What is coaching?
Coaching is a new technology of personal
and professional development based on
concepts from sports, business, spirituality,
psychology
and organizational development.
It's for passionate people who want more from
their personal and business lives.
A coach helps them set larger, more
rewarding goals, develop
a strategy to achieve
them and provide support throughout
the process.
It's
not unlike having a personal trainer
or an athletic coach... transformational,
but in a business and personal sense.
The achievement of goals is something
that comes more quickly as a result of
the coaching partnership.
Why does coaching work?
Coaching works when there
are two factors present:
1) The client is willing to grow, and
2) There is a gap between where they are
now and where they
want to be.
Successful coaching clients know the value
of sharing ideas with someone who understands
them and is subjective enough not to want a lot
for them, yet objective enough not to
be biased
or self-serving. Talking about options with
someone who can listen, is often enough
to have it all become
very clear.
Coaching works because of
three unique features:
SYNERGY: Client and coach become a team,
focusing on the client's goals and needs and
accomplishing more than the client would alone.
STRUCTURE: With a coach, the client takes more
actions,
thinks bigger and gets the job done,
thanks to the accountability the coach provides.
EXPERTISE: The coach knows how to help
business people
make better decisions, set
the best goals, develop new skills for
communicating and restructure their professional
and personal lives for maximum productivity.
Where do you start with a coach?
Most coaches begin with a special client meeting
or call
to get to know each other. The coach wants
to hear about the client's goals, needs, and problems.
The client wants
to get comfortable with the coach.
During this meeting, both parties design a list of
goals and a game plan to reach
these goals.
How do the coaching sessions work?
Coaching is usually done over the phone.
In addition to
allowing frequent, regular contact,
it makes it easy to stay in the "coaching relationship",
since the client can
call from their office, home,
car or hotel. The person coached completes a
coaching call strategy form prior to each
call,
describing the current challenges and the progress
they've made since the last call. Most people are
coached
two hours a month, in either four
30-minute sessions, three 40-minute sessions
or two 1-hour sessions.
The
focus of the call is determined by the client.
The coach helps them to solve the problems and
make the most of the
opportunities. When they
are missing a principle or distinction, we draw
one so they can see a whole lot better. When
they
are taking on a large goal, we help them design
and project and provide the support and structure
needed
to make sure it gets done.
We bring out the clients best by offering
advice, expecting
a lot, helping them strategize
and celebrating the wins.
There is often "fieldwork", where the client is
given
a formula, new perspective or a challenge
to try something in a new way. That forms
the basis for the next call.
What happens when you begin a
contract with a coach?
-
You take yourself and what
you want more seriously.
-
You take more effective and
focused actions immediately.
-
You stop putting up with stuff
that gets in your way.
-
You create momentum to achieve more,
be more balanced
and develop more
powerful management skills.
-
You set personal goals that
are clear and meet your needs.
-
You identify and eliminate the
barriers that get in the
way
of the achievement of goals.
-
You communicate about what you
need and want from others
in a more
responsible way.
How can a Manager/Executive
use a coach?
Coaching creates an environment where
there is freedom from
judgment and freedom
from expectations that executive behave
according to typical corporate mandates.
In this
environment it is safe to question,
to appear vulnerable, to observe, to explore,
experiment, to learn and change.
That allows
the executive to use the coach...
...To reach high targets and quotas.
Accomplishing this consistently requires
a manager who also coaches a team to
work together to reach
extraordinary goals.
...For business planning, budgeting and goal-setting.
...To integrate business and personal
life for balance.
... To offer expert coaching in Public Speaking, Creating Effective
Conference Presentations, Enhancement of Public Relation Skills, amongst many executive needs.
...To prioritize
actions and projects.
...For training, developing and managing staff.
...To turn around a difficult situation.
...To handle business or personal problems.
