ABSTRACT
Most of this book explores ways in which the coach can help the coachee to achieve insight, to grow and to progress in their work, career or wider life. In this chapter, we switch attention to the coach. From our observations of hundreds of coaches in action, we observe that effective coaching requires the coach to be able to recognise how they may be influencing the coachee in often subtle ways. We now consider how the coach can actively moderate their impact as role model by offering approaches to monitor and evaluate their own needs and well-being.
