Why you should seek a Business Coach?
As business coach, I will be someone who helps you move from where you are to where you want to be, and does so by solely focusing on your goals. If you’re not clear on your vision, then every single opportunity will distract you and impede your progress. You never really know what you’re capable of until there’s someone to push you outside of your comfort zone. Just ask any professional athlete. If a business coach is something you’ve thought about recently but aren’t sold, here are four reasons why you should:
To brainstorm brilliance
“No one is smarter than all of us - Jim Rohn”, The Collective power of many is far superior to the single power of one, which speaks to the value a coach brings in brainstorming new ideas. Bringing together the art of coaching and the science of business. Knowing the art of coaching is not enough; you must know the science of business. Sometimes it takes a new perspective to see an existing connection.
To bounce ideas
Nowhere else do you find somebody solely dedicated to acting as your own personal sounding board. A good coach -- pushes out all thoughts from his or her own brain to be present and just listen. Doing so allows the coach to ask powerful questions that unearths deeply rooted values otherwise firmly planted. The best part about this is the amount of judgment that the coach offers: zero. Unlike the local rumor mill in your neighborhood or office, it’s not a coach’s responsibility to opine about your position, but rather to suspend judgment in such a way that guides you toward your own goals.
To be accountable
Isn't it strange how easy it is to break the promises we make to ourselves, but less so when we involve other people? A coach serves as an accountability partner who challenges you to strategize and develop your goals while aligning your efforts toward achieving them.
To receive guidance
A business coach will challenge your thinking, goals and willingness to grow. As somebody who has “been there, done that,” a coach also acts as a role model because of the experience that he or she shares. Additionally, a coach has unique insight that broadens your business awareness. You need guidance for how to get from where you are to where you want to be. The key metric for success from coaching isn’t so much the cool technical tools you learn -- those will become obsolete in roughly 18 months. The value of coaching resides in the mental tools the coachee learns that help him or her navigate toward success both inside and outside of the business world.
