The International Coaching Federation describes professional coaching as the process of “partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.” In general, professional coaching can help the individual to define career goals, assist the progress of the individual’s objectives, unlock levels of self-awareness and ultimately enable the individual to reach career goals. The coach is an individual outside of the institution who focuses on your professional growth and development. A coach will help you navigate an ever-changing professional landscape successfully.
