Coaching is an intervention process oriented for repertoire development. The demand for coaching has increased in the past few years. Despite this increase, there are few researches investigating coaching, and investigations focused on procedure studies are even rarer. As coaching, like psychotherapy, is also a type of intervention that occurs in a professional-client partnership system, in the present study a method used to investigate clinical processes was applied to the investigation of coaching. This research investigated the verbal behaviors that occur in the interaction between coach and coachee in a coaching process. Thereby, the Multidimensional System for Coding Behavior in Therapeutic Interaction was implemented. The results point out that coaches’ most common behaviors are Information, Requesting of reports, Requesting of reflection, whereas coachees’ most common behaviors are Reporting and Establishing relations. In addition, when compared to results of psychotherapy-oriented researches, there appears to be some difference, for in the latest behaviors of Interpretation and Empathy seems to occur more often than in coaching processes. The results also suggest that coaching processes seem aimed at the coachee acquiring self-observation, self-analysis, and self-control.
