Serious athletes, actors and politicians also use personal coaches to
help maximise their skills and abilities. These professionals are often
at the top of their game, yet wouldn't think of ‘going it alone’.
It's lonely at the top
Business leaders, entrepreneurs and self-employed professionals often
find themselves with no one to talk to or confide in about important
issues. Their own professional growth, their working relationships with
peers and staff, or specific professional challenges often go
unaddressed. Yet these individuals merit the highest justification to
discuss them, think out loud and receive constructive feedback.
As an outsider with no investment in the client's organisation, a coach
is free to address challenging and touchy issues in a constructive and
supportive manner.
Coaching is the confidential asset many professionals are using to build
and sustain their positions as high performers.
According to a survey of 4000 US organisations, the main benefits of
coaching are:
- Better bottom
line results, profit and competitiveness
- Improved
individual performance
- Development of
people to the next level
- Confidence
raising and personal empowerment
- Improved
relationships between all staff
- Staff retention
How
does it help them?
Coaching is a professional service providing clients with feedback,
insights and guidance from an outside vantage point.
The business of coaching is similar to the practice of a physician,
attorney or psychologist. The major difference is that coaching is an
on-going collaborative partnership built on taking action. In this
powerful alliance, you find yourself:
-
Taking more effective
and focused actions
-
Creating momentum and
consistency
-
Achieving results in
your business with less effort
-
Doing more than you
would do on your own
-
Taking yourself more
seriously
-
Becoming more
balanced and fulfilled
Every leader has their
own unique strengths and capabilities. John Muranka will consult and
create with you the key areas that will make the biggest difference to
your own leadership style and effectiveness. |
