Formal or spontaneous coaching

Saba Imru Mathieu
Leaders who coach in the work place can do so in two ways.  Formal coaching is used when you want to coach a colleague on ongoing  basis for a certain period,  for example if they just joined your team or if they're in charge of a new project.  Spontaneous coaching instead is what occurs in everyday short conversations during which you can use coaching skills to quickly solve a problem or find a new perspective.
