There are many coaching models. The one we prefer is that of the Sage (or wizard) to the King. Think of the classic tales of Merlin as counselor and advisor to King Arthur or Tolkien's Gandalf in Lord of the Rings to King Aragorn, King Théoden and others. In Biblical times there was the prophets like Samuel and Nathan serving Kings like Saul, David and Solomon. In modern times, Presidents, Prime Ministers and Kings or Queens have had counselors or advisors to serve them and their nations. Good sages or coaches understand that their role is to support, encourage and reflect with the king or leader - not make their decisions for them. Good coaches know that "the buck stops" with the leader. But wise leaders have learned the value of trusted relationships to help them on their quests.
