This is an extract from the BusinessTimes / CareerTimes section (8th of November 2009)
A list of possible benefits if you committed wholeheartedly to coaching:
- reaching goals quicker
- habing fun reaching goals
- receiving support
- getting ideas and directions (Note: I disagree on ‘getting’ – a coach must never ‘give’ advice and directions – so a coach’s questions are supposed to trigger something that gets you ideas and directions you yourself)
- achieving personal accountability
- being guided in setting a realistic time frame to achieve objectives
- getting insights (through a coach asking questions and some consciousness development work)
- receiving guidance in identifying clutter in life
- getting a clearer sense of self
- learning to see value in what you have to offer
- learning to use your time more wisely
- probably making ‘aha’ discoveries
(Note that I do not agree fully with each and every of the above statement – this is purely to share what has been published on the subject of coaching recently.)
