Abstract: Abstract Coaching has gained in popularity in professional contexts and organizations as a modern and people-focused counselling resp. consulting format. The more it is applied by practitioners, conceptualized by theoreticians, and investigated by scientists, the more it is difficult to define coaching. Therefore, in this chapter coaching will be viewed as the art of creating a relationship based on the professional application of methods and tools, comparable to the work of a self-reflected craftsman. The chapter will reveal how important and essential it is to create and develop a sustainable coaching relationship between the coach and client for the coaching process to succeed. Failure in coaching is seen as failure in a specific relationship that is characterized by the organizational and the private context of the client and the often contradictory goals of the different stakeholders of these contexts. Furthermore, the uniqueness of the coaching relationship, and the multiple perspectives on success and failure within the organizational context will be investigated.
