There are many reasons for working one-on-one with a coach :
- To get out more easily of a difficult moment, such as a career transition, a creative block or difficulties at work,
- To help manage time and organisation in order to gain personal efficiencies,
- To overcome fears or undermining beliefs which spoil the enjoyment of daily life,
- To better balance work and family life,
- To help redirect one’s life towards a more rewarding activity or position,
- For objective support in difficult moments when preparing an exam,
- For people returning to the work force after some time out,
Which challenge will you address ?
Whatever be your goal you can be sure to move faster towards that goal with a good professional coach. You will enjoy the unconditional support of your own personal Coach.
A good coach is:
- Better than a friend because the coach works along you for what YOU want
- On sensitive or key issues, a friend may hesitate to ask you to face-up to the matter at hand… or that friend may be influenced by his/her own judgement of your situation.
- An objective observer who will support or challenge you when required.
- All clients agree that they accomplish more when working with a demanding coach like me.
- A professional in the art of listening and asking questions.
- Good coaches have received specialised and supervised professional training.
- A safe person to share plans and secrets with.
- A good coach is bound by a written confidentiality agreement.
- Someone who knows how to recognize and acknowledge your qualities and your achievements.
- We all are our worst enemy when it comes to evaluating how we perform.
- Someone who will demand action and progress from you.
- Sympathy and empathy are OK, but generally, it is action that generates progress.
- The regular sessions help you stay on top of your plans, clear about your challenges and active in your development.
