Coaching is about collaboration – A coach and a client work together to enable the client to achieve their goals, dreams and desires. It is often confused with counselling or therapy, but coaching is about the here and now and where the client wants to be.
To quote Lewis Carroll in his book, ‘Alice in Wonderland’, Alice asks the Cheshire Cat:
‘What road do I take?’
‘Well, where are you going?’
‘I don’t know’
‘Then it does not matter. If you do not know where you are going then any road will get you there’.
