The
ICF Philosophy and Definition of Coaching
The International Coach Federation adheres to a form of coaching that honors the client as
the expert in his/her personal and/or professional life and believes that every client is
creative, resourceful, and whole. Standing on this foundation, the coach's responsibility
is to:
1. Discover, clarify, and align with what the client wants to achieve
2. Encourage client self-discovery
3. Elicit client-generated solutions and strategies
4. Hold the client as responsible and accountable
Definition of Coaching
Professional Coaching is an ongoing partnership that helps clients produce fulfilling
results in their personal and professional lives. Through the process of coaching, clients
deepen their learning, improve their performance, and enhance their quality of life.
In each meeting, the client chooses the focus of conversation, while the coach listens and
contributes observations and questions. This interaction creates clarity and moves the
client into action. Coaching accelerates the client's progress by providing greater focus
and awareness of choice. Coaching concentrates on where clients are today and what they
are willing to do to get where they want to be tomorrow
