How can you help a coachee take responsibility for their own development?

3 Provide feedback and feedforward

Feedback and feedforward are essential tools for your coachee's development. Feedback is the information you give your coachee about their past or present performance, behavior, or impact. Feedforward is the information you give your coachee about their future potential, possibilities, or opportunities.
