Performance goals come from any the role you may have at work, as an individual, a team member, an employee, a consultant, a leader/manager, or boss. Your goal can help you reach your full potential, develop certain abilities and behaviors, increase job satisfaction and bring a healthy work / life balance.
In professional coaching the partnership between coach and coachee is truly confidential, which means that anything asked, said or considered remains between the two. Feedback on the progress in general may be given to the manager/employer, after agreement with the coachee.
