Why Coaching Works and Why It's for You: The REAL Benefits
April 20, 2005
Many of the nation's leading executives turn to coaches to achieve work goals or to maintain balance in their lives. In fact, coaching is a quickly growing and highly successful strategy in corporate America. Small business owners and solo professionals are just now learning about the high value of working with a coach for the same reasons that executives do, and that trend will not only continue, but it is expected to skyrocket. Just as advisers and consultants are important parts of today's business teams, coaches are much more invaluable (in my opinion!).
Unlike a mentor, the coach has no personal agenda, as the basic objective is to help design a life consistent with your values, goals, and dreams.
Unlike a consultant, the coach is not the expert who tells you what to do. You are the most qualified to determine things most important to you. A coach helps clarify those personal truths and helps you stay true to them.
Unlike a therapist, the coach is not concerned with resolving past issues. The coaching model is forward-looking and action-oriented.
Why is coaching worthwhile?
Clients reach better, more rewarding goals
Results are reached faster and easier, and there is more advancement
Clients develop clearer, sharper thinking
Greater abundance is developed, especially with money and personal security
Clients accomplish personally meaningful goals
Clients enjoy a happier, more fulfilling life
Clients learn to putting up with problems - and they quit having fewer of their own
Their businesses reach higher profits and higher profitability
There is a better optimization of ideas
Clients have a more rapid personal evolution and development
What makes the process effective?
The creative synergy is intoxicating!
Emotional support and caring is core to the process
Clients enjoy the intellectual challenge
Coaches provided outside influence and complete objectivity
There is an exciting exchange of ideas
Complete confidentiality and safety
Because coaching is ongoing, there is continual and immediate access
The frequency of interaction allows for greater results and more realistic achievement of goals
The convenience and accessibility is unsurpassed by other methods of learning and development
The types of questions asked and quality of discussions are outstanding and thought-provoking
Why is coaching becoming so popular?
Many people are solo business owners and/or view themselves as their own "corporations"
We are no longer willing to give up our lives to a business or another person
Living our big dream is more complex to achieve and having help to get there is essential
More people have a strong self-determination, and individualism is very important to most
We want it all now; coaching shortens the delay of getting what we want
There is an intense desire for self-expression
Everyone wants to develop a competitive advantage
Because of the increased isolation of most business owners and professionals, coaches are a great sounding board
Where do my clients want to focus?
The topics vary, and have included:
Increased revenue/profitability
Marketing/promotion
Communication/thinking skills
Personal foundation/development
Management/organizational skills
Home/family life
Integration/prioritization
Personal lifestyle/freedom
Problem-solving/tolerations
Clearer, sharper thinking
More money, security
Meaningful accomplishments
