Why Coaching Works

“Coaches have an advantage over the participants.  They can see things objectively and make assessments which shed light on difficult situations.  Frequently, the simple act of a timely delivered, attentive question can bring amazing clarity to a challenging circumstance.  A Coach can act as the needed sounding board that helps sharpen skills, motivate and build confidence.” 

This should not be surprising to us but one study showed that training alone increased an individual’s productivity by 22% while training combined with weekly coaching increased productivity by 88%. Here are some clues as to why:

Responsibility Most coaches have weekly calls with their clients. This regularly scheduled appointment aids the client in accomplishing more compared to having no coach at all. Think about it, if you work out with a personal trainer at the gym, you work much harder than on your own. Clients take more profound action, set higher goals and think greater thoughts when they work with a professional coach.  Additionally, a good coach while bringing accountability to the call themselves will also teach skills that help the client to be accountable to their own vision and dream.

Know-How The trained life coach has the expertise to help you set goals that appropriately support the life you want to build. Do you want to make more money?  Do you want to be a high performer without your typical anxiety?  A Coach can work with you to structure your personal and professional life to achieve what you want with less effort than you likely imagine.

Advocacy A well-trained coach knows how to use words that work for you that naturally inspire motivation.  Have you ever said or thought, “I can be my own worst enemy”?  Coaching can end these dynamics that have slowed or hampered your progress.  It doesn't take negative or insulting language to move us forward. Coaching, typically, works best with a weekly call so clients have time to integrate new ways of thinking and take action each week toward their goals. Most coaching is done by phone and delivered in half hour to one hour calls. The experience is often an uncommon mix of being deeply challenging and uplifting. You'll look forward to your weekly calls with your coach.

Are you considering a life coach? Perhaps, you are past consideration and actually thinking about life coach certification. Well, whether you want a life coach in Birmingham, Alabama or Australia or Canada or the UK…we would be glad to talk to you about being a life coach. Personally, my introduction to life coaching came through a family crisis. It moved my wife and me to take committed action for our child but also for us. Frankly, we believed we were saving a child but it turned out that we were saving ourselves…and a child. Everyone seeks to conquer what challenges their life in some fashion. You may address your pain or limiting beliefs with determination to change by planning a new strategy, asking a friend for support or seeking power from the divine. Perhaps, you are tired of being so tactically aggressive about your personal development and are seeking a new attitude through meditation or relaxation. Whether you are looking for more money, wealth or are going through a career transition…don’t give up. You can be happy, successful and build the life of your dreams. Can you acknowledge that you may need help? My training allows me to coach people from all backgrounds.
