What Is Coaching? Professional coaching is an ongoing relationship that focuses on clients taking action toward the realization of their visions, goals or desires. Coaching uses a process of inquiry and personal discovery to build the client’s level of awareness and responsibility, and provides the client with structure, support, feedback and a means for accountability.
Benefits of working with a Professional Coach ♦ Your actions will be better, smarter & more meaningful because you’ll set the goals you really want. ♦ Your decisions for yourself and for your business will be more sound because your focus will be more clear. ♦ You will have a balanced life that works well because you’ll design it in a self-caring, yet healthy way. ♦ You will earn and have more money because you’ll remember that you’re worth more than you’re making. ♦ You will reach for more without being overwhelmed because you’ll have a partner (coach) who you can trust to keep you true to your abilities, values and goals (integrity). ♦ You will have more sustainable energy to put towards living the life you want because there will be no more stopping and starting … you’ll have the tools, structure and support you need to stay on track.
How Coaching Works Coaching generally happens through regularly scheduled phone meetings. E-mails, faxes and voice mail are used for “between meeting” contact and are also the means for “checking-in” or reporting progress - the accountability component of coaching. (Face-to-face meetings, while not necessary, can also be conducted, when geographically possible.)
Prior to each meeting, the client typically completes and sends ahead a "call agenda" or "call preparation form" which outlines the client's agenda and focus for the call. Then, the client calls the coach at a pre-determined time for the coaching session.
