It is very important that we realize that there is a big difference from personal coaching and giving advice. The former focuses on the client while the latter is biased by the coach’s opinions and beliefs. A good coach never lets his biases get in the way and makes sure that he gives the best possible support to his client.
For a personal coach to succeed in helping his client realize his potential, he must first understand the needs of the client. Empathy is a fundamental concept and the coach must be able to see the world from the eyes of his client. The goal of a coach is to help his clients realize their own solutions, and not to ask them to follow a prescribed to-do list. In this regard, a coach is definitely not an advisor.
