What Happens in a Coaching Appointment?
Coaching appointments begin with a chance for you to report on your progress and end with a clear set of action steps you choose to take in the week ahead. But what is that essential spark between you and your coach that makes the relationship so transformational? Read on to discover four facets in coaching that lead to a fruitful outcome.
What Doesn’t Happen in a Coaching Appointment!
The biggest surprise for first-time clients is realizing that the coach isn’t there to give advice. It is not easy at first, but once you experience a conversation where your coach is more interested in your discovery process that telling you what to do, you will be ruined for the ordinary. And, you will be surprised at what you are capable of!
The second biggest surprise is that a coaching conversation is a judgment free zone! You, the client, brings the agenda, decides on what to do and when to do it, and is fully responsible for their own path. Where else have you experienced that! Coaches don’t give solutions; they help you solve your own problems.
Third, a coach is not an expert advising you in a particular field (that’s consulting), or someone more experienced who’s showing you the ropes (that’s mentoring). Coaches are change experts who help you discover the solution for your unique situation.
What Can I Work On With a Coach?
The answer is, "Just about anything!" Increased performance, discovering your destiny, getting organized, discovering and living your values, slowing down, turning a dream into reality—you only need to answer the question, "What do I want to accomplish?"
So if you want more from life—more growth, greater purpose, maximum performance—look into what a personal coach has to offer.
