Coaching is fast becoming an important tool for team development that can help unlock the potential of your team. By providing coaching, you can increase motivation, improve performance, and enhance communication within your team. Having the ability and the skills to coach is thus a valuable asset to develop for yourself. Coaching is a form of development in which a coach works with an individual or team to improve their performance and achieve their goals. Coaching is not about telling people what to do, but rather guiding them to discover their own solutions and strategies. But how to coach effectively?
