Coaching is the act of building capacity in an individual to achieve short and long term goals through a supportive professional relationship. According to research done to date, coaching is a powerful tool for people to reach their goals, increase their self-confidence, and improve their performance in their personal and professional lives (Hurd, 2002; International Coach Federation, 2005; Manchester, 2004).

Coaching offers clients a way to learn and grow in a positive and supportive environment. It provides an opportunity to create a vision for life and helps create a roadmap to achieve it. It exist primarily as a process-tool to help people get to where they want in any part of their life including such areas as personal, career, education, relationships, finances, health and spiritual goals. (Dutton, 1997; Witherspoon & White, 1996).

The philosophy of coaching is holistic and focuses on the personal growth and development of the client through various tools and regularly scheduled conversations.
