specific concerns and opportunities that are central to
agreed-upon coaching goals,
- Engages the client to explore alternative ideas and

- Promotes active experimentation and self-discovery, where
the client applies what has been discussed and learned during
sessions immediately afterwards in his/her work or life setting,
- Celebrates client successes and capabilities for future
growth,
- Challenges client's assumptions and perspectives to provoke
new ideas and find new possibilities for action,
- Advocates or brings forward points of view that are

comfortable pace of learning.
NOTE: Each competency listed has a definition and
related behaviors. Behaviors are classified as either those that should
always be present and visible in any coaching interaction (in regular font),
or those that are called for in certain coaching situations and, therefore,
not always visible in any one coaching interaction (in italics).
