Why Coaching Frameworks Matter Every coach, regardless of experience, benefits from having a clear framework to guide their work. A framework is not a script or a rigid formula. It is a structure that supports consistency while still allowing flexibility. Without it, coaching can rely too heavily on intuition, which...
