Coaching is probably one of the most—if not the most—individually tailored practices in talent development as it involves a close and confidential relationship between the coach and the person being coached. Meeting with managers or leaders within an organization, the executive coach provides a safe, structured, and trustworthy environment in which to offer support for the individual. The coach also helps the delegate understand their current competencies, see how they’re perceived by others, and focus on clarifying current goals as well as the appropriate action steps to reach these goals.
