Personal Coaching
Personal coaches work with a wide range of individuals on a host of inter or intrapersonal issues ranging form coping with a crisis, focusing energy productively, making successful transitions, living a happier and more fulfilled life, and more. The client may or may not be connected with a business and their career may or may not have anything to do with the focus of the coaching. Personal Coaching can be divided into two categories: Life Coaching - when an individual client retains the coach him/herself - and Executive Coaching, when an organisation employing the client retains the coach.
Executive Coaching
This is when a company retains professional coach to coach one or several employees individually because the employer feels there are issues which need to be addressed. The focus lies on job or work related issues, although logically a client's private or personal life always plays some role in the coaching. Most often, the coaching occurs in the workplace and the coach maintains some interface with the employer,even though the content of the coaching remains completely confidential.
Business coaches work with business professionals on issues that include such as leadership, development, increasing employee motivation, organizational strategy, overcoming sales and marketing challenges, effective communication skills, team building and more.
