- What to
expect from the coaching relationship?
Do
you remember sports teams or mentors from your youth? The great ones
were there to guide, empower and assist you in doing your personal
best. A Life Coach will do the same. Your Life Coach will help you to
identify goals, establish strategies to achieve these and provide
support and encouragement along the way. The client takes action, and
the coach may assist, but never leads or does more than the client.
This ensures the successes are yours and that you can maintain your
goals long after you move from the coaching relationship.
A
professional coach may use inquiry, reflection, requests and discussion to help clients identify personal
and/or business and/or relationship goals, develop strategies, relationships and action plans
intended to achieve those goals. A coach provides a place for clients
to be held accountable to themselves by monitoring the
clients' progress towards implementation of their action plans.
Together they evolve
and modify the plan to best suit the client's needs and environmental relationships. Coaches often act as
human mirrors for clients by sharing outside and unbiased perspectives. Coaches may teach
specific insights and skills to empower the client toward their goals.
- What types
of coaching are available?
Life Coaching:
Life coaching is a practice with the aim of helping clients determine
and achieve personal goals. Life coaches use multiple methods that will
help clients with the process of setting and reaching goals. According
to a survey of coaching clients, "sounding board" and "motivator" were
the top roles selected for a coach. Clients are looking for a coach "to
really listen to them and give honest feedback."
Business Coaching:
Business coaching is the practice of providing positive support and
positive feedback while offering occasional advice to an individual or
group in order to help them recognize ways in which they can improve
the effectiveness of their business. Coaching is an excelent way to
attain a certain work behavior that will improve leadership, employee
accountability, teamwork, sales, communication, goal setting, strategic
planning and more.
Personal Coaching:Personal
coaching is a relationship which is designed and defined in a
relationship agreement
between a client
and a coach. It is based on the client's expressed interests, goals and
objectives.
Conflict Coaching:
Conflict coaching may be used in an organizational context, for matrimonial and other
relationship
matters and is one of many conflict management tools for helping people
improve their conflict management skills and abilities. Like many other
techniques of this nature, it is premised on the view that conflict
provides an opportunity to improve relationships, to create mutually
satisfactory solutions and attain other positive outcomes when
differences arise between and among people.
Transformational Coaching:
A Transformational Life Coach incorporates many modalities available in
meeting the needs of the client, from business best practices to
personal growth to even spiritual matters. This help may increase
awareness and success in transforming one's life. The new millennium
has brought massive economic shifts for many people, creating a need
for redefining their lives. People in transition often want to address
deeper convictions about what they want out of life; they want more
self awareness and self improvement. A transformational coach aims to
bring together and highlight all the possibilities that will help mold
and shape the visioneering process for clients as they create a plan
and execute the daily, weekly, monthly and yearly details.
