What Personal and Business Coaches Do
By: Thomas Leonard - one of the founders of Coach University
They help people improve both their personal and professional lives. They help people to solve problems quickly.
They're not a financial adviser, although they challenge their clients to earn more and spend wisely. They are not family counselors, but they how to communicate better in business and at home. They are not corporate consultants, yet they counsel business people on strategy and leadership. They are not career counselors, but they help employees to rise through the ranks. And they are not teachers, but they show their clients how to get more of what they want.
They are personal and business coaches. They spend their days helping their clients to succeed, on their terms. They chat on the telephone with a dozen clients during an average day and help them to set goals, make changes, solve problems, improve their outlook and, quite simply, to go for it. They coach anyone who really wants to make important changes in their life.
Coaches develop a personal partnership with their clients. You may want coaching in personal areas such as solving relationship and financial problems, improving time and stress management and increasing your quality of life. Or on business matters such as making a difficult career change, starting a business, expanding your business or simply getting ahead, faster.
During coaching sessions, Coaches listen a lot, ask key questions, share what they see and make recommendations. But the most important part of the coaching session is the back and forth discussion and sharing of ideas. It is a collaborative process, of working together to create a solution to a problem or develop a long-term strategy for success; the coach is not just an "advice dispenser.
