Abstract
The purpose of this study is to explore the place of spirituality in individual coaching methods. Coaching of individuals to achieve higher levels of functioning, or achieve specific goals, in personal or professional life, has come into prominence over the last 10 years, even to the point of spawning a professional association—Professional Coaches and Mentor Association established in 1992. Coaching is a relationship between a coach and an individual or group, whereby the coach, as an expert resource, assists the client(s) in attaining a personal best in a given area, through encouragement and as a trusted advisor. There are numerous types of coaches. The most commonly recognized are for sports, but there are many other kinds such as leadership, executive, voice, professional musical instrument, acting, spiritual and personal growth.
