Ever wished you had someone to talk to who would help you think through issues, who could guide you, who would challenge you when you needed to be challenged and praise your accomplishments?
You can find that person in a professional coach.
Coaching can….
- Help you focus on future possibilities, not past mistakes.
- Unlock your potential.
- Close the gap between who you are today and who you want to be in the future.
- Take you from “I wish” to “I am.”
- Give you a partner, an advocate and confidant.
- Force you to ask questions you wouldn’t have asked yourself.
- Help you learn to live without a struggle.
- Teach you to operate out of conscious choice, not out of other people’s expectations and demands.
- Help you to stop feeling controlled by others and start holding yourself accountable for your life.
A coach helps you….
- Take yourself more seriously.
- Get more honest with yourself.
- Set better boundaries.
- Give yourself more credit for the great things you do.
- Appreciate your uniqueness.
- Set better, clearer goals.
- Live more consciously.
- Become more “aware” and live in the moment more often.
- Take more risks.
Your coach will…
- Offer support, structure, tools, accountability and objective insights to further your agenda.
- Have your best interest at heart and not have an agenda of their own.
- Explain how to achieve what you want and how to set benchmarks for performance along the way.
- Help you strategize but not run the race for you.
Types of coaching
Executive/Professional Coaching for those in leadership positions (or who aspire to leadership positions) who want to gain vision and develop leadership skills. Examples include:
- Those who want to advance from a good leader to a great leader.
- Talented managers in the succession lineup but who are challenged in their leadership and communication skills.
- Technically proficient individuals who need a push to promote and gain acceptance for their ideas.
- Strategic thinkers who want to plot new initiatives for their department or company.
- Inexperienced managers whose development is paramount to organizational success.
- Established leaders who need help in balancing work/life to avoid burnout.
- Long-term employees who resist or who have not kept up with organizational change.
- Executive women who want to learn the invisible rules of the game.
Team Coaching involves facilitating a team to work together to reach a goal. In team coaching, outcomes are measurable; goals are reached; and new goals set. As a result, change is embraced, productivity rises, self-confidence improves and communication is enhanced. Staff is happier and they appreciate the investment made in them.
Team coaching may include team assessment, feedback, teambuilding, and facilitation of leadership team meetings to resolve such issues as team conflict and build trust.
