Coaching can be called different names like personal coaching, life coaching, business coaching, growth coaching, career, corporate coaching, etc. The coaching principles and tools are the similar. The difference is in the purpose of the coaching relationship – whether a person needs coaching for personal benefits, business, or both.

The International Coaching Federation defines coaching as “Professional coaching is an interactive process that helps individuals and organizations improve their performances and achieve extraordinary results. Professional coaches work with clients in all areas including business, career, finances, health and relationships.

Whether a client is an individual, business partners or an organization, a life or business coach will work towards the identifying the “self” (who you are), needs, current situation, goals for the future, and steps how to achieve goals and reach results.
