The Co-Active Coaching Model The term co-active refers to the fundamental nature of a coaching relationship in which the coach and client are active collaborators. In co-active coaching, this relationship is an alliance between two equals for the purpose of meeting the client's needs. Four Cornerstones There are four cornerstones that form the foundation of co-active coaching: 1. The client is naturally creative, resourceful, and whole. 2. Co-active coaching addresses the client's whole life. 3. The agenda comes from the client. 4. The relationship is a designed alliance. The Client's Strengths The primary building block for all co-active coaching is this: Clients have the answers or they can find the answers. From the co-active coach's point of view, nothing is wrong or broken, there is no need to fix the client. The coach does not have the answers; the coach has questions. Sometimes clients don't think they have the answers; sometimes they'd rather believe someone else-an expert-has the answers for them. Often there is a natural desire to buy the answers in a packaged program rather than do the work it takes to find a solution. All too often, what people end up with is an empty package.

When they look inside, with the help of a coach, they'll find they know themselves, their strengths, and their limitations. They'll also discover what they want, what they fear, what motivates them and what holds them back, their purpose and their vision, and where they sell out. They may never have sought the answer before the coach asks the question-the question that creates the channel for self-discovery-but the answer is there. Clients do know how to find their way, especially with the help of their coach. Years of experience using the co-active coaching model confirm it. This is why we say that the coach's job is to ask questions, not give answers. We have found that clients are more resourceful, more effective, and generally more satisfied when they find their own answers. And because they found the answers themselves, th
