Q:
|
How
does coaching work?
|
| |
A:
|
Coaching
is a one-on-one or group intervention in which you and your
coach form an alliance to help you achieve a stated goal
or build a desired competency. The coach assists you in
creating the path you need take to accomplish your objectives
and to sustain excellence in the target area.

Q:
|
What
will my coach ask me to do?
|
| |
A:
|
Your
coach will assign exercises to help you become aware of
your behavior and attitudes in the area of desired change,
and design practices to help you modify your behavior and
improve performance. Practices are tailored to each client.
Coaching is designed to meet you where you are and help
you achieve your desired outcome.

Q:
|
What
is an 'outcome'?
|
| |
A:
|
The
'outcome' is the goal that you expect to achieve as a result
of coaching. When you enter into a contract with your coach,
you will discuss the objective you want to achieve. The
coach will assess where you are at the beginning of the
coaching and help you determine what you will need to do
to accomplish your goal and what you will need to do to
reach the desired outcome.

Q:
|
Why
should I engage a coach instead of taking a class or attend
a training workshop?
|
| |
A:
|
The
advantage of working with a coach rather than attending
training is that the program is specifically designed to
address your specific concerns. The coach conducts a comprehensive
assessment to examine your areas of relative strengths and
weaknesses and discover the best way to help you excel with
the stated objective.
There's
another reason why coaching provides greater effectiveness.
Changing behavior, learning a new skill, or reaching the
next level of success takes time. Longer-term development
creates the space for you to build your capacity to achieve
sustained excellence.
You
will have the opportunity over time to practice and build
'muscle' in the area you are working on. In that way, you
develop your skills incrementally over time. In many training
courses, general information is provided and you must figure
out how to adapt and apply the information to your workplace
or situation on your own.
