Chapter 11: Stage 6: Ending the Coaching Relationship

Overview

A coaching relationship should have a start and end point. Ending the relationship will mean that the coach is ready to continue without your support, not necessarily that he or she has finished developing. You may continue a relationship with your coachee , especially if you are the person s line manager, but it is important to highlight the end of the coaching process so that you are clear about the purpose of future interactions.

By the end of this stage of the coaching process you should have the following outcomes :

• An evaluation of the coaching programme.

• Actions to include on your own development plan as a coach.
