Perhaps you are wondering what would it be like to do something else for a living? So many questions and doubts are raised. Is it worth the risk? How can you afford to do it? Where would you begin? If the mere thought of actually taking some action is exciting, scary and overwhelming, you are not alone! This is where the right coach can be of immense value.
Coaching is all about transformation. You may hear an inner voice of discontent and you recognize your need to make changes. That inner voice becomes persistent and you decide you want to take action. You are ready.
How can “the right coach” be of value? What does a coach actually do?
- Helps you to focus, be honest with yourself and explore options.
- Listens deeply and helps you see what is true and right for you.
- Challenges and motivates you.
- Builds your confidence.
- Helps you step back and see the entire picture.
- Helps you set goals that match your values.
- Facilitates in the process of developing strategy.
- Is present in every way – truly caring about what you want.
How do you find “the right coach”? Ask the people in your life if they know of anyone. Google the names of some coaches you have become aware of and visit their websites.
Some questions to consider when choosing a coach:
- Do you want an accountability partner? Do you want someone to bounce ideas off of?
- Do you need someone to motivate and support you?
- Do you need help in creating a game plan?
- What would be your desired outcome?
