What is coaching?
Coaching is a conversation that calls forth the best in all of you - mind, body and emotions. Like top athletes, top professionals are using coaches to keep them growing, learning, and improving. From R&D groups maximizing people processes, to business leaders moving to new levels of responsibility, to individuals making their dreams reality, a coach helps keep the focus, hone skills, and take action for measurable results.
Coaching allows you to:
- Break new ground,
- See things differently,
- Know what really matters, and
- Experience yourself and your work differently.
Coaching is for individuals or groups who want to expand their definition of great work and lead satisfying, balanced lives. As change accelerates, the value of coaching increases. Your growth can be as concrete as adding a skill or as far-reaching as changing what you think is possible.
In a survey of executives who have used coaches, 28% said they had boosted quantifiable job performance by $500,000 to $1 million. They also reported better relationships with others (77%) and increased job satisfaction (61%). (Fortune, 2/19/01)
