WHAT IS COACHING?
“Professional coaching is based on a partnership with clients in a process of reflective and creative accompaniment that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential”.
International Coach Federation – Spain
Therefore, coaching consists of a series of conversations in which the coach works with the coachee (client), so that he or she finds his or her own answers during the process, through powerful questions that lead to new perspectives. The relationship with the coachee (client) is based on full trust and in an atmosphere of confidentiality that will allow the sessions to develop.
Currently, there are many people with diverse backgrounds who define themselves as Coaches. An effective way to know if you are in front of a professional coach is to check if he/she has been trained and has the credentials of the I.C.F. (International Coaching Federation). If you do this, you ensure that your coach has developed excellent coaching skills and applies the code of ethics in every session with you. The code includes key points: confidentiality, respect, equality. Also ICF describes what are the essential competencies that the coach has to develop to achieve effective coaching sessions and what is the limit of what should be worked on in coaching, describing what is for coaching and what is not.

Team coaching can be the answer to improving your team’s dynamics and performance. If you experience challenges such as lack of goal alignment, communication problems, low motivation or interpersonal conflict, coaching can help team members better understand their roles, improve communication and collaboration, set clear goals and develop effective strategies to overcome challenges and improve performance. In addition, coaching can be useful in situations of leadership change or transition. Invest in team coaching to maximize your team’s potential and take it to the next level.
In addition to improving team dynamics and performance, team coaching can improve the culture and work climate of the organization. By improving communication, collaboration and respect among team members, a more positive and productive work environment can be created. This can increase employee morale and motivation, reduce turnover and improve talent retention. In addition, team coaching can help identify and address underlying issues in the organization, such as lack of diversity and inclusion, thus improving creativity, innovation and efficiency in the company.
