 Current context


Coaching is a personalized approach to assist and guide people in acquiring or developing specific competencies. The coach adjusts the training methods and the activities according to the specific needs of a person or a team so that they can:

  • Acquire knowledge
  • Develop skills and behaviors
  • Improve reflexes related to work

Most of the time, organizations will promote and utilize this approach for selected people or teams having specific needs in specialized fields. For example:

a. People: feedback on their leadership style, increase their ability to plan, manage their priorities, work on HR issues with some team members, increase their skills in problem solving…

b. Team: understand the dynamics of their team, increase team productivity, increase effiectiveness in team problem solving…

 Our perspective


The “coaching concept” is often used with different meaning as well as a different mindset. We believe that we should distinguish 3 types of coaches.

  1. The first coach has already a field of expertise and has been granted a recognized certification in  “Coaching”. Such certification recognizes graduates for acquiring and developing specific competencies required to assist and guide people in their development.

  2. The second type is a coach, whom during his career, has acquired competencies in coaching and uses a structured and proven approach to help people in his fields of expertise.

  3. The third type is a manager, with no specific training on this topic; although, the nature of his position requires that he adopts the attitude and the approach of a “coach”.

Obviously the competencies of these coaches are different. Beyond the type of coaches, we believe that in any case of figure, the following key factors are mandatory for successful coaching:

a. Commit to help people and to make them progress;

b. Demonstrate empathy to understand the person and to adjust to his/her needs;

c. Be positive at recognizing the strengths and the progress of the trainee;

d. Demonstrate respect…
