Many people think coaching is only for those who clearly “need” it. But, coaching should always be a part of one’s learning and development.
Why is coaching so important? Well, let’s start off with a few yes/no questions:
- Do you want to be a more effective leader?
- Do you feel there are obstacles in the way of achieving your goals?
- Do you need more guidance and support in addressing specific concerns?
- Are you unsure why, despite your best efforts, some things are just not working?
If you answered “yes” to one or more of these questions, you might just benefit from a coach!
Coaching assists you in:
- Achieving Goals – A coach can help you identify your goals and stay accountable, increasing the likelihood that the goals will be achieved.
- Individualized Learning – Coaching facilitates deeper learning. You will learn more about yourself, gain insights on how others perceive you, and understand how small changes in behavior can dramatically improve results.
- Improving Specific Skills – Coaching often focuses on specific skill building including communication, feedback, emotional intelligence, accountability, structures, and team cohesion.
- Gaining Perspective – As a third party, a coach offers a safe space to discuss sensitive topics to gain perspective without feeling intimidated by office politics or hurting feelings.
- Personal Awareness – Coaches can help you become aware of your blind spots—areas of work or personality you are not aware of that need improvement. Becoming aware of these areas allows you to work with your coach on improving them.
Performance coaching has a positive impact on one’s professional and personal life. As long as you are ready and willing, prepare yourself for the following (coaching) gains 💪
