The Role of Coaching in Professional Development
The only way to move from Poor to Average, Average to Good, Good to Great, or Poor to Great will be through the process of coaching. Most of the big companies have already realized this. However, there is much to be desired at the execution level. In some companies, the onus of coaching lies with managers. In others, it is with the HR Partners, or perhaps both managers and HR Partners in other companies. Coaching is most effective when the coach has no prior information or knowledge about the coachee. Coaching should not be viewed as a stigma or as "residual." It helps an individual discover the hidden power within themselves. Instead of dissecting the past, coaching is forward-looking—the coachee, with the help of a coach, will map out a future game plan.
Coaching vs. Other Supportive Roles
Coaching is not the same as psychotherapy, counseling, mentoring, consulting, etc. To elaborate: In therapy, the focus is on past events and feelings. However, in coaching, the approach is goal-oriented and focuses on the future. In therapy, the therapist explores the root of the problem; however, coaching focuses on problem-solving.

Coaching is a process (not a tool) that enables one to attain one's goals. S.M.A.R.T. Goals
S.M.A.R.T. is an acronym for the five goal-setting exercises. Your goals should be:
- S - Specific
- M - Measurable
- A - Achievable
- R - Relevant
- T - Time-based
Coaching is best done by a professional who knows the art and science of coaching. For your personal coaching, you can use the G.R.O.W. model. Google it—you will find some material. Also, on YouTube, you can search for coaching questions. You can refer to the link on the right side of this page - Coaching for Personal Best Performance.ppt. All the best.
