Here are 10 things you should know. 

Together they answer the question "What is coaching and why would I consider it?"
​

1. It's intentional.  You only work on what you want to accomplish.
2. 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.
3. 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?
4. 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.
5. 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?
6. 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.
7. Coaching is a relationship first.  Imagine a person who helps you find the answers.  And is all about your success.
8. The old saying goes "two heads are better than one."  You and a coach, working together, making things happen.  See a pattern?
9. 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!)
10. 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.

Now that you're armed with all this new information, why wouldn't you consider coaching?
