What
is coaching?
Coaching
is a form of consulting. Like a consultant, a coach helps you and/or your firm
to:
¨
Solve problems
¨ Reach goals
¨ Design a plan of action
¨ Make decisions
In
addition to the above, the coach "stays with" (coaches) the client to:
¨
Implement the plan of action, working through the inevitable changes and
any obstacles.
¨ Maintain a healthy balance between your personal and professional life.
¨ Keep looking ahead to take advantage of opportunities which are just now
formulating.
¨ Bring out your personal best, keeping focused on your needs,
values and vision.
All
coaches are consultants; not all consultants are coaches.
Why
does coaching work?
Coaching
works because it brings out your best. A coach believes you have
the answers and is trained to bring them out (painlessly)!
Specifically, this is what I do with you during our coaching sessions:
Listen.
I listen fully. You are the focus. I
listen to what you say, what you are trying to say, and what you are not saying.
Share. After you have fully
communicated, I share with you my advice, ideas, comments and views on your
situation, dilemma or opportunity.
Endorse. Anyone who's up to something
– an entrepreneur, a manager with an extraordinary objective, a
professional filling the practice needs - yes, needs - an outside voice
full of endorsement, compassion and acknowledgement. Not as a yes type person,
but as someone who knows what it takes to achieve.
Suggest. I want a lot for you.
I want you to be healthy, happy and successful. I want you to be on a strong
financial track. I want you to enjoy your family and friends. I want you to have
a life that inspires others - and yourself. Part of my job is to be at least 3
steps ahead of you, yet be with you. As such, I make requests and suggestions.
And, you are the client.
Six benefits of working with a coach
Coaching
is proven to work when these two factors are 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. That is all that is necessary for you and your coach to solve
problems, create a new life, create goals that are congruent with your most
deeply held values, and design and implement a plan of action. Or whatever else
is called for to ensure that you have what you need to get more of what you
want.
With
a Coach You Will:
Take
More, Better, and Smarter Actions:
BECAUSE YOU SET THE GOALS YOU REALLY
WANT
Ultimately, humans do what they really want to do anyway. And to find out
exactly what you really want for yourself and your business is our first task
together. I help you to distinguish between what you coulda, shoulda, oughta and
have-to want from what you, in your heart of hearts, really want for
yourself. Once you create the ideal goal that is designed to act in concert with
your most deeply held values, you're much more likely to naturally and
consistently take actions to reach it.
Have
a Balanced Life Which Works Well:
BECAUSE YOU DESIGNED IT "SELFISHLY"
Sorry, but having it all means starting with a balanced life. And you know what that
means -- It's time to be very, very selfish. Not egotistical, but Selfish.
With a capital S. I'll show you how to be selfish yet responsible. And how to get your needs met and still be liked
by other people! (This process is called establishing your Personal
Foundation and there are only 25 steps. You'll love building your
foundation because you know you're worth it. You need this base if you are to be
your Self.
Make
& Keep More
Money:
YOU ARE WORTH MORE THAN YOU'RE MAKING
Money, money, money! You gotta have it and have a lot more of it than you think.
You know you can make (and keep) more money, so why don't you? I'll help you
increase your business, fill your practice, pay off old bills, set up a
financial plan and future and help design a strategy for you to earn more from
your professional efforts. (Yes, you can!)
Reach
for More, Much More:
AND NOT BE CONSUMED IN THE PROCESS
When anyone has a partner they trust, they will always reach for more because
they can afford to.
Make
Better Decisions for Yourself and Your Business:
BECAUSE YOUR FOCUS IS CLEAR
Every single client of mine is smart, smart and smart. Yet, they still use me.
Why? Because they 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. Just you talking about your options with someone
who can listen is often enough to have it all become very clear. You'll always
get my honest, constructive views.
Have
a Lot More Sustainable Energy:
NO MORE CHUGGING ALONG
When you're happy, productive and free from tolerations and problems, you are
going to feel better!
How do you work?
I
work mostly on the telephone: It is called telecoaching. You call me at a
pre-scheduled time. Most clients call me once per week at the same time each
week. Calls are usually 50 minutes.
