The document discusses how practitioners can become coaches. It explains that coaching involves raising awareness of one's environment and potential. The process involves assessment, active coaching, and sustenance. Assessment includes interviews, process mapping, and metrics baselining. Active coaching consists of facilitation, measuring progress, and self-learning. Sustenance focuses on self-discovery and benefits reporting. Examples are provided for each stage. To become a coach requires patience, empathy, facilitation skills, experience, and mentoring skills. Practitioners with coaching aptitude can become coaches with support from coach-the-coach programs.
