I prefer to call what I do "Coaching" rather than "Teaching,"  because adults learn faster and more effectively by Doing rather than Listening to a speaker's lectures.  A "Coach" is necessarily a "Teacher," but is more involved in what the player is doing and advising the player in how to achieve the Goals the player has decided to focus on.

A coach supports clients in achieving their goals, with goal setting, encouragement, and questions.  I energize and empower clients to solve their problems and find their own solutions, by asking questions that give them insight into their situations (see Tim Gallwey's The Inner Game of Tennis or Myles Downey's Effective Coaching).
