(3B) Coaching

Coaching is a reflective social process that centres and empowers the coachee to evaluate their own ideas and options, to make meaningful progress, of their own volition.

This is my definition of coaching, that I have developed by engaging with literature and practicing the craft. 💖😌 It's not a complete definition because there are so many aspects to coaching... which I need to link to, really.
