The ABC's of Coaching
Coaching is different from traditional counseling or therapy, which helps those who are troubled and in crisis. Coaching is for people who have a vision about what they want, yet need a jump start. A coach bridges the gap between where you are and where you want to be, helping you to stay focused.Coaching is practical and convenient! There are no traffic or parking concerns because it can be accomplished through "tele - coaching" (over the phone). As a coach, I act as a sounding board, encourage action and offer honest feedback with specific suggestions.
A coach helps you implement what you've learned from seminars and how-to books so that results can be sustainable. Sometimes talking with an outsider can actually be more helpful than a friend or a spouse. A coach is objective in helping you stay on your path, but subjective in caring for you. When you work with a coach, you get what you want much faster and efficiently than if you work alone.
I help people master today's challenges and welcome new adventures. Coaching is for people who:
- Want to develop more satisfaction and balance in life.
- Want a competitive edge in the ever-changing business environment.
- Want encouragement while struggling with the isolation of self-employment.
For coaching to be successful, it is important that the individual apply himself/herself. The work will sometimes be very purposeful, goal-directed and dependent on doing some homework. At times there might be reading suggestions or assignments. Other times it will be very broad in scope, requiring time in reflection, etc. Either way, real growth comes from the work done in the time between calls.
Clients usually contract for 2 coaching calls per month, with e-mail support. In fact, I encourage contact between scheduled calls by e-mail, with questions, struggles, thoughts or just to touch base. I enjoy delivering this extra level of service and find that those who use it seem to make greater progress!
