They help people improve both their personal and professional lives.
They help people to solve problems quickly.
They're not a financial adviser, although they challenge their
clients to earn more and spend wisely.
They are not family counsellors, but they show their clients how
to communicate better at home.
They are not corporate consultants, yet they counsel executives
on strategy and leadership.
They are not career counsellors, but they help employees to rise
through the ranks or to make a job change.
And they are not teachers, but they show their clients how to get
more of what they want.
They are personal and business coaches.
They spend their days helping their clients to succeed, on their
terms.
They chat on the telephone with a dozen clients during an average
day and help them to set goals, make changes, solve problems, improve
their outlook and, quite simply, to go for it.
They coach anyone who really wants to make important changes in
their life.
Coaches develop a personal partnership with their clients. You
may want coaching in personal areas such as solving relationship
and financial problems, improving time and stress management and
increasing your quality of life. Or on business matters such as
making a difficult career change, starting a business, expanding
your business or simply getting ahead, faster.
During coaching sessions, Coaches listen a lot, ask key questions,
share what they see and make recommendations. But the most important
part of the coaching session is the back and forth discussion and
sharing of ideas. It is a collaborative process, of working together
to create a solution to a problem or develop a long-term strategy
for success; the coach is not just an "advice dispenser.
