Objectives

Coaching in a Thinking Environment has one goal: the independent thinking of the client.

This goal sets the Thinking Environment apart from other models that rely heavily (and often subconsciously) on advice and direction from the coach.

The Thinking Environment allows clients truly to think for themselves:

• to go beyond dependence on the coach’s views, guidance, or analysis; and

• to come up with ideas, directions, understanding and solutions for themselves that can be staggeringly accurate, imaginative, and practical.

• to develop confidence in their ability to think for themselves and to understand the limitations that might be stopping them.
