David Emerald's book "Power of Ted - the Empowerment Dynamic" is a book I recommend. He explains a coach's role as the following:
“…coaches cultivate empowerment and hope in the heart of the creator. Coaches are future and forward focused, supporting a Creator to learn from the past and from current realities. From time to time a good Coach will consciously assume the role of Constructive Challenger. Ultimately, a Coach helps a Creator take ownership and assume personal power, so he or she can respond consciously and purposefully, to life's circumstances. With the help of a Coach, a Creator can stay centered…"
The inViteCHANGE coaching program desribes the purpose of transformational coaching as follows:
Create and heighten client awareness of Essence so that he or she will step confidently toward Personal Sovereignty.

What I really got out of this experience is the ability to find answers for myself instead of just asking others what they do. I think sometimes when you've spent so much time dwelling on your problems, it's good to have someone from the outside to talk it over with. And with the questions posed, you can really find an answer that works for you.
