The term Coaching is designated as that method that consists of directing, instructing and training a person or a group of individuals with the certain and clear objective that the same or they can effectively develop specific skills that tend to exploit the best of themselves. Because above all, coaching, what is proposed is that the person can achieve the objectives that are proposed with the training they carry out and that the way to do it and achieve it is through the use of their own resources and skills, always arranging them in such a way that effectiveness is the result to be obtained.
The origin of its name, coaching, is found in the English term coach, which means to train.
Coaching is basically a process that starts from the premise that it will be the coachee (who receives the coaching) who actually has the best information and skills to solve the situations that must be faced in the environment or field in which he works. , because here there will not be a little plum teacher demanding and setting the pace, but what the coach will do is make it easier for his coachee to learn to learn from himself, to recognize all that immense potential that he has inside and that he does not see .
As I said, coaching is simply a process and as such consists of six fundamental steps: observation, which will allow you a global knowledge of all the options that are presented in order to achieve a choice that contributes to the search for results; awareness, at this level, the coach will bring the coachee closer to the consequences that the choices he is making may cause and will guide him in what will be the best choice; determination of objectives; sustained performance over time; measurement of the results that are obtained, if they are close to those proposed or not; committed action, because every coaching process must end with a committed action aligned with the plan.
There are many methods, meanwhile, among the main techniques that this sophisticated process of teaching and achievement of objectives uses, we can highlight motivational talks, workshops, seminars and supervised practices.
In recent years, this type of process has been put into practice a lot, especially in areas such as business and sports, and although in both contexts it has paid off very well, coaching also has a significant number of detractors. Among other things, they point out that this process lacks a specific methodology, mainly because of the training that many coaches present. Also, it is pointed out as a process that is exclusively oriented to obtaining results, no matter how, but only the success that is obtained.
