Why A Coach?

A coach...

• keeps you on course
• gives you a different perspective
• is someone to go to  
  

When you're "in the game" you can't always see what you're doing...

• A coach keeps you clear
• A coach is there to refocus you

What is Coaching?  Coaching is taking on the commitment as if it were your own and taking a stand for the intended results.

A Coach Must

• be clear about the intended result
• be a stand and committed
• be unreasonable and make unreasonable requests

• Your Coach's job is not to tell you how - you already know how.
• Your Coach must be straight with you (call it what it is...).  The minute that doesn't happen, the power is dissipated.
• Your Coach needs to be intrusive when necessary.
• Your Coaching relationship is one of commitment.
• Your Coach must believe in you and empower you.
• Your Coach empowers you (removes barriers - sometimes it's getting you out of the way).
  
  

How do you know you have the right Coach?  The right Coach must

• have a proven track record
• have the "spark"
• be a Master of communication
• be formally trained to be a coach
• have a coach of their own
• be continuously learning and growing in their profession 

 A coach is a person who supports me to do those things I know I have to do to reach my goals.  He is a guide, he allows me to be consistent, he allows me to raise my standards, he allows me to grow.
