What is Business Coaching?
Coaching exists in many different aspects of our life. Think of Olympic athletes, typically each gold medalist has several coaches. Some are focused on the skill of their sport, others on the mental preparation that it takes to excel and others on how to deal with the public and the media. All of their work comes together to prepare the athlete for that one moment they’ve dreamt of and worked for.
Many business owners have discovered the value and benefits of Coaching. Business Coaching helps you plan more strategically, take focused action and improve your bottom line results. It provides you a safe and confidential environment to work through business challenges and plans. Business and executive coaching is the art of assisting people to enhance their effectiveness and maximize their potential. To inspire you to do what you don’t even know you can do.
Typically a business coach works with you to set goals, create your strategy, provide accountability, problem solve, provide tools, measure results, and refine your business plan. On a practical level, it is a partnership to help business owners deal with everyday issues in a way that transforms the situation and maximizes yours and your organizations potential.
In the last 10 years, the coaching industry has exploded. There are life coaches, executive coaches, career coaches, health coaches, retirement coaches and many more. Unfortunately, the coaching industry isn’t regulated like other professions, so anyone can call themselves a coach. Always check out a potential coach’s credentials. Coaching is also a very personal relationship that exists for a period of time. When selecting a coach make sure you feel a connection and can work with them.
