We define coaching as a form of counseling...
- that is directed towards the resolution of problems and conflicts
- that can be adapted to concrete situations
- that is in accordance with each individual's natural disposition
- that brings about changes in previously fixed patterns of thought and behavior
- that helps clients identify possible goals for further self-development and change
- that helps clients help themselves
- that focuses on specific problem areas and is limited to a certain time period
Goals that can be pursued in co-operation with a coach or counselor include:
- awakening and strengthening the ability to make meaningful decisions and to act according to one's goals even in difficult and stressful situations
- increasing one's communication skills
- learning to recognize and critically reflect on one's own conduct and point of view

- developing new concepts of behavior
