Coaching is the bridge of transition. The coach is the connection between where you are and where you want to be. The coach integrates, facilitates, and shortens the adjustment period smoothly and coherently. Coaching builds and maintains solid relationships. Coaches identify hidden patterns that prevent high quality, collaborative relationships.
Coaches make interventions respectfully to bridge to more collaborative behavior.
Coaching accelerates the development of high performance teams. Leaders are able to transfer their learning to their own teams. Coaching creates increased revenues. A coach working with a sales team can add support structure, productivity, and improved selling language. Coaches can set 'gap goals' into which the team grows quickly and makes changes required to sustainable performance.
