Let’s find out a bit more about coaching and see if its something that you would like to explore…
What is Coaching
Coaching helps people to achieve their goals and aspirations also when at times they are not exactly sure what they are. It takes people from where they are to where they want to be.
Coaching creates a crystal clear vision on how to overcome challenges.
It is a method whereby the coach and the client are engaged in listening and questioning with an aim towards achieving results.
Coaching is a process that enables the client to find his / her own solutions in order to achieve full potential in the areas of business, career, profession and personal life.
The benefits
Working with a coach will help you reach and achieve the success you dream of.
A coach is someone who supports, motivates and enables you to achieve your goals.
✓ You will gain valuable insights about yourself.
✓ It will increase your self-awareness and open new possibilities.
✓ Unconditional support all the way.
✓ Allows you to have a sounding board when making decisions.
✓ Having a personal Mentor in Professional and Personal development.
✓ And most importantly, coaching provides a partnership allowing you to achieve what is important for you.
The right coach…
A good coach is non-judgemental.
They see the best in you, they believe in the best version of you, they believe in your transformation and in your goals.
The coach will inspire you to tackle any obstacle on your journey and they will also challenge you on that journey.
The right coach for you will have experience in their niche and will bring suggestions, ideas, information and inspiration that can really help you to help yourself.
Most coaches are self-motivated themselves.
Why coaching works…
As individuals we subconsciously limit ourselves when we work in isolation. But when we work with a coach, we think differently and are allowed to consider the impossible.
A coach will not have your limiting beliefs – they won’t have the same false fears that you do.
Coaching results in allowing you to focus on new thoughts & possibilities – thereby allowing you to facilitate positive changes.
Having a coach that will inspire you, encourage you, who will be there for you and that keeps you accountable is therefore a true recipe for success.
What a coach does…
✓ A coach helps you to identify your important goals.
✓ A coach will assist you to gain clarity in your goal.
✓ A coach helps you gain awareness of what you can control.
✓ A coach challenges you in many ways.
✓ A coach helps you identify the tools required to reach your goal.
✓ A coach supports you with every step of your journey.
✓ A coach will be honest with you.
✓ A coach will hold you accountable to your goals.
What a coach is not…
A coach is not a therapist or a counsellor.
A coach is not necessarily going to be your best friend – they are there to hold you accountable in achieving your goals.
A coach does not force or tell you what to do – that has to come from within you – it has to come from your motivation to change.
A coach does not want your outcome more than you do.
Do I need a coach?
Where you are today has been due to the actions of the best version of you. If your future was determined by an ever better version of you, just think how much more you will actually achieve.
You can definitely start on your personal development by reading books. You will gather a lot of information but that will only take you so far.
With a coach, you get to enjoy transformation rather than information.
In simple terms, a coach is somebody who works with you to realise your dreams.
They help you to identify your dreams, they help you to identify your aspirations, they believe in those dreams and aspirations.
If you want to make a change and are committed to that change, a coach will be there ready to help and support you.
The coach will empower you and help you to believe that you can achieve your goals.
If succeeding and achieving are not for you, then you don’t need coaching. But if fulfilling your dreams is important then having a coach who can inspire, motivate and support you will make a huge difference.
