What Everyone Must Know About COACHING

Imagine a relationship that is entirely focused upon you.

Imagine someone listening rather than just hearing you.

Imagine someone who holds you accountable to dreams and aspirations.

Whenever someone is asking open, explorative questions and listening deeply, they are coaching.

Coaching is simply asking questions.

A coach is like having a GPS. It takes you to places when you are asked the right questions.

A good coach listens with intentions.

Coaches really want to be curious about your life and tries to help you be successful in life. They have your best interests.

Coaching brings awareness, increases responsability and develops accountability.

It is impossible to improve or change something that you are not aware of.

In coaching the answer is always within the individual.

Most people do not think. People lacks awareness. 95 % of people rather die than think.

People are not equipped on how to think but what to think. School do not teach us how to think but what to think. Thinking is hard work. People don’t want to do it. We are not raised or programmed to do it.

In professional coaching the relationship is entirely focused on getting the results our participants want. They set the agenda. The coach’s role is to ensure the individuals’ agenda doesn’t get lost in the ebb and flow of the coaching interaction.

I think this are some of the things you must know about coaching.

***Why did I want to become a coach?***

Because I did not want to be telling and/or micromanage employees and I sure don’t want to babysit them.
Let me let you first understand the definition of coaching.

Coaching is the skill and art of helping someone improve their performance and reach their full potential. Coaching skills are often described as either directive or non-directive. Directive skills include:

Teaching
Advising
Giving
Feedback
Offering Suggestions

Non-directive coaching involves asking questions and listening versus offering ideas or approaches. The real magic of coaching is when the coach takes a non-directive approach by asking challenging questions and listening as the individual works on solving his or her own problems. I love this approach because when people come up with their own solutions, they are more committed, and the fixes are more likely to be implemented. Additionally, this problem-solving experience helps individuals develop the self-confidence to solve similar problems on their own. I love when people are independent and self-sufficient.

Great coaches help minimize the “noise” and distractions that are getting in the way of someone’s ability to figure out what’s going on and what to do about it. Great coaches know how and when to ask the right question at the right time, when to give feedback, when to advise, how to get the person to focus, and how to gain commitment.

As a coach I do not want to have all the solutions given to you because I don’t have all the solutions however you as a person do. It’s human nature. We all like to be advice when it comes to other people’s problems. The problem is, when you don’t give employees the opportunity to solve their own problems, they don’t develop. Instead, they become dependent and never reach their full potential.

It is so important for me to be given the opportunity to reach my own full potential. As I have been doing that all my life, (I have had the best coaches in my life, my parents) I want the same for you. I will not be able to live with myself if I take that away from you.

You have to believe that every employee can Grow and Improve. You just need to be willing to slow down and take the time to coach.

Yes, it’s quicker and simpler to tell and give advice and solutions. Thats what people are so use to. However coaching does take a little more time and patience upfront. IT’s an investment in people that has a higher return than just about any other management skill. People learn, they develop, performance improves, people are more satisfied and engaged, and organizations are more successful.

**What’s the Bottom Line here?**

Managers stop micromanaging and telling people what to do and stop thinking for themselves.  You are not doing them a favor at all.  Be willing to train, coach and make your employees think and be independent. If you don’t know how to do this I am here to help you. Believe me the rewards will be well worth the effort.

God Bless,
Jani

Not everyone is healthy enough to have a front row seat in our lives. There are some people in your life that need to be loved from a distance. It’s amazing what you can accomplish when you let go of or at least minimize your time with draining, negative, incompatible, not-going-anywhere relationships. Observe the relationships around you. Pay attention. Which ones lift and which ones lean? Which ones encourage and which ones discourage? Which ones are on a path of growth uphill and which ones are going downhill? When you leave certain people do you feel better or feel worse? Which ones always have drama or don’t really understand, know, or appreciate you? The more you seek quality, respect, growth, peace of mind, love and truth around you…the easier it will become for you to decide who gets to sit in the front row and who should be moved to the balcony of your life.

Have a wonderful week!
