The best reasons to hire a coach

1. INCREASED CLARITY AND FOCUS

We rarely take the time to think about what we want to achieve in life. A coach can help you increase your focus and ultimately your effectiveness.

2. INCREASED ACCOUNTABILITY

It’s easy to make excuses to not do the things we know we should do. Having a coach as an accountability partner helps you keep your commitments and reach your goals.

3. INCREASED CONFIDENCE

Negative self-talk is one the biggest inhibitors to success. It’s easy to see all of the reasons why we might fail. A coach will help you put in place a strategy that will help build your confidence.

4. BETTER IDEAS

It can be difficult to know whether an idea is good or bad, madness or genius. A good coach will challenge your ideas as this helps to improve them.

5. BETTER DECISION MAKING

We all have our prejudices, beliefs that can be detrimental to our decision making, by clouding our judgment. A coach will help you to see things from a different perspective and help you make better choices.

6. CREATING NEW PERSPECTIVES

A coach as a neutral sparringpartner at your side will challenge you to create new perspectives for your life and to pursue your goals.

Coaching, counseling, mentoring and consulting – what´s the difference?

COACHING –  the International Coach Federation defines coaching as “partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.” Coaching is about growth and change. Its a goal-oriented, solution-focused process. The client is responsible for setting the goals and for taking action. The coach mainly plays a facilitating role to help the coachee develop and reach his/her goals. Coaching can help you recharge, refocus and reach new heights of success.

COUNSELING – in general, counselors are trained to diagnose and help clients with emotional problems, the past or dysfunction. Counseling is focused on relieving psychological pain or treating cognitive or emotional disorders. While counseling tends to be past-focused, coaching is future oriented.

MENTORING – a mentor offers guidance and advice. The mentor shares their experience while bringing the “mentee” up the ranks.

CONSULTING – a consultant is an expert who is called on for professional or technical advice or opinions. Consultants use their particular expertise to diagnose, direct, or design solutions for the client.

 

FAQ

1. HOW WILL I KNOW IF YOU ARE THE RIGHT COACH FOR ME?

Mutual trust is key to a successful coaching process, and the best thing is to trust your feelings when taking this decision. To help you find out if we are a good fit, I offer a 30 min call free of charge where we will discuss what you would like to achieve and decide if we want to work together. A good sign is if you feel excited and inspired, but a bit scared. This means that you are ready to commit to the process, but part of you is “scared” because you know there will be some stepping out of your comfort zone involved, which is essential for your growth.
