In the
typical business coaching relationship, client and coach work together to
identify a goal or a particular business roadblock. Together they explore
possible root causes and develop strategies for taking the client's performance
to a new level. The coaching process combines brainstorming, goal setting,
action planning and progress reporting. Coaches hold clients accountable to their
own objectives in a supportive, non-judgmental manner.
Benefits of
Coaching are Professional and Personal
Individuals
who use a business coach are often surprised by the gains made in their
personal lives while they pursue professional goals. Who you are is closely
intertwined with how you work and how you relate to others. When improvements
are made in one area they can't help but positively affect other aspects of
your life.
Who Uses A
Business Coach?
A wide
variety of individuals use a business coach for an even wider variety of
reasons. For example, business owners often use business coaching to increase
revenue in their businesses and create more balance in their lives. They also
use business coaching to motivate employees, decrease employee turnover, and
provide themselves with increased accountability.
CEO's,
executives and even mid-level managers often rely on their coach's ability to
provide honest feedback because, as is often the case, very powerful executives
don't have anyone who will be totally honest with them. The resulting
opportunity for personal growth and professional improvement are lost. A good
business coach will help an executive identify areas needing improvement,
enabling that executive to reach new heights of success.
While
mid-level managers often receive feedback from both superiors and subordinates,
they, too, use coaching to advance their careers. A business coach can help
managers learn how to create a motivated staff as well as how to interact with
staff and superiors more effectively. Confident and productive management
combined with a receptive and communicative work force is an undeniable recipe
for success that is well within the scope of any business - including yours!
Sales
professionals, entrepreneurs and individuals seeking a career change can also
leverage the business coaching relationship to their benefit. It is not
uncommon for a sales professional to use coaching as a springboard to increase
sales, which generally translates to an income upgrade. Individuals wanting an
occupation upgrade can use business coaching to identify a more enjoyable
career path and develop subsequent strategies to follow it.
Entrepreneurs
who are starting up a new business often use coaches to help provide the
structure and resources needed to implement an accelerated path.
Whether
you're looking to improve, redefine or change your work life altogether, the
first step is contacting a coach to discuss your objectives. A prospective
coach will provide a free consultation over the phone to explore your
professional needs.
