What is coaching?
Coaching is the process of identifying an individual’s desires, talents and dreams, and giving them confidence and skills to achieve their goals and aims. From athletes to top businessmen, good coaching is recognised as one of the key elements of success in all major competitive fields – this is why it is one of the fastest growing business skills today.
What do you want to be?
•A decision maker
•A leader
•More energetic
•Better organised
•A great public speaker
•A sporting success
•Working in a job you love
Coaches are professional trainers, experts in their field and most are accredited through organisations such as the European Coaching Foundation. They are there to help discover what YOU want, and to develop your potential. Rather than imposing a set of beliefs or course of action upon you, a coach will work co-operatively to help you make the decisions to change your life.
Typically, the process of coaching involves:
•Identifying what your goals are
•Turning these goals into concrete objectives
•Creating a self-image that could achieve these objectives
•Forming a plan to realise this self-image
•Building a support framework
•Executing the plan
•Monitoring and celebrating success
At every step, your coach will be there to guide and support you, one-to-one. They can even continue the process through internet, phone and video if you have to travel apart in pursuit of your dreams, and most coaches will offer a first session completely free.
Whatever your goals, coaching is the quickest and surest route to success |
