Life coaching is the technology of personal and professional development based on concepts from sports, business, spirituality, psychology and organizational development. It is for passionate people who want more from their personal and business lives. A coach helps one define and set larger, more rewarding goals, develop a strategy to achieve them and provide support throughout the process.smaller
When one thinks of a Coach, you might think of the greats in Sports. In fact, Coach Tom Landry of the Football Hall of Fame said it well. “A coach is someone who gets you to do what you don’t want to do, so you can be who you want to be.”
Coaching is 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.
Successful coaching clients know the value of sharing ideas with someone who understands them and is subjective enough 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.
In the research done by Dave Guerra for his book, “Superperformance,” a common denominator among the successful people in the study was the use of coaching.
Why does life coaching work?
Life 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.
Life coaching works because of three unique features:
1) SYNERGY: Client and coach become a team, focusing on the client’s goals and needs and accomplishing more than the client would alone.
2) STRUCTURE: With a coach, the client takes more actions, thinks bigger and gets the job done, thanks to the accountability the coach provides.
3) 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.
How can a Manager/Executive/Entrepreneur use a coach?
Coaching creates an environment where there is freedom from judgment and freedom from expectations to behave according to typical corporate mandates. In this environment it is safe to question, to appear vulnerable, to observe, to explore, to experiment, to learn and change. The client works with the coach:
- to reach high targets and quotas. Accomplishing this consistently depends on 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 prioritize actions and projects.
- for training, developing and managing staff.
- to turn around a difficult situation.
- to handle business or personal problems.
- to Explore and Learn different techniques such as Emotional, Business and Social Intelligences to optimize all parts of one’s life!
Coaching has been used by athletes, singers, actors, and successful executives for years.
