Abstract

The term “coaching” primarily evokes the image of the sports coach, aiming to guide and drive an athlete to successful performance and winning or becoming a champion. Nowadays, coaching has become such a ubiquitous concept that it can connote any professional practice empowering people to unlock their potential to make the most of their performance and achieve their goals. The higher education sector is one of the key areas to benefit from adopting coaching practices where coaching can be used in different applications. This chapter presents a selective review of the definition, purpose, and main areas of coaching and explores the differences between coaching and mentoring skills. The review is based on information collected from published papers, books, coaching professional bodies' publications, websites, and lecture notes. In addition, it presents key coaching applications and their potential in the higher education sector.
