Abstract
The purpose of this study is to enhance the competence of professional coaches by understanding ‘coaching presence', which is the fourth of the 11 core-coaching competences of the International Coach Federation (ICF). To this end, the study analyzed the concept and definition of ‘presence’ and reviewed the ICF's definition of ‘coaching presence' capability and implementation guidelines, key skills for qualification evaluation, and the existence of coaches implementing coaching presences. The results of the study are as follows. First, it was recognized that presence was used as a term to mean sense of site, social sense, presence, perception of existence, interaction, and connection from various academic perspectives. Second, the ICF defined coaching presence as 'the ability to be fully conscious and create spontaneous relationships with the client, employing a style that is open, flexible and confident. This definition refers to the coach's interaction and utilizes the coach's perception of the customer's agenda and the way the customer is present, reflecting and using perceptions in the coaching. Third, the coach implementing the coaching presence should become the client's complete partner in coaching dialogues and orientations for interacting with the client, and the relationship between the coach and client should be horizontal and deep in the partnership. The coach's key skills are his ability to use the coaching process for deep observation and observation of the client. The Associate Certified Coach (ACC) level should be able to deeply connect with customers by observing and perceiving the information on their clients' agenda and using it for coaching, but having a Master Certified Coach (MCC) level that knows who they are, what they want, and how they learn and create new things. In particular, the coach should exist as fully connected observers to the client and should be able to coach effectively by establishing coaching relationships. Through this study, the concept of 'coaching presence' competence was theoretically codified and the master certified coach level skills required by the ICF were clarified. We expected that coaching presence can contribute to enhancing professional coaches' ability if it increases and can apply the understanding of core skills and practices of 'coaching presence'.
