Together they answer the question "What is coaching and why would I consider it?"
- It's intentional. You only work on what you want to accomplish.
- It's built on the belief that you already have what you need to get started. The Coach draws out what you want to do with what you've got.
- The coach takes a posture of listening first. They work really hard to make sure they're hearing exactly what you're saying. Where else does that happen?
- After all that listening, a good coach follows up with powerful questions...you know the kind of questions that make you stop and think. You can't answer a powerful question with an easy answer. These questions will stretch you.
- A coach keeps you focused on what's most important. You're probably not going to write a five year plan, but you WILL make progress toward your goals. One leader recently said "I get more done as a result of one hour coaching conversation than in a year of meetings." How about you? Making progress?
- You can be coached toward any measurable destination. If you can break down the journey into measurable steps, a coach can help you get there.
- Coaching is a relationship first. Imagine a person who helps you find the answers. And is all about your success.
- The old saying goes "two heads are better than one." You and a coach, working together, making things happen. See a pattern?
- It's fun. Ask any coach (or anyone who's been coached effectively). There's a serious joy about figuring out what you're on earth to do (and then actually doing it!)
- Bottom line: coaching works. Got something you need to get done? Got a change you need to make? Need someone to journey alongside of you? Try getting a coach.
