In simple words, coaching is a partnership based on well-timed questions, open communication, mutual commitment, and learning and personal development.
A great coach serves as a guide to help you get in the habit of taking more strategic actions and making better decisions. Marlow coaching focuses on everything from how you do your work to how you align your career
with your values and long-term goals.
As coaches, our goal is to provide you with the tools, guidance, and encouragement to find your own path forward.
In coaching, you will rarely receive direct advice. Instead, your coach will guide you through skills test to help you understand your assumptions, discover opportunities, and overcome obstacles in order to make progress quickly.
