Coaching is less mysterious than it sounds: it is a set of techniques for working out what someone actually wants and what is in the way.
These pages cover the models coaches work from and the techniques they use. They are written plainly enough to use on yourself, and several are worth reading simply for what they explain about why people do what they do.
