Why Work with a Coach?

1. Coaching keeps you on track and accountable. Studies show that committing to someone else to do something exponentially increases the chances that you’ll actually do it. Coaching creates accountability to keep your attention focused on your life’s strategic opportunities and big picture priorities. It provides a powerful antidote to all those interesting options or “urgent” fires consuming your attention and time.
   
   
2. Coaching leverages your strengths. It’s a highly effective methodology to help you identify, understand and use your strengths and talents to create what you want. Operating from our strengths makes life easier, more rewarding, and ultimately more successful.
   
   
3. Coaching keeps you honest. And fresh. So often we find ourselves running the same old stories, trapped in the same stale beliefs, living out of the same musty suitcase. Your coach’s job is to provide you with a current, objective insight into who you are now. Coaching trains you to become more honest and objective with yourself, and develop fresh perspectives and ideas that are relevant to your life now.
   
   
4. Coaching helps you work-and live-smarter. Coaching is the enemy of entropy. It uses experiential learning to help you think more strategically, and become more self-directed, creative and effective. You’ll discover crucial information about the ways you use your time and resources, and how you procrastinate and sabotage yourself. Armed with this knowledge, you can develop more effective and enjoyable ways of living and working.
   
   
5. Coaching makes you more successful. (See 1 through 4 above. ) As Woody Allen says, 80% of success is showing up. Coaching is designed to facilitate and sustain a much higher degree of showing up…and hence success.
   
   
6. Coaching makes you warmer and fuzzier. It stands to reason, really. When you’re self-aware, doing what you want to do, and achieving your goals, your life is more fulfilling, exciting and rewarding. Which is so much more enjoyable and attractive than, say, frustration, dissatisfaction and grumpiness.
