Coaching is being hailed as the panacea for all problems, a new mantra for personal and profession road blocks. But the down side of any new “Mantra” is also the ‘newness’ of the idea which gives rise to doubts about its credibility and efficacy of the process due to lack of awareness. This blog succinctly explains Coaching and the Symptoms which can indicate the need for coaching.

Six salient features of Coaching

• It is Futuristic
• Solution centric
• Action oriented
• Choice enabling
• Partnership based
• And Focused

In very simple words, Coaching is a process where the Coach and the Client form a partnership to find solutions to the issues at hand, analyse the possible choices and create a focused, action-based plan to overcome the said issues.

Like I mentioned in my previous blog, Coaching is a methodology which needs readiness to be able to produce results. The first step towards this readiness is recognising the signs that say ‘You Need a Coach’. Associating with a coach enables you to stay focused on your goals and keep moving forward with a strategic approach.

As a business leader, it is important to constantly assess your personal and professional growth.

Are you at a juncture where: 

• You don’t know the next steps in your journey
• You really desire for a positive change but don’t know how to bring it about
• You are unable to change the status-quo in spite of all the efforts.
• You want have a proactive approach towards business/relationship/children/team

This is where a Coach brings in a fresh perspective and enables you to have a plan of action with clear focus and methodology. A Coach provides the required guidance and impetus to get business leaders out of the rut. It is a creative, stimulating and rewarding process. And it begins with you recognising the signs that say ‘You Need a Coach’.
