What is Business Coaching?

There are numerous variations of the term coaching and indeed business coaching and yes, they're pretty much alike. Here at the Business Coaching Foundation, we like to keep things as succinct as possible rather than complicating everything or unnecessarily reinventing the wheel. Keeping that in mind, this is the definition we've chosen to answer the question "What is business coaching?":

A skilled business conversation that enables the person being coached, to come up with their own options to move forward on a business challenge with high commitment.

That said, coaching is a mechanism/technique of transitioning someone from their present state to their desired state (P»D).

However you get from P»D, business coaching can bring unparallel results in terms of ROI. Engaging a business coach will allow you to explore all possible options and boundaries from an independent and objective view point where bureaucracy and politics don't exist. A good coach will ask you the right questions and free your mind of obstructions so you create the winning formula you need.
