Effective Coaching requires a number of skills and abilities to produce the desired end of personal growth and improved capability. The ambitions of coaching frequently include

·      Client empowerment

·      Robust client coach relationship

·      Improved self-awareness or self-knowledge of coachee

·      The co-creation of ideas and motivation to achieve change

·      The creation of helpful emotional states such as hope and optimism

 

Positive psychology coaching places a particular emphasis on self-awareness of strengths as the source of increased performance and self-confidence; and on the creation of positive affect to help support a sense of agency and pro-activity.
