Business Coaching And Why It Works
|
|
In
professional sports, great athletes and their team have coaches to
guide their progress, support their success and spotlight any
weaknesses. With the fast-paced world we now live and work in, leading
companies and dynamic executives are hiring business coaches to keep
their winning edge.
Business coaches are working with their
clients both individually and in coaching groups to achieve specific
results or to reach important goals. A business coach help his or her
clients find success on a professional and personal level.

Coaching by telephone and how it works:
|
|
Business
coaching can be done in many formats and in many venues. John provides
business coaching entirely by telephone, as his clients have found this
to be their preferred method for working together.

Jenkins
coaches his clients individually and in groups. On an individual basis,
he works with each client once a week, twice a week, or twice a month.
These individual coaching calls are scheduled for 45 or 60 minutes
each, depending on the needs of the individual client. Between
scheduled coaching calls, he continues to communicate with his clients
by E-mail and fax. This frequent level of contact between coaching
calls allows him to review his client's projects/proposals, provide
just-in-time response to specific client questions and allows him to be
a sounding board when his clients are putting into motion the action
items discussed during a recent call.
A second form of coaching
by telephone is group coaching, and this is done by teleconference.
YourCoachingEdge™ arranges coaching groups twice a month, for 60
minutes per call. Each group generally includes 15-25 participants,
though YourCoachingEdge™ has the capacity to host super-sized groups
with up to 5,000 attendees. Group coaching is generally comprised of
two types of participants; the first is for employees within the same
company who are geographically dispersed; the second types is comprised
of individuals within a similar/related profession, but are not in
competition with each other based on geography. A participant in either
type of group coaching can easily participate by placing a direct call
into a central teleconference number from anywhere in the world, at a
fraction of the cost of traditional operator-assisted conference calls.

Why coaching works for individuals:
|
|
Coaching
provides a dynamic and interactive relationship helping our clients
reach their goals. Here are the five most significant reasons why
individual coaching works:
|
|
-
Telephone
coaching allows the coach and the client to live, work or travel
anywhere in the world with no interruption in their coaching call
schedule.
-
A
coaching relationship requires clients to make changes, improve their
skills and take specific action steps. As a result, clients reach their
big goals faster.
-
Clients
value the outside perspective of a business coach and know they will
receive honest and truthful advice untainted by corporate politics or
hidden agendas.
-
Clients
receive the benefit of industry knowledge, professional experience, and
a broad range of resources, which are freely shared. The result is
greater leverage, which leads to increased profitability.
-
A
professionally-trained business coach will ask laser-questions, make
big client requests, offer powerful observations, and provide a
heart-felt human connection.
|
|
|
Why coaching works for groups:
|
|
Group
coaching, which includes all the principles of individual coaching,
brings the added value of shared wisdom. Here are five significant
reasons why group coaching works for companies and their employees:
|
|
-
When
working as a coaching group, employees can rapidly share their
individual/team best practices, for the benefit of the company. As a
result, great ideas are quickly integrated and distributed worldwide.
-
When
working as a coaching group, employees can manage change quickly and
respond without delay. As a result, change happens more smoothly and
with less chaos.
-
When
working as a coaching group, corporate initiatives and revenue goals
are reached more easily. As a result, the bottom line is positively
impacted.
-
When
working as a coaching group, comprehensive training programs can be
delivered by telephone and enhanced with a variety of supporting
materials. This provides a timely and cost-effective learning
experience.
-
When
working as a coaching group, 100-200 years of combined wisdom from the
participants accelerate the transfer of knowledge. As a result, each
participant and their company reach their goals faster.
