People are often confused about the word “coaching” because it has different meanings in different workplaces. Some see it simply as on-the-job training, others see it as advice given by a mentor and some define it as counseling or providing encouragement to perform better. For others, it implies disciplining an employee who is performing poorly.

Coaches in the sporting world have fine-tuned their coaching skills to ensure their athletes win, set records or at least achieve their best results. In the same way athletic coaches help their teams to achieve performance excellence, workplace coaches need to help their team members reach their potential and be the best they can be. Coaching improves communication, morale and performance, and helps to build empowered teams.
These days every employee is a coach! Every employee in every job needs to be able to coach others to achieve better job performance, improved handling of customers and effective communication.
