Coaching is a connection of two minds in communication.
The role of the Coach is to ask questions.
The task of the Coachee is to find the answers.
The Levels of Coaching are determined by how, where, and when the Coachee accesses the answers.

• It accesses the Conscious, Sub-Conscious or Super-Conscious Mind
• It is a Dependent, an Inter-dependent or an Inter-developmental Relationship
• It addresses the future, the past or the present moment of time
• It is intellectual, instinctive or intuitive
• It solves problems, meets challenges or explores opportunities
• It utilises motivation, self-motivation or empowerment
• It is mentoring based, treatment based or transformational
• It is professional development, personal development or self-developmentr

• Listening
• Empowering
