Coaching has been established as a valuable continuing development tool in organizations for many years. Multiple studies of the effectiveness of coaching evidence the growing demand for coaching. However, the quality of the individual service frequently does not meet the original expectations. One essential reason for this discrepancy seems to be a rather vague understanding of what coaching is.
Upon closer examination, you will find that coaching providers, coaching concepts, and internal pools of coaches in organizations refer to just about any type of “one-to-one” support of individual persons as coaching. The spectrum of services often covers training, therapy sessions, supervision initiatives and, frequently, also traditional consultation conversations.
In light of this market development, calls for quality assurance measures for coaching are becoming increasingly louder. In many application areas, it seems to be time to take a closer look at coaching and place coaching as an established tool under scrutiny.
