Today’s organisations rely on their staff, both collectively and individually, to meet rapidly evolving demands and challenges. Coaches support, challenge and empower others within their organisations. Historically, the term ‘coach’ migrated from describing horse-drawn vehicles to also mean advising or instructing others. In the 1830s, ‘coach’ was Oxford University slang for tutors who helped to ‘carry’ students through their exams. Think of the modern interpretation as a metaphor of coaches helping to move others from where they currently are to where they want to be.
