How does Coaching work?
How do I work with a coach?
You know what coaching is, but still not sure how coaching works? A coach and a client work together on different areas like business, career, finances, health, family, etc. A professional coach is trained to listen, observe, identify needs, and customize the approach to and strategies for the individual client’s needs.
As a result of coaching, a client:
- Will set better short term and long term goals, possible actions to achieve the goals and overcome potential challenges
- Will be more focused on achieving a specific goal
- Will be held accountable for actions taken
- Will eliminate “tolerations”
- Will achieve the goals as a result of efforts and focused and effective actions
A coach and client interactions usually are conducted over the phone, sometimes in person or even via e-mail or fax. The geographical location does not matter as coaching is well suited to professionals’ busy lives. The time and the length of the call are to be determined by a coach and a client. There are different options available and can be customized based on every client’s needs – 3 or 4 calls a month or one call every week that may last for 45min or 1 hour.
