Coaching is a process of discovering and determining what your goals are; identifying and eliminating roadblocks that are keeping you from succeeding; and developing an action plan to reach your goals. Effective, powerful coaching allows you to develop new skills (such as business writing, public speaking, or improving your communications within an organization); improve your ability to overcome obstacles (external or internal); discover hidden talents (artistic or business); accomplish new things (start your own business or learn a new sport); and increase your success (professional or personal).
Coaching is an ongoing relationship with an experienced Coach designed to help you take action toward the realization of your goals and dreams. Coaching focuses on facts and behavioral patterns that may stand in the way of your moving forward. It emphasizes making choices in the present to realize your potential, rather than living in the past or waiting for the future, and creating a system of accountability to keep you on track. Your role in the coaching process is critical. Not only do you set the agenda, but your willingness to be open, truthful and vulnerable are key to your success.
The coaching process focuses your unique strengths and helps you develop new skills while providing the support and accountability you may need to succeed. Sometimes all we need is someone in our corner to help us take the next step.
