Stereotypically coaching may be less immediately effective in corporate and / or regional cultures because of a range of factors including-

Attitudes relating the past to the present  (nb Cottle time circles  www.via-web.de/timeconcept/) Status and hierarchy (coachee who is used to / apparently wishes to be ‘told‘ what to do..) Status and subject expertise (coachee who is unused to ‘unknowing’..)
