Choosing a Coach



Choosing a Coach
   

Now more than ever, savvy business owners, managers, and senior executives are discovering the benefits of working with a coach. Whether top performers looking to accelerate their progress, entrepreneurs navigating the rugged terrain of self-employment, or new managers learning the interpersonal complexities of their work, smart business people are reaching the same conclusion. Mentoring fuels success.

Call it coaching or call it mentoring.

Either way, it’s a process that helps you better know yourself, deal more effectively with others, and become your own best advocate. Here are a few of the outcomes you can expect:

• Improved workplace communication skills.



• Better, more effective strategies for working with customers, clients, peers, supervisors, and direct reports.

• A view of yourself as others see you – so that you can build upon your strengths and minimize areas of weakness.

• Greater satisfaction from work.

• Improved balance between work and home life.

• Discovery of untapped skills and talents – so you can make full use of them.

• Better business and career path decisions.

• Accelerated leadership skills development.

No two mentors are alike. Choose wisely.

It’s a wise move to invest in a coach or mentor. Finding a coach is easy; finding one with the skills, background, and personality that’s right for you is another matter. At a minimum, expect the following qualifications:

• Able to quickly establish rapport and develop a trusting, positive relationship.

• An effective communicator.

• Unafraid to confront you with constructive feedback.

• Both approachable and available.

• Has a sophisticated understanding of people and relationships.

• Respects the sensitive and confidential nature of the coaching relationship.

It's a fact. With the right feedback and guidance, there's no limit to the level of success you can achieve.
