To ME, Coaching is a professional mix of sensible attitudes, in-depth knowledge and functional tools to solve problems and achieve goals.
Coaching forms the basic attitude at KAOS. I don't see myself as a consultant bringing in solutions from outside. I am a sparring partner who supports people in recognizing their resources and unleashing their potential. Often (but not always) I coach alongside organisational change processes.
The original meaning of the word "coach" is "coachman" - who has the task of bringing others to their desired destination faster, more comfortably and more safely. It is important to note that the coach does not define the destination. This is the responsibility of the "passengers", i.e. the coachees and customers. The local coachwoman points out stumbling blocks in the process and, if desired, makes suggestions for sensible "detours".
