Overview of Coaching
In general, coaching is the process of helping
people and teams to perform at the peak of their
abilities. It involves drawing out peoples
strengths, helping them to bypass personal
barriers and limits in order to achieve their
personal best, and facilitating them to function
more effectively as members of a team. Coaching
emphasizes generative change, concentrating on
defining and achieving specific goals. Coaching
methodologies are outcome-oriented rather than
problem-oriented.

Origins of Coaching
The term coach comes from the Middle English
word coche, which meant a wagon or carriage. In
fact, the word still carries this meaning
todaysuch as when a person travels coach on a
railway or airline. A coach is literally a
vehicle which carries a person or group of people
from some starting location to a desired
location. Thus, historically, coaching has
typically focused on achieving improvement with
respect to a specific behavioral performance.

Capital C Coaching
Since the 1980s, the notion of coaching has taken
on a more generalized and expanded meaning.
Personal coaching, executive coaching and life
coaching provide support on a number of different
levels behaviors, capabilities, beliefs, values
and even identity. These new and more general
forms of coaching can be referred to as Capital
C Coaching.

Small c and Large C Coaching
Small c coaching is more focused at a
behavioral level, referring to the process of
helping another person to achieve or improve a
particular behavioral performance. Large C
Coaching involves helping people effectively
achieve outcomes on a range of levels. It
emphasizes generative change, concentrating on
strengthening identity and values, and bringing
dreams and goals into reality. This encompasses
the skills of small c coaching, but also
includes much more.

Sponsorship
Sponsorship is the process of recognizing and
acknowledging (seeing and blessing) the essence
or identity of another person. Sponsorship
involves awakening and safeguarding potential
within others. It results from the commitment to
the promotion of something that is already within
a person or group, but which is not being
manifested to its fullest capacity.

Sponsorship Messages

• You exist. I see you.
• You are valuable.
• You are important/special/unique.
• You belong here.
• You have something to contribute.

Active Centering

• 1. Identify and associate yourself into a
  challenging context in which it is difficult for
  you to stay centered and resourceful.
• 2. Step out of the experience and enter a
  centered state.
• 3. Invite your partner to gently begin to
  physically push you in different directions, from
  different angles, while you practice maintaining
  the centered state. As you become more
  comfortable and confident with your ability to
  remain centered, invite your partner to make it
  more challenging by pushing or pulling a little
  harder.
• 4. When you are ready, anchor this state and step
  back into the challenging situation. Notice how
  it is different.
