Coaching is described as developing a person's skills.

• A. Developing a person's skills
• B. Mentoring
• C. 1-2-1
• D. Very specific purpose

Answer: (A)

Coaching centers on improving performance by helping someone develop specific skills through guided practice, feedback, and reflection. That makes “developing a person's skills” the best description, because it captures the main aim of coaching: building capability through targeted skill development and ongoing support. Mentoring describes a broader, long-term relationship focused on overall career guidance, not just skill-building. Describing coaching as a one-to-one arrangement refers to how it’s delivered rather than what it is. And while coaching can have a focused objective, its essence is enabling skill growth rather than settling on a single narrow purpose.
