You have to be struggling to have a coach. Not true – look at the phenomenally successful Roger Federer.
You have to be a loser to go to a coach. Not true – many successful business men and women use the services of a mentor.
The public and private sectors alike see the benefits of using the skills of a leadership coach. A government agency brought me on board to assist them in the personal development of their staff. They did not require the conventional group workshops but decided to use me for one-on-one sessions.
In an individual session, opportunities are created for the member of staff to be candid. They can overcome any barriers that might exist when communicating with other staff present. I can tailor my programme and responses more specifically.
We all learn in different ways. One-on-one provides the opportunity for the coach to maintain the staff member’s accountability, whilst giving them the tools to assist them in moving forward.
Sometimes, what impedes an employee from pushing themselves to the next level is a personal issue, rather than a competency based one. In this instance, I can focus on the make up of the individual, and suggest ways of improving self-confidence or dealing with emotional baggage. The employee ‘saves face’ and is able to move on.
Why would a successful entrepreneur give me a call? How can someone with energy, vision and drive use a coach?
One of the keys to being successful is knowing when to ask for help. These people are not afraid to seek support, or to enhance their learning in an area where they see a gap in their education. They recognise the importance of being accountable at all times.
It becomes a bit like car maintenance. If you do it on a regular basis, you don’t break down or get any nasty surprises when you do go in for a service. So too with coaching.
You check in with me on a regular basis. I challenge your thoughts and behaviour. We build up a rapport based on trust and confidence. Many of my clients say that they have a voice inside their head asking, “What would Julianne say now?” This keeps them focused and provides the incentive to move forward.
I don’t hold your hand, and prop you up. I empower you, and endorse your strengths. I keep you in tune with who you are, and where you are going.
“A good coach will make his players see what they can be rather than what they are.” Ara Parasheghian, Football Coach
