On May 25, 2006, Neil Olson, Coaching for Professional and Personal Satisfaction, gave a talk in Santa Clara, CA to attorneys on how a professional coach can help them gain an edge in their careers.
Olson explained what coaching was. It is not teaching which is the dispensing of information. It is not therapy. It is helping someone understand who he/she is perceived when interacting with people.
There are certified business coaches found through the Professional Coaches and Mentor Association or the International Coaching Federation. Some coaches have ICF Certification, but the training process for coaches is not as rigorous as other professions such as medical or law.
