Non-directive coaching is coaching where the coach asks questions to allow people to find their own solutions.

Directive coaching is where the coach offers solutions, tools and techniques for moving forward. Sometimes it may be useful to offer solutions, however the danger is that the solution may not be quite appropriate for the situation and consequently people may not feel fully committed to the solution provided.
