What Is Success and How Can Coaching Help You Acheive More of It?
Great Question!
That is where I started. I searched for information about coaching because I kept meeting authors, speakers and coaches and loved what they were doing to help people become more successful. I recognized that I only really understood one type of coach, that's a sports coach. I think most people can remember being in High School and having a coach to guide you along the way.
Maybe you're familiar with the quote:
"Coaching is unlocking a person's potential to maximize their growth" John Whitmore
Well I soon discovered there are many different types including some of these listed below:
- Accountability Coach
- Life Coach
- Dating Coach
- Business Coach
- Financial Coach
- and the list goes on...
According to Wikipedia
Coaching is a training or development process via which an individual is supported while achieving a specific personal or professional competence result or goal. The individual receiving coaching may be referred to as coachee. Occasionally, the term coaching may be applied to an informal relationship between two individuals where one has greater experience and expertise than the other and offers advice and guidance as the other goes through a learning process, but coaching differs from mentoring by focusing upon competence specifics, as opposed to general overall development.No matter what type of coach or style of coaching you decide to go with the benefits of focusing on the process of achieving success and your goals are huge.
Some coaches use a style in which they ask questions and offer opportunities that will challenge the coachee to find answers from within him/herself. This facilitates the learner to discover answers and new ways of being based on their values, preferences and unique perspectives.
If you are looking for someone to talk to about coaching and if it's right for you or maybe you already know you want to start the process and are interested in the tools I use to build momentum and track progress please reach out to me and express your interest. I'm always happy to support those trying to make the world a better place starting with themselves!
