The word 'coach' originates from the Hungarian word 'kocsi' (in German "Kutsche") which means a horse-cart. The purpose of such horse-cart is to help passengers to get their destination as fast, as conveniently, and as safely as possible.
We consider this kind of coach a very appropriate metaphor for how we see coaching. The main purpose is to assist our clients in getting to where they want to be in a way that is as fast, as safe, and as effective as possible.
Executive Coaching has proven to be particularly effective because we usually do not advise our coachees what to do but use our coaching mindset, processes, and competencies to assist our clients in finding out what they would need to do differently to get to where they want to be faster and with increased chances.
While sharing their own experiences is an added value coaches may offer, we find that executive coaching is more effective when coachees have full ownership over their solutions and actions, leading to positive transformation and development.
