What does collaborative coaching mean?
A collaborative coach facilitates someone through a process of enquiry, learning and action. Like any form of coaching, our aim is to help someone towards a desirable outcome, such as help them achieve an objective. For the person being coached, the relationship feels like a partnership of equals, rather than anything parental or advisory.
A collaborative coach believes in the ability of the individual to create ideas, decide for themselves and move their situation forward. They use advanced skills of listening, questioning and reflection to create a highly effective conversation and experience for the individual.
