Robert Hargrove suggests that “masterful” coaching involves challenging and supporting people to be extraordinary leaders, as well as to achieve extraordinary levels of performance (Hargrove, p. 12). When I have asked participants of leadership and/or coaching workshops to think back to the individual who had the most impact in their lives, inevitably, participants remember teachers, coaches, family members, friends, mentors and/or managers whom they felt gave them a tremendous amount of support and understanding, while at the same time, challenged them to achieve levels of performance which they did not previously realize they were capable of.
