Coaching – a method or art?

Coach is a method to influence people, to change their behaviour, to learn new skills, to reach new aims. Coaching is a method of directing, instructing and training a person or group of people, with the aim to achieve some goal or develop specific skills. There are many ways to coach, types of coaching and methods to coaching. Direction may include motivational speaking. Training may include seminars, workshops, and supervised practice.
That there are many ways to coach shows that there is a problem to measure the success of coaching. One way could be to ask the coached what he is able to repeat and what new behaviours he is able to show. Today coaching plays an important role in human resource development (HRD) and life help, and the field of coaching as a distinct area of study is rapidly gaining ground. But what means art, is there a definition possible? Strolling up wikipedia 2009 you can read:
Art is the process or product of deliberately/consciously arranging elements in a way that appeals to the senses or emotions. It encompasses/comprise/covers a diverse range of human activities, creations, and modes of expression, including music, literature, film, sculpture, and paintings. The meaning of art is explored in a branch of philosophy known as aesthetics.
The definition and evaluation of art has become especially problematic since the early 20th century. Richard Wollheim distinguishes three approaches: the Realist, whereby aesthetic quality is an absolute value independent of any human view; the Objectivist, whereby it is also an absolute value, but is dependent on general human experience; and the Relativist position, whereby it is not an absolute value, but depends on, and varies with, the human experience of different humans.An object may be characterized by the intentions, or lack thereof, of its creator, regardless of its apparent purpose. A cup, which ostensibly can be used as a container, may be considered art if intended solely as an ornament, while a painting may be deemed craft if mass-produced.
Traditionally, the term art was used to refer to any skill or mastery. This conception changed during the Romantic period, when art came to be seen as "a special faculty of the human mind to be classified with religion and science".Generally, art is made with the intention of stimulating thoughts and emotions.

Stiftung findet Antwort auf Bildungskrise!

„Unsere Seminare sind“, so der Akademieleiter der gemeinnützigen Stiftung Erziehung, Bildung, Wissenschaft & Kultur „ sind sicher auch „unternehmensorientiert, weltklasse, einsatzfertig, überragend, unerreicht, unübertroffen“ aber auch charmant, liebenswert, sanft, geduldig und menschenfreundlich“, und lächelt dabei verschmitzt.
