If you are new to coaching and a coaching relationship, it is be helpful to determine what is and what is not part of coaching.
| Coaching is… | Coaching is not… | |
| Privacy vs Confidentiality | Private, not confidential. | Confidential. If you are looking for confidential staff, you can visit https://wellbeing.jhu.edu/youdecide/ |
| Goal Work | Help students and learners experiment with new approaches, strategies and ideas in a way that feels supported and in service of what the student/learner wants | Telling the student/learner what they should be achieving |
| Structure | Self-Directed. The learner determines the goals and path the coaching will take. | Coach-Directed. The coach is not serving as the expert or the guide. |
| Time Orientation | Focused on the present, is action-oriented, and making plans and goals for the future. | Focused on the past. Coaching does not directly address trauma. |
| Coaching Relationship | Person-Centered. The coaching space allows the learner to be the expert of their own life; their whole creative self and their full identity. | A scripted experience that tries to fix, diagnose, or mold individuals into a category. |
