| What is Coaching?
A coach is your friend - a personalized partnership
- someone who cares ABOUT YOU and has your interest in mind. A Coach forms a powerful partnership that
will challenge and support you to be "extraordinary" and to achieve
extraordinary levels of performance by expanding your capacity to make a
difference - impacting people's visions & values and offering them powerful
assistance in reinventing who they are being - through their thinking, their
feelings and their behavior - to form a new strategy that is consistent with
achieving what they desire to achieve - by fostering individual excellence & creative collaboration.
A Coach is a thinking partner, a sounding board &
inquirer. A Coach helps people to reinvent themselves rather than reduce their
visions and dreams whenever they hit roadblocks. Coaches have knowledge and
experience, because they've been there before. Coaches have concentrated their
power in a particular area for years - and can teach you one or two distinctions
that can immediately transform your performance in a matter of moments.
A Coach can help you to form new, empowering
perceptions that will help you to take bold action in the present. Coaches
concentrate their expertise on awareness, being objective, mapping & forming
strategies and correcting mistakes. It is about inspiring,
empowering and enabling people to live deeply in the future while acting boldly
in the present.
Who Needs a Coach?
Everyone needs a Coach - whether it is a top level
executive, graduate student, home maker, or president of the United States -
coaching is about creating futures not filling gaps. Coaching is for winners who
seek an edge or an advantage. Coaching is a powerful partnership, not just for
the leaders in sports or the performing arts, but for people in life or business
who are not content to be merely good, but want to be great. People who want to
perfect their performance by hiring a Coach and entering into a relationship
that has an objective viewer who can "see" your swing and evaluate your
performance, and not only give you feedback, but help you to consistently
produce the desired results. Most people with no coaching, or minimal coaching,
never get better, they plateau at mediocrity.
What Do Coaches
do?
Coaches help people access and develop their
"internal resources." Instead of "telling" you what to do, a coach helps you to
find your own answers, access your visions and dreams and apply new resources in
forming strategies for achieving those. A Coach can see what you can't. A coach
acts as an "objective viewer" who can see your "swing" and evaluate your
performance without personal attachment or agenda. A Coach is completely
committed to the person(s) they are coaching & engaging with them in
conversation (or actually a network of conversations) to leave them inspired,
empowered and enabled with respect to their concerns. It starts with
becoming clear on the goals and aspirations that you passionately care about -
then a Coach offers powerful assistance in calling forth "Who" you need to be in
the matter. Coaches help to build new skills & capabilities so that they can
bring out the best in those they Coach. It means fostering not just individual
excellence, but also creative collaboration. A Coach can literally help you to
reinvent yourself.
Coaches Create compelling futures - help design
strategies that predictably produce specific outcomes. We take the dream, the
goal & help you map out strategies, behavioral patterns, empowering perceptions
& emotions and align your beliefs with your values and mission to form
congruency.
Sometimes Coaches don't need to teach you something
new, but rather remind you of what you already know - what you need to do at
just the right moment - expanding your ability to take successful action.
Coaches encourage people to think for themselves. Coaches witness your beliefs,
behavior & strategies, helping you to become aware of them and asking questions
and engaging in dialogue that will help you to access internal resources to
reinvent yourself in a way that will produce the desired outcome or effect.
How will I Benefit
by having a Coach?
To understand the power of personal coaching is to
envision the relationship that exists between Tiger Woods and Butch Harmon -
spending hours relentlessly examining how to hit the ball - forming strategies,
evaluating his "swing" and practicing. Coaching gives us the edge, it takes us
from good to great.
When you leave the presence of a Masterful
Coach - you have the "freedom to be" and you have new openings and strategies
for possibility and action in areas where you were previously stuck and
ineffective. You will be able to make the distinctions of power to create
lasting improvements in the quality of your life.
A Coach is like a gift you give yourself.
