies, teach new skills, and with this lets subtly let
clients off the hook of responsibility -"you aren't in charge."

beauty within. Coaches value the process more than their
own expert knowledge.
B. Relational skill—Coaches bring a beginner's mind,
engage, arouse, energize, and challenge clients to do the
work needed to create desired change. The qualities of
good relational skills are; listening deeply, inquiry, (simple
reflection) but also mindfulness, empathy, authenticity,
affirmation, courage, zest, playfulness, and warmth.
C. Coaching process—There are many. The most
important are the Trans-theoretical model of change, and
to approach clients where they are, not where we as
coaches want them to be. The stages of change are pre-
contemplation, contemplation, preparation, action, and
maintenance. Other systems are Appreciative Inquiry,
