The field of personal and professional coaching has grow substantially over the past 10 years or so. This type of coaching usually involves working in a partnership between coach and clients to provide structure, guidance and support for clients to:
- Take a complete look at their current state, including their assumptions and perceptions about their work, themselves and others;
- Set relevant and realistic goals for themselves, based on their own nature and needs;
- Take relevant and realistic actions toward reaching their goals; and
- Learn by continuing to reflect on their actions and sharing feedback with others along the way.
Coaching can be especially useful to help individuals address complex problems and/or attain significant goals and do so in a highly individualized fashion.
Today, there seems to be much ongoing discussion and debate about the definitions and differences regarding coaching and mentoring. See peer coaching groups and Mentoring.

Peer Coaching Groups
Coaching has proven to be very powerful means to guiding and supporting people
to solve difficult problems and achieve complex goals. It's one of the most
powerful means for people to learn how to learn -- and to be able to learn a
great deal from their own experiences. That's why coaching has become almost
a standard activity in leadership development. Usually it's done in a one-to-one
format. However, that format can be quite expensive and time consuming for organizations
wanting to provide coaching for many of its leaders, managers and individual
contributors. In peer coaching groups, employees not only get coached -- they
learn how to coach, as well. The groups are brought to you by Authenticity Consulting,
LLC -- the same organization that brings this Free Management Library to you.
