What You Really Gain From Working With A Coach

I’m often asked the question, “Why should I work with a Coach?”  It’s a great question because a lot of people are unfamiliar with what ‘Coaching’ is – let alone what the benefits of working with a coach are.

If you are in the camp that isn’t quite sure what Coaching is, then I have some information that should help you understand more about what coaching is – and is not.

So what is Coaching?

First of all, Coaching is a professional support system.  It differs from other support systems like counseling, psychology and therapy in that coaches partner with clients to bring focus to their goals and projects and ultimately create and build the future that they want for themselves, their businesses or their teams.

We ask what the client wants and then use our unique skills, knowledge, training, and tools to help them get there.

Well, if that’s what Coaching is, then another question that usually follows is, “Are all Coaches and Coaching firms equal?”  The simple answer is, “No.”

Not all Coaches are the same because we’re all different people with different things to offer.

They might have different backgrounds, training, specialties, and emphasis.  For example, there are some coaches who focus solely on your health (e.g., diet, nutrition and exercise) to address various aspects of your overall well-being.

In my company, for example, we have the background, Coaching credentials, business and academic experience, know-how, and tools to address a much wider spectrum of issues and generate effective outcomes for our clients.

Stories of Success 

Here’s what a few of my private coaching clients have experienced once they applied my methods.

An established businesswoman, entrepreneur, wife and mother was  challenged with managing her booming businesses. I helped her create balance, establish goals and achieve success.  She had this to say:

“My business has grown so much, so fast, I have felt like everything was out of control!  … The outcomes that you have helped me formulate not only in my personal life but in my business have set me on a positive pathway for freedom and success!  Thank you for all you have helped me accomplish!  …There’s more to do!” 

A young businessman, husband and father was stuck and struggling with career focus and development.  I helped him with goal identification, developing self-awareness and increasing confidence. He had this to say about his experience using these processes:

“I had reached a point where my work life felt stagnant and I wanted something more fulfilling.  Now, I’m working in a new role for a new company, that I am extremely happy in.  I can honestly say that had I not worked with Rob, I probably would not have seen myself as a fit for the position I am currently in.  Luckily for me, I did work with Rob, and when I found this position I knew it was a perfect fit for me and I went after it with a tenacity and confidence that Rob helped unlock.”

So, What’s Next For You?

So now that you understand what Coaching is and what ACTIV365 does, think about a personal, professional or team goal have you been wanting to accomplish.

Now ask yourself this:  What’s keeping me from accomplishing it?  Is it the enormity of the goal?  Does it feel overwhelming? Is it lack of commitment? … Or is it just that you don’t have the right support or resources you need to make it happen?

Now ask yourself:  If you had the necessary guidance, influence and support, could you more easily accomplish these goals and live the life you truly want?  If the right structures were present, what would that make possible in your personal or professional life that isn’t there now?

If your answers to these questions made you realize that a gap exists between you and achieving the success you desire, then it’s time to consider a Life Coach or Executive Performance Coach.
