Effective Coaching and YOU

There are many coaching techniques out there and most of them appear to work well. Here is one method that we like to use, and when introduced to our clients, create a positive trickle effect:

M.A.S.T.E.R, this is how we like to call it!

This technique offers the “receiver” or “coached” 100% control over his/her potential. The acronym stands for Motivation + Ability + Strategy = Time bound effective rewards. In laymen terms, this means that when you are preparing to meet with one of your employees for a coaching session, he/she has to demonstrate for starters a fair degree of motivation to perform the job and ability to do it well, flanked with the strategical direction in which you steer the employee when you share your objectives. Combine all of these and you get the employee to create his/her own small objectives in order to get to the bigger ones, thus creating effective rewards (personal growth of ability and skills).

That you could easily measure with time (time bound). This method provides the individual delivering the coaching with specific goals and building blocks to work with, and the individual coached, the necessary tools to assess his/her own strengths and weaknesses and abilities to meet the desired objectives.

I always tell my clients that coaching should never be perceived as an “extra” task to perform, rather a joyful meeting during which the employee and yourself engage in a mutual agreement to work together in the mutual achievement of owns goals and development of owns skills to better perform—Did you note how we just closed the circle? AND we used the word mutual twice.

Coaching employees should always be a work in progress, during which the involved individuals learn to hone their own skills in the direction of a single objective: the organization in which they both work! -

Re: Money Does Not Guarantee Happiness - Thanks for singling this point out, Chris. One book that comes to mind that covers it in an overall approach is "The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People" by Stephen Covey. He addresses our inner life and the way it can change our effectiveness home and at work. There are corporations who have taken this model and effectively molded their business around it.
Re: Quote of the Day - ?"Everything happens for a reason and a p - Thanks for the quote and the link. I just watched the Tony Robbins video where he high-5s Al Gore. Good stuff! "Effective leaders have the ability to consistently move themselves and others to action because they understand the "invisible forces" that shape us." Also, "Biography is not destiny... decision is."
Re: need pricing help please - here's my opinion that was derived from the person I heard it from (Russell Brunson) I view internet Marketing products as a Ladder. At the bottom of the Ladder is ebooks and at the top is One on One Coaching. so the ladder would look like this starting from the Top ($$$) to Bottom($) One-to-One Coaching ($$$$$$) Workshops ($$$$$) Teleseminars ($$$$) Video($$$) Audio ($$) ebooks ($) I agree with this methodology mainly because of the convenience factor and value from the customers point of view.
Team Building - Effective team building doesn't seem to be something that most business do well. That's sad since it can have such a positive effect on the business and the employees. I totally agree that taking people out for an event and then laying them off the next day wouldn't do anything to make me feel like part of a team. I've also worked with many people who see through the phony attempts at team building. Chris
Join Hand with Developer - If you know about traditional businesses then you will know that they require start up capital for premises/ equipment etc. Web businesses in reality are not that different other than their premises are predominately their website. Effective you have a number of options which in order of up front capital is: 1) Design yourself with the likes of Frontpage or trial of Dreamweaver 2) Off the shelf solution 3) Off the shelf script and/ or purchased template
