Introduction to Christian Leadership Coaching Definition of Coaching
Key Distinctions: Coaching - Consulting - Counseling - Mentoring - Managing
Me - to - You Continuum
The “me-to-you” index represents the level of input from the giver to the receiver. In all other modalities except coaching, the person doing the teaching, training, consulting, mentoring, etc. is considered to be the expert. While the transfer of the expertise varies in form depending on the modality, the person receiving the input is considered to have fewer answers and less expertise in the area. For example, in teaching, the teacher has the content and presents it to the student. In consulting, the consultant has the answers/expertise and passes it on to the receiver. However, in coaching, the coaching process presupposes that the person being coached is the expert and has the answers/solutions. The coach’s “job” is to facilitate the coachee’s ability to get to his or her own solutions. The “me” side of the equation (the coach) is low—the “you” side of the equation (the coachee) is high. In coaching, the me-to-you index is low.
