Coaching “A dream is just a dream. A goal is dream with a plan and a deadline.” Harvey Mackay What is coaching? Coaching combines the best of many areas of personal development. Coaching is a goal-oriented method to clarify issues in areas of personal or professional development. It is a conversation about the future rather than the past. In a coaching situation the client looks at the here and now. The coach helps the client to find his/her own answers through questions like: What is my current situation? What is right, what is wrong? What is missing/what could be eliminated? What are my plans? What can I do to realize them? The coach is alongside the client supporting and encouraging; any necessary actions are decided by the client. The coach sees more talent and ability within the client than the coachee and helps to draw from his or her own resources. Coaching is an ongoing partnership that helps clients produce fulfilling results in their personal and/or professional lives. It is not therapy and involves less time. Get a coach if: You are stuck with a problem (big or small) Want to improve your career prospects Keep getting caught in the same situation over and over again Have plans, dreams, ideas but don’t know how to get them off the ground Feel uneasy at work or at home but can’t put your finger on it Want to get more out of your life |
