Coaching is a process of learning that can lead to better professional and personal performance in which individuals can set clear and achievable objectives, take on responsibilities, reveal hidden talents and put them to good use. The individual being coached is a champion and the coach, as his or her personal trainer, is there to give encouragement.

The coach is the partner in success, encouraging the client individual to set objectives, following the SMARTEC mnemonic (Specific, Measurable, Accessible, Realistic, Time-bound, whilst respecting the “ecology” of the person and within his Control)and helping the individual to have no fear of change. The coach unleashes talent, pushing “champions” to surpass themselves, to achieve performances that respect their own ecology, in terms of their professional and personal and family environment. In this way coaches are also able to increase their own confidence in themselves.

The relationship is that of equals working together. The coach uses techniques for questioning and makes observations that push their clients to structure their thoughts and transform such thoughts into objectives as part of an action plan.

The principle is the same for a team where the members generate creativity by getting the best from each member of the group, using a systematic approach. The return on investment in the course is immediate and practical. The company benefits from more motivated colleagues because they are themselves more involved in the change process.

The relationship is bipartite in terms of coach and client, or tripartite in terms of an HRM department member or Training manager, client or team being coached, and the coach. In a tripartite relationship the coach with the manager establishes the structure (place, frequency, duration). In a direct or bipartite relationship, the coach works with the client to set up the structure. However the individual client being coached is the one who fixes the objectives for each session, who makes his or her own decisions and determines his or her individual plan. Obviously, the content of these sessions is confidential.

The coaches who are part of the Media 4 network respect the ethical principles formulated by the International Coach Federation (ICF). Media 4 coaches are ICF-accredited.
