In the coaching process participates the coach (an expert on organizative area that is able to interpret organizative phenomena), and the customer (company professional). An intelligent and structured dialogue is established between coach and client in order to get the clients goals. (Vega, 2009) The customer becomes aware of an area to be improved and the coach helps him/her to develop that area. For this, the customer gets out from the comfort zone, working with reachable goals, and always taking into account his/her professional development within the organization. www.ciff.net Idoia Gorro単o Arregui 5
