What Is Coaching?
If coaching is new for you, I'd like to help clarify what it is. In one word: Empowerment! Coaching is a synergistic relationship that assists you to access your intuition, leverage your strengths and take the actions which will give you the results you want most. A coach will validate and support you in making a commitment to honor your highest vision of yourself and your life.
Coaching is a way to get the life or business you truly want. It helps you develop your potential and talents and discover more of your authentic self so you can attain what you always knew, deep down, to be true about yourself. The outcomes that clients most often attribute to their coaching are a higher level of self-awareness and self-confidence, a more balanced life, smarter goal-setting and lower stress levels.
Coaching is an empowering process of working one-on-one in partnership to clarify your vision and purpose, discover new possibilities, set goals and create a strategy for achieving them. It's an ongoing, absolutely supportive and empowering alliance between you and me to help you manifest your dreams and goals.
Most coaching is done over the telephone (with the exception of on-site business coaching), from the convenience of your home or office. The client sets the agenda and the coach helps to clarify the vision. Between-session support is provided by email. You will call for your coaching sessions at regular weekly intervals. The number and length of sessions are scheduled to meet your needs. Everything we share as coach and client are completely confidential.
Here's how it works.
Each week we work as a team during your scheduled appointment to set goals and craft strategies to keep you focused and on track. We discuss your accomplishments, challenges and opportunities that occurred the previous week and define the actions necessary for continued achievement. Through a 30-45 minute phone session 2-4 times a month, you and I will typically:
- Explore what you want to achieve in your life or business.
- Set specific goals and plan a course of action to achieve them.
- Look at the behavioral patterns, issues and beliefs that may hinder change.
- Ask thought-provoking questions to stimulate you to look at things in new ways.
- Mentor, listen and give you honest feedback.
- Hold you accountable to the actions that you commit to take between coaching sessions.
Why do people use or need a Life or Business Coach? Statistics from the American Society for Training and Development show that the likelihood of a person completing a goal breaks down as follows:
- Hear an idea - 10%
- Consciously decide to adopt an idea - 25%
- Decide when they will do it - 40%
- Plan how they will do it - 50%
- Commit to someone else that they'll do it - 65%
Now when they have a specific accountability appointment with the person they have committed to - 95% actually complete the goal. That's the beauty - and the bottom line of having a personal coach who is wholeheartedly committed to you and your goals.
- A Coach will help you to discover what truly matters in your life and business.
- A Coach will help you keep motivated while working through change.
- A Coach will work with you to establish the issue you want to work on, help you set down the goal, see where you are right now and work with you to accomplish that goal with all the options you come up with to reach that target.
- A Coach will listen to you without making any judgment.
If this sounds like something you would like to explore, I invite you to contact me for a complimentary session to see if coaching is for you.
