CTI coaching holds that people are naturally creative, resourceful and whole - completely capable of finding their own answers to whatever challenges they face. The job of a Co-Active Coach® is to ask powerful questions, listen and empower to elicit the skills and creativity a client already possesses, rather than instruct or advise.
The coaching relies on the equality and quality of the relationship between the coach and client. The client has their own solutions. The coach facilitates the process that reveals the clients knowledge and creativity to themselves. The best way this happens can be described as in an Ah ha moment.
