What is coaching?

by | Aug 15, 2025 | Blog

I once asked my followers for their definition of the word “coaching”.

Here are some of the answers that I got back:

  • “Working with a person to optimize their outcome from a specific experience”
  • “Coaching moves a person from a victim/follower mindset to a creator/leader mindset”
  • “Coaching facilitates insight”
  • “Coaching is like having a personal trainer for your mind”
  • “Coaching is holding the space for the client to get messy, get vulnerable, and ultimately step into their own greatness”
  • “Coaching is a solution-based process whereby the coach facilitates performance enhancement and also possible skill development while acknowledging the client is the expert in their own life” (I’m not kidding about this one – although this particular coach did tell me that she usually ends up going with “I help people own their sht so they can achieve shit!”) Wikipedia isn’t much help:
  • “A form of development in which a person called a ‘coach’ supports a learner or client in achieving in specific personal or professional goal by providing training and guidance. The learner is sometimes called a ‘coachee’”.

If 100 coaches were asked for a definition of the word, 100 different answers would be given (or at least 95)

My definition of coaching is simple:

It’s helping someone get from Point A to Point B.
