COACHING AS MODELING

What’s the relationships between Coaching and Modeling? Do you know? Is there a relationship or are these two distinct and discreet disciplines for which there are no interfaces? If there is an interface, which I’m assuming there is, then what does both a coach and a modeler have in common? What does a coach do that’s similar to what a modeler does and what does a modeler do which corresponds to what a coach does?

In beginning to map out the common territory between coaching and modeling it is obvious that both deal with the subjective experience of individuals. The person who models does so from the perspective of its structures—how does this experience work? How does the person act to create his or her experience of X (resilience, leadership, motivation, etc.)? The coach has an entirely different focus. She wants to facilitate the person to have the experiences that the person does not now have, but wants to have. So the coach has to find out where the person currently is and map out the person’s understanding of where to go. Here you can use Landscape Mapping.
