ABSTRACT

In a sense, the coaching relationship is a strange topic to bring up because, as Medard Boss said earlier, we already and always have a relationship with everyone and everything we encounter, whether we are aware of it or not. Consequently, it’s always the case that we do have a relationship with our potential client. The question remains, however, what is the nature of that relationship? Is it sturdy enough to sustain itself during the sometimes tumultuous events of coaching, and does it have the necessary qualities to allow the coaching to readily succeed?
