There is real value in coaches having coaching themselves, especially when they find themselves struggling with something and can’t think for thinking about it or have thought themselves into a complete standstill. The value of a pair of fresh eyes and ears on an issue is that it brings a fresh perspective, a thinking partner and endorsement on what has been done or may be considered in the future. It can also bring much needed challenges to one’s own thinking, beliefs and attitudes. It is also a great support system because coaches know about the challenges coaches face in the nature of their work.
