Many of the services being provided by professional coaches (especially executive coaches) focus on the problems being faced by a client and/or on the decisions that a client must make. A specific branch of professional coaching has been identified as “decisional coaching.” This branch exists alongside of what Bergquist and Mura identify as behavioral coaching and aspirational coaching.

The Coach Quad’s documentation of perspectives and practices of professional coaching includes the following essays devoted to this critical coaching function. As a professional coach, one must have strategies and tools for effective problem-solving and decision-making in their coaching arsenal whether majoring in decisional coaching or focusing occasionally on problem-solving and decision-making in their personal or organizational coaching practices.
