coachee
One receiving guidance
A coachee is a person receiving coaching—the counterpart to the coach.
The term appears in corporate and professional development contexts: The coachee sets the agenda for each session.
It's jargon, formed by analogy with trainee or mentee, and rarely appears outside business settings.
