Spending all week observing a basic coaching course has enabled a deep reflection about who and what is a coach. It's worth taking time out to think about whether we are truly present in our clients' world, following their agenda without judgement, presupposition or bias. Do we truly park 'our stuff' and work in a fair, ethical and professional way, with full contracting and boundary definition, full review and evaluation, soliciting feedback and gaining supervision on our practice? Those coaches who take their ego and guru status to their clients are surely consultants or mentors and provide a place of interuption with a very different methodology and state from which a client may move forward.
