Find the right coach
Many coaches ask you to set your own agenda, offering support whilst challenging you to be both ambitious and realistic when improving your life-work balance, or making small but significant changes for your business or planning ahead for a satisfying retirement. Others take a more directive mentoring role, using their personal experience to advise and guide you whilst others take a role closer to that of a therapist to help you explore the reasons why you feel you’re stuck in a rut.
Which style is right for you on this occasion? Do you want to set your own agenda with support from your coach who will use their skills to motivate, challenge and support you? Would you prefer to be advised or directed by a coach/mentor or to talk about the feelings which you think hold you back with a coach/therapist? Would the convenience and lower cost of confidential telephone coaching be best or do you have the time to visit your coach or have them visit you at home or at work? If you use these suggestions to refine your ideas about what sort of coach would suit you best for your current purposes, you’ll be well placed to review websites, read promotional materials and evaluate presentations more efficiently. As all good coaches should offer a demonstration or complimentary coaching session before you make a final decision, book at least one no-strings appointment and allow your personal experience to guide you to the right coach.

Most coaches have qualifications and/or experience which you can check. They are usually pleasant people with a genuine interest in personal development. I coach mostly by telephone so my clients can keep in touch even when busy or away from home, others coaches have offices where you meet and some meet you at your home or work. Coaching is often arranged as hourly appointments once a week/fortnight/month, others offer shorter sessions when necessary or even coaching marathons if that suits their client best.

Leanne Hoagland-SmithAre your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website |
