Coaching is a professional relationship with someone who will advise you, guide you, support you, provide accountability and accept nothing but your best. The coaching relationship focuses on the client taking action toward the realization of their goals. A coach provides an outside perspective and keeps the big picture in mind. That big picture is your vision of your life or of your business. Life coaches aren’t counselors or therapists; they are not usually qualified to diagnose or treat mental health matters. A coach’s primary role is to provide a system that makes it easier for their clients to achieve their goals.
Moving You Toward Achievement
Coaching can be thought of as the map to get you from where you are now to where you want to go. It can show you the easiest way and provide a route, but you still must do the work and have the drive to get there. Through questioning and personal discovery the client builds awareness and takes responsibility for their life; the coach provides structure, accountability, support and feedback. Life coaches help their clients identify good habits which move their lives forward and empowers them to overcome self-imposed limitations or fears which hold them back.
What is business coaching?
Business Coaching helps owners of small and medium sized businesses by looking at the systems of their business: their sales process, marketing, budgeting, leadership, management, team building, customer service, business development, and other critical systems. Business coaching is about making improvements and changes so that you and your business perform at a much higher level, continually growing. These areas of growth occur both on a personal level, the way you run your business and ultimately the profits you generate. Business coaching helps to get the most out of your time, energy, resources and investments. Although business coaching is regularly looked to and used when companies aren’t performing well, the benefits of business coaching become exponential when taken advantage of before a crisis occurs.
The process of business coaching identifies areas for improvement, using coaching methodology that includes assessments, questions, brainstorming and planning in order to gain clarity and awareness. A plan of action is then formulated for the business owner and management to implement. Coaching is a process which is action-orientated.
Why Business Coaching?
During business coaching, new skills will be introduced and existing ones developed, along with providing training, resources, guidance, support, motivation and accountability. The overall goal of business coaching is always focused on enabling growth, building efficient systems and increasing profits – resulting in more time and money for the owners.
Although part of the business coaching may include some training, it is mainly focused on helping business people to realize potential and identify goals, while simultaneously providing the support that you and your organization will require to achieve them. The role of business coaching is to help you realize what you want to achieve, discover the best way to reach your goals and provide support and encouragement along the way.
