performance coaching
Professional growth guidance
Performance coaching is a professional relationship focused on improving someone's effectiveness in a specific role or skill area.
Unlike therapy, which explores personal history, performance coaching targets measurable outcomes: Her performance coaching helped the executive become a better public speaker.
Common in business, athletics, and the arts, it typically involves goal-setting, feedback, and accountability.
The coach observes, questions, and challenges—but the client does the work.
