coaching

What´s a coach?

To me, a coach is someone that has done the path you want to walk and helps you do it better, safer or faster.

Simply.

Interesting. I think in the UK this would be described as mentoring, with a coach not needing to be a subject matter expert, but able to ask insightful questions. I get a sense that the word coach usually implies subject matter expertise in the US. Is that others’ experience?

Thank you Arjan. Chris speaks fondly of you (a quaint turn of phrase perhaps, I’ve been reading  Anne of Green Gables with Annie!).

So, in your view, can a mentor in the US have no direct expertise in the topic being discussed?

Yes, I agree with Jo. 
We tend to focus on the sports usage of the term coach, where experience in the subject matter counts. In terms of business or life, that would be referred to as mentoring, indeed. At least, where I live.

PS: welcome to Farcaster, Jo. Happy to have you here.

Thanks Adrienne, that’s a useful insight. It’s fascinating how words differ in meaning. It can be a challenge in my area of work! I hope GM Farcaster is going well. :)

Interesting and I think you’re on to something. Generally in the US mentor and coach are used similarly, even if they shouldn’t be 

Coaching isnt as universally used, not everyone has the same understanding of it. Mentoring is pretty standard though.

And good to see you casting Jo!
