Business Coaching – The Elements of Successful Coaching

Posted 6 Nov 2009

What is Business Coaching?

All too often we as coaches are posed with a blank expression or the question of what does a coach do?

As a professional business coach, we use this expression to ensure that you can hear that we are:

1. Professional i.e. abide by a professional code of ethics and standard of conduct along with applying professional development through ongoing education.

2. Business. We are in the business of business. We specialize in coaching business’s and helping them achieve their potential through business development.

3. We are Coach’s. As a coach we cover a range of skills which assist in maximizing your potential.

They include:

Goal setting – Application of Strategies and relevant action steps to achieve these goals.

A professional coach is the combination of four areas including: Mentoring, Management, Personal Training and Sports Coaching.

Coaching is a synthesis of elements from:

Mentor

– To really believe in you

– To help you set big goals for yourself through vision

Manager

– To help you set strategies to work

– To assist in setting deadlines

– To keep you accountable

Personal Trainer

– To help you work out how to attack the big goals

– To maintain momentum

Sports Coach

– To see things to improve your game that you can’t see

– To challenge your perspective or thinking

– To provide objective perspective for altering performance

We as coach’s are often covering a broad range of abilities, however we choose to specialize in one area. For me this is Business Coaching and soon Executive Coaching as well.

These are the realization of the goals and relevant strategies and actions for myself as well.

Even as coach’s we need coaching to achieve our maximum potential.

Remember, If it’s going to be, it’s up to me! But why not get some positive assistance on the way?
