7 Summary

By now, you should have a better idea of the wide range of approaches that coaches use with their clients. You’ve sampled some of the tools and techniques that accompany them and you’ve considered how you might apply that knowledge to choosing the right coach for you. You’ve also looked briefly at what is involved in becoming a coach.

You should now be able to:

  • recognise some key coaching approaches and practices
  • identify the right coach for you
  • understand the process of becoming a coach.
