Organizing Framework
The coaching process often progresses through five phases: (1) establishing the coaching relationship, (2) gathering feedback, (3) setting goals, (4) progressing toward goals, and (5) transitioning out of the coaching engagement. Figure 10.1 illustrates these phases and the primary objectives of each phase. The frameworks, tools, and techniques will be discussed in terms of these phases. Because these phases are not discrete, and because the coaching objectives that are predominant during each phase carry over into all other phases, it should be noted that tools and techniques discussed as appropriate for use during one phase may also be appropriate for use in other phases of the coaching process.
