Coaching has attracted the interest of many people, and rightly so. Working with a coach is like having a personal trainer who helps you achieve your goals, both in your personal and professional life.
Coaching: What is coaching?
In the 1970s, people began to realize that the coaching approach used in sports could add value to life in general.
In 1975, Tim Gallwey, a successful American tennis player, wrote his best-selling book The Inner Game of Tennis: The Mind and Body in the Quest for Performance. The book was one of the first to focus not only on physical fitness, but also on “the battle within ourselves as we try to overcome doubt and anxiety.” Gallwey soon became sought after by both businesses and athletes in the United States.
Coaching is a process of self-discovery that helps you become the best version of yourself. It is a way to discover what you really want in life and work and organize a plan of action.
Now, coaching has various specializations, which, although they use similar methodology, have different goals and serve different needs.
What is Life Coaching?
Life coaching focuses on achieving personal goals, such as improving self-confidence, time management, or resolving relationship problems.
What is Business Coaching?
Business coaching focuses on achieving professional goals, such as better targeting in the professional arena, increasing sales, or developing new skills.
Business coaching “borrows” practices from Life coaching, however, with the aim of professional empowerment and success, not solutions to personal problems.

What is Career Coaching?
Career coaching helps people who want to make changes in their career or develop in their current position. Career coaching is a subset of business coaching with a very specific goal setting, the change or development of your career and usually the duration of its sessions is less.
All types of coaching share common practices, methodologies and philosophy. Their essential difference is the type of goal, personal or not, and the duration of the sessions depending on the goal that has been set.
How to choose the right type of coaching for you?

How to find a suitable coach?
It is important to find a coach with whom you feel comfortable and with whom you believe you can build a strong relationship.
It is very important that the coach comes from a changing and intense business environment so that he can “bring” his experience to your sessions.
Also, your coach needs to have the ability to understand what the English say: read between the lines.
That is, they should have heightened emotional intelligence so that they can understand what you and the coach are sharing in the pauses, in the body posture, in the answers, such as “I don’t know…”.
