WHY  Personal Coaching?

 

The Benefits Of Working With A Coach  

Why does coaching work?

Coaching works for a number of reasons. As you have probably discovered yourself, creating goals is the easy part ... but sticking to them is harder! Being accountable to someone else can make a profound impact on how much we achieve. We are very often our own worst critic, so being encouraged to stay focused and do what matters most is a key ingredient to success. Sometimes we're so deep in what we are doing that we lose perspective.

Having an unbiased observer on the 'side-lines', giving honest and open feedback, can really help clients to see the bigger picture. It is therefore a combination of a number of different roles, which makes coaching work. As your coach, I synthesize a number of different roles... a mentor who helps set bigger goals ... a manager to break down the goals into smaller chunks ... a personal trainer to keep up motivation and ensure constant movement towards the goals and... a sports coach to provide specific feedback to you that will help you improve their performance...and a constant supporter to pull it all together!

Coaching is proven to work when two factors are present:

  ·         The client is willing to learn, grow, and take action
  ·         There is a gap between where s/he is now and where s/he wants to be

  That’s all that is necessary for a successful coaching relationship, where you can develop the right strategy, implement a plan of action and achieve your goals. Anything is possible within our coaching relationship. With a coach you can:

1.   Take More, Better, and Smarter Actions  

Our first task together is to find out exactly what you really want for yourself. Once you create goals and objectives that are clearly in line with your personal values and professional vision, you are much more likely to naturally and consistently take actions to reach them.

2   Have A Balanced Life, Which Works Well

Professional success is maximized when you enjoy a sense of personal fulfillment and life balance. We will discuss how to be self-oriented yet responsible, and how to carve out enough time so your life outside of work is exactly the way you want it to be.

3.    Make Better Decisions

I will help you become focused as you share ideas with me. I will understand you and be subjective enough to want a lot for you, yet objective enough not to be biased or self-serving. You’ll also find that just talking about your options with someone who really listens is often enough to clarify things.  

4.   Reach For More-- Much More

When you have a partner you trust, you will reach for much more because you can afford to. Are you ready to think big and really live your life fully? I am a partner who will enable you to take your life wherever you want it to go.

5.   Make And Keep More Money

Most people are worth a lot more than they are making. Are you happy with your financial situation? If not, we can look at your beliefs about money, and address whatever is keeping you from experiencing financial abundance.

6.   Have More Sustainable Energy

Together we’ll identify the things that drain your energy, and create a long-term strategy to eliminate them. In addition, we’ll focus on the things that give you energy, and explore how to maximize their impact. When you’re happy, productive, and free from tolerations and problems, life is a lot more fun!

“A man found a long stretch of beach upon which hundreds of starfish had been stranded by a great storm. He observed a boy cupping the starfish in his hands one by one and gently placing them back into the sea. The man asked the boy: ‘What does it matter? You’ll never save them all.’ 

The boy smiled. ‘It matters to the ones I save.”
