Why Does Coaching Work?
Coaching works because of three unique features:
Synergy:
The client and coach become a team, focusing on the client's goals and needs. The team approach results in greater accomplishments than the client will achieve alone.
Structure:
With a coach, a client takes more action(s), thinks bigger and stays focused, thanks to the accountability the coach provides.
Expertise:
The coach is trained in very specific areas that support individuals toward achieving their mission.
There are four fundamental questions in a coaching relationship:
- What do I need to do?
- What do I want to create?
- What am I made of?
- Who do I need to be?
How Does A Coach Do This?
Coaching sessions occur during regular, weekly dialogue, either by telephone and / or in person, whichever is more convenient. The client prepares an agenda for the session. The coach partners with them to solve the problems and make the most of the opportunities.
When a client is setting large goals or projects, the coach assists in designing the project and providing the structure needed to contribute to success. The coach brings out the client's best by guiding them in setting achievable goals, developing strategies, monitoring progress, and celebrating the wins.
