Coaching is a term often heard in the workplace, but frequently misunderstood.
Coaching isn’t mentoring, and it’s not ‘covert’ performance management. Coaching, when used properly, is a powerful tool for helping employees realise their full potential.
Lisa Croxford spoke with The HR Leader about her experience as a coach, explaining how coaching can be used to help employees and leaders grow.

Coaching differs from training in that it frequently focuses on a narrower range of abilities or jobs. This might be done as a part of personnel upskilling or performance management. Both internal trainers and outside coaches may carry out this task. Coaching occasionally includes assessments and performance feedback.
