  4. What is coaching? “Coaching is principally a joint venture in which one person supports another to develop their understanding and practice in an area defined by their own needs and interests. The coach will help the learner to identify a clear focus upon which to work. They will secure a positive rapport with their colleague, listen intently to their needs and concerns, ask probing questions that help clarify the area for development and ask challenging questions that raise their awareness of the issue in focus. Coaching often involves integrating new or alternative approaches into the professional’s existing repertoire of skills and strategies”
