There are as many definitions of coaching as there are "coaches". Our discussion of coaching-related issues will however be based on the the specific methodology of Management by Coaching (MPC). This approach provides managers with the tools they need to gain an overall vision of their role, project, partners and customers. At the same time, it empowers them to take a step back so as to further adapt their soft and hard skills to new challenges, share their vision with their team - and inspire them.
The aim of the MPC approach is to empower managers to lead their projects in the most relevant and efficient way possible, while acknowledging the importance of their personal well-being. Hence the incorporation into the approach of the notion of work-life balance. The MPC™ methodology ambitions to contribute to the successful management of organizational change, by allowing managers to act simultaneously as project leaders and coaches.
