Successful Implementation of the Coaching Process – Key Models, Principles & Procedures Coaching involves several core principles, each of which includes specific processes or practices.

Practicing this core principle involves the coach utilizing tools such as the Wheel of Life in order to help clients determine the areas of their lives where fulfillment is lacking. The coach also works with the client to
