A core element of the IMAP coaching approach is:
Goals
In the coaching process, clear goals must be defined—that is, thinking in terms of the desired outcomes.
Practical orientation
The coachee should quickly move into action. The goal is to reflect on typical situations in a solution-oriented way, analyze them, and develop alternatives that can then be tested and reassessed.
Support
As coaches, we can initiate and support the development process, offering context-sensitive impulses—while the coachee remains responsible for finding their own solutions. IMAP coaches shape the process and methodological framework, thereby providing ‘help for self-help’.
