James Olson-Murphy Companies thought six years ago when a company providing coaching services approached him. I thought these so called coaches where there to charm me, sell me snake oil, or take my money, and when I really needed them they would be gone like the wind with my hard earned cash. However, James was so impressed with the results he received from his coaching experience he become one himself. As coaching proliferates, the competencies of an effective coach are increasingly important to define. When choosing a coach, one should choose a coach that you can development excellent rapport with, and one that you know will help you to achieve your goals and outcomes.
Coaches become involved with their clients in setting individual goals and objectives.
Once theses goals are set a coach help to determine the order of importance of those goals. The number of those turning to personal coaching is an indicator that many people unable to reach goals on their own need guidance and feedback. Coaches essentially offer support when you need it. As a coach, I help to provide clients with the tools, support and structure to accomplish more. Much like the coach of a sports team, the client and coach work together on a regular basis.
