After explaining that I am a coach and what I do, I often get the question, why would someone hire a coach? This is a question of tremendous merit and value. A coach provides unconditional support for a client in reaching their highest potential. A client may have goals they are reaching towards and some will be attained and some will be replaced by new goals more in sync with the client’s authentic self. Through this process of discovery a coach supports who the client is with unwavering care, listening and advocacy. Typically, clients work with me because they have a vision for their future and want a partnership where, together, we can explore and refine their vision as well as strategize on ways to achieve the vision in the most effective and efficient path. For some this means accelerated sales goals, for others it is exploring who they are and helping them define and become who they want to be relative to their personal, spiritual and professional life. To expound upon the variety of reasons why someone would desire to work with a coach, I’ve compiled a list below.
- Courage to make significant change
- Create stronger, deeper relationships
- To make better decisions
- To gain clarity on my life’s purpose
