  • Why Hire A Business Coach? - Today there is a growing knowledge of the term business coach. Not many years back, very few people were familiar with the term or exactly what one did. More familiarity was in terms such as business advisors and business consultants. Even though these terms are often put in the same category as coaching, they are not the same. When you think of a coach what comes to mind? Is it a sports coach?
  • Use coaching to improve focus - Keep your eye on the... Picture the scene, imagine I was coaching you on something as straightforward as catching a ball. We might conclude that keeping your eye on the ball would be a useful quality to bring to the task. Let's consider four ways I might try to help you do that. 1. "Watch the ball!
  • oaching Skills Training: What docoaches need to know about - Coaches need to know about coaching and coaches also need to know about the situations and problems faced by their coachees.
  • Coaching Skills Training: How to listen effectively - If we're going to put so much effort into framing coaching questions in the right way then it follows that we should be equally concerned with really listening to the responses we get. We need to employ the skill of active listening. Listening happens at 3 levels: Active Conversational Superficial The bottom level, Superficial, is what we do when we're hearing but not listening. We might have a conversation at a party trying to take an interest in what another guest is saying but really having our attention elsewhere, perhaps on some other conversation we suspect would be far more interesting.
  • Executive Coaching A Sucessful Venture - More and more companies are finding that executive coaching can help communication in the office. A business coach fulfils much the same purpose as a personal coach. In both cases, the coach helps to boost self-esteem, give suggestions on setting and achieving goals, and improve efficiency with regard to the goals you set.
  • Are You Good At Giving Advice? - Have you ever worked a business and wished you had someone you could talk to about problems or concerns you have? Have you ever wished you could talk to someone about ways to improve your business or personal life? Business owners are always in need of help. Whether they want to admit it or not, they need the help. As a business owner they may need help with time management, organization, personal items, or business items. No matter what it is, you can bet they could use a coach. Hiring a coach can be very beneficial to anyone in any business. Because of this, coaching is a good business to get into.

  • Business Coaching Defined - In this article we will look at the role of the coach and the client and define business coaching. One can define business coaching as the practice of providing support and advice to an individual or group to help them recognize ways to improve the effectiveness of their business.

  • Coaching the nervous speaker - Of all the arenas at work in which we might apply our coaching skills, helping people present in public seems to be amongst the most common. Many of the managers I train as coaches ask me how best to go about coaching their people through this experience. I guess much depends on whether we're going to be working with an individual over a period of time and develop them into an accomplished presenter or whether we're working with someone standing trembling in front of us like a gibbering wreck with 5 minutes to go before they're due on stage. Let's deal with the latter situation first. The usual approach to developing presentation ability, with its emphasis on technical skills is going to be no use to us here.
  • How to get revenue from your coaching website even without clients - Okay, so you're a coach and the way you make your money is through coaching your clients. Actually... unless you're one of the top earning coaches, you probably have to earn some of your money doing other things too. I don't know if it's still the case, but when I did my coach training 6 years ago, there was a lot of hype about how you could make a fortune within your first year, simply by coaching hundreds of clients. It wasn't true for the majority of new coaches then and it certainly isn't true now either.
  • Do you truly believe....that it will all work out in the end? - In the world today, many small businesses are wondering "How do I get more business without spending a lot of money?" I haven't purposefully brought up the topic of the economy in these ezines yet because frankly I believe if you buy into it, it takes over and becomes your reality too. So, I choose NOT to have a recession or have financial difficulties in my household, in fact I've spent more this year than probably the last 3 years combined in business and self development! I do understand that for many people, you cannot simply do that as it may be facing you smack in the face and I'm really sorry for those of you going through this.
  • 3 steps to linking coaching sessions - When you have a follow up coaching session with somebody you've worked with previously, it can be hard to pick up the flow. I like to use the Achievements, Issues, Plans model to help with this. Start by considering achievements, i.e. what has been accomplished since you last spoke. Remember that even if every goal was not achieved in full, any kind of momentum needs to be encouraged and recognized. This can be a great way of raising confidence and of course, confident people tend to make high performers.
  • Why Use Personal Development Coaching? - Personal development coaching is becoming quite popular in America and the resto f the world. In fact, it is a wildly popular option for people throughout Europe. The whole process is one that has been used for thousands of years.

  • Personal Coaching: Your Path To Corporate And Personal Success - Setting goals to achieve goals has been emphasized many times. It is part of a process of achieving success and getting what you really want out of life. Clear focus, fixed goals are the major contributors for achieving optimum performance. This is where a personal coach can help by contributing his ideas for setting goals. The role of a personal coach is to help individuals clarify their thinking, set and achieve their goals, realize their dreams, and create balance in their lives. Hiring a personal coach to help identify and achieve desired results is a relatively new phenomenon. There are now approximately one hundred personal coaches in the Greater Vancouver area, up from a handful in 1998. The personal coach is a facilitator, not a therapist.
  • Coaching Wisdom - Imagine the buzz in the room of 1500 individuals from 40 different countries at the 2007 International Coach Federation conference in Long Beach, CA. Each of these coaches has selected a profession that creates heightened possibilities for their clients. An estimated 30,000 coaches practice throughout the world today. Personal and business coaching is an ongoing professional relationship that helps people produce extraordinary results in their lives, careers, businesses or organizations. It can add value to your life.
  • Coaching Skills Training: The three principles of coaching - Coaching starts with a healthy regard for the potential of the people whom we coach. Such beliefs are demonstrated by the three main things coaches do in the sessions they conduct. Firstly they concentrate wholly on the people they coach in order to raise their levels of awareness. Secondly they use encouragement and support to make sure that the people they coach take responsibility for moving their own issues forward.
  • Why You Might Be The Next Greatest Business Coach - There’s no doubt that the field of business coaching has exploded in recent years. With more and more people starting their own businesses, and executives working longer and more hectic hours, the need for an objective expert to help stop the insanity is growing. People want to do business and succeed at it, but they also want balance in their lives. They want to do what they love and spend time with their family. Not too much to ask, right? This is where business coaching comes in. Business coaches wear a lot of different hats and they work with a lot of different people.

  • New & trainee Coaches - Invest in the best coach you can - Why should you invest in yourself? I like the analogy of being on a plane & having to use the oxygen yourself first. If you don't, then you simply aren't in a position to help others.
  • Management Development: Planning Everyday Activities - Management, as much as we complain about it, is necessary for any business to operate. Managers organize the company's people, track its cash flow, and plan its everyday activities. Some people are just naturally more suited for these responsibilities than others.
  • What Is Personal Development Coaching? - Personal development coaching is not a new concept. However, it is one that is emerging as a popular option in the world of business today. There are many people utilizing the services of life coaches and professional business coaches. They do this for many reasons.
  • Coaching Skills Training: Asking Questions - The coaching approach requires that we help the people we coach to find their own solutions in their own way. Asking questions does this in a way that giving advice or instructions could never do. When we ask questions, we encourage our coachee to think.Without questions we do their thinking for them. In coaching the best type of questions are those that probe for a deeper than typical response.
  • The Buck Stops Here - We need a coach to hold us accountable. Who is responsible for making the choices in my life? I am! Sometimes I'm listening to a client and I hear about what someone is "doing to her", and what she's being "forced to do", or how someone is "making her feel." I want to be clear. People don't do things to us; people do things for themselves.
  • A philosophy of coaching - We cannot prove human nature; we can only form our own view. One of the most accessible pieces of theory on this point was provided by McGregor when he described the idea that managers view their people in two main categories. These he labelled Theory X and Theory Y.
  • Bet you can't coach me! - A coaching skills training course delegate was recently explaining his frustration at the lack of interest and motivation his staff were showing when being coached. He explained that the normal reaction to being coached was for his staff to cross their arms, lean back in their chairs and adopt an almost 'bet you can't coach me!' attitude. No doubt these same people would leave the coaching conversation thinking 'See. I've won. You can't coach me!' How sad. I suggested that he adopt a less well known coaching tool called Transposing to help him work this through.
  • Coaching Skills Training: Communication and Coaching Part 3 - If you've read my first two articles in this series you'll know that I've so farf examined six communication styles and the relative advantages and disadvantages of each: Tells, Sells, Tests, Consults, Joins and Delegates So how does all this relate to coaching and where would we place coaching on the spectrum. Many contend that since coaching is about generating ownership and responsibility, it must be somewhere close to delegation.
  • Coaching Skills Training: Coaching & Communication Part 1 - Let's cut to the chase: Coaches communicate; this is their skill and art. Managers who coach need to use their existing knowledge and skills to become similarly artful communicators. If we start by considering coaching as merely one type of communication we can see how it fits with the more general approaches to communication that most of us already employ. Here we'll consider six communication styles that differ in terms of the level of control exercised by manager and team member respectively.
  • Grow as a Coach - Lessons to Learn - Growing as a coach is about taking on board lessons from as many places as you can: You can take on board lessons from your past experience. This will help you to see what patterns have got you where you are today. What your beliefs are, and how they impact on the way you coach. What motivates you, and what you have done well in the past, will give you some ideas of where your future strengths may be. You can take on lessons from other coaches. You can read their blogs, find out what they have been doing and what seems to be successful for them.
  • Coaching Skills Training - The ARROW Sequence - Reflection - The reflection stage of the ARROW sequence provides the person being coached (the coachee) with an opportunity to reflect on what's been uncovered so far. Depending on the underlying issue and how much time is available for coaching in one session, Reflection may prove to be a minor or major piece of the whole process. It is often in this part of the coaching process that true enlightenment happens; what some have described as 'lightbulb' moments.
  • Coaching Skills Training - The ARROW sequence - Deciding the Way Forward - "Pray for potatoes, but pick up a hoe." Anon. Notwithstanding all the energy we have put into coaching in the first four stages of the ARROW sequence, in some ways we have achieved very little. In truth we have thought, pondered, intellectualized and navel gazed but changed nothing. This is why the last section of the ARROW sequence - Way Forward - is so vital, because it's where we turn thought into action. If we've coached well to this point we should begin to see a rise in energy levels of the people we coach as they realize that they are resourceful and can move their own issues forward and become excited at the prospect of doing so.
  • Phobias: What coaches should know - When I train managers as coaches I always warn them to respect the power of coaching questions and to recognize the possibility that what starts as an innocuous, business related conversation, may lead to the unveiling of a deeper issue. Coaching managers would be advised to develop at least a little insight into the signs of abnormal psychology. Consider for example, phobias. We need to examine the cause and effect of phobias and the anxiety their sufferes can experience. 'Phobia' appears to be one of those psychological terms that have become rooted in everyday language. People uneasy with I.T. equipment complain of Technophobia and nervous maths students claim to be victim to Numberphobia and so on.
  • Coaching Skills Training: How do we treat abnormal psychology? - "Respect the power of coaching questions" is one of the first learning points that I cover with the managers I train as coaches. I go on to explain that they must recognize the possibility that what starts as coaching around a simple, work related issue, may lead to the unveiling of a more significant problem. In my view, coaching managers should develop at least a little psychological awareness.

In fact, nothing could be further from the truth.
  • NFL Preseason Betting at Sportsbook - NFL Preseason Betting could be really interesting because of a number of backups, participating in a games. And these backups often play key roles during the preseason. There are a lot of different strategies to bet during the preseason, but the main point of all systems is the quarterbacks play and the team’s reserves. You should watch the coaching staff, quarterback rotations, new talent backups and the situation with 0-2 teams. It’s really important to look after the coach bunch: new coaches want to win and veteran coaches want to see players. There are a lot of teams that have started 0-2 straight up during the NFL preseason, often they are returning home for the 3rd preseason game.
  • Where To Find The Best Network Marketing Coaching - Even the most experienced marketer can use help from time to time. Getting a business off the ground is sometimes very frustrating and many people quit before they can get really started. People who have the best network marketing techniques may very well have received help from a marketing coach. Before a marketer can even find a coach, they need to know what a coach is and what the can offer in order for a business to utilize the best network marketing tools in their arsenal. A good coach is someone who can relate to their customer, hold their customer responsible for their actions, and helps them remain on the straight and narrow track to what they want to achieve.
  • Who Needs a Coach? - The other day, I was walking down the street, and was stopped by a young man who looked distressed. He said to me, "Hey, man, would you be willing to give me $20? The fan belt on my car broke, and I need another $20 to get it fixed." I looked around, and I didn't see a car, or a garage. I said, "Where's your car?" He said, "It's just around the corner." My first thought? You guessed it - is he trying to scam me? I allowed myself to think that for just a second, and when I realized what I was thinking, I immediately put my hand in my pocket and gave him the $20. Now, right now, what's going through your mind? Was it a scam? Was it the truth? What world do you live in?
  • How to coach your boss - The relationship you have with your boss is very important on both a professional and a personal level. It can have a significant influence on your day-to-day job satisfaction as well as your long-term career success. The relationship is also important to your boss who is counting on you, and your colleagues, to satisfy customers, meet deadlines and achieve objectives. But keeping this relationship healthy and productive is not about 'managing' your boss: it's about understanding them, and you, and then choosing to behave in a way that gets the best results for you, your boss and the organisation.
  • Can we argue against introducing coaching? - Despite the compelling reasons we might offer for introducing coaching we can expect to encounter many barriers. We need to understand what the barriers are and how we might help others develop their understanding of coaching so that these barriers may be removed. "We've got enough on our plate as it is." Most organizations these days seem to be working at the edge of chaos.
  • Coaches and Consultants For Joint Ventures - Many Coaches and Consultants experience the "feast or famine, chicken or feathers" ups and downs in income - they're either out there selling, or they're delivering. This results in a yo-yo income. They have to deal with busy times and quiet times and increasing competition, and, because they're selling time, they have limited income earning capacity. Many clients regard the consulting or coaching service as a luxury that can be terminated as soon as cash flows get tight.
  • Money motivates in peculiar ways - In a house at the end of a cul-de-sac an old man lives a hermit-like existence. If he had his way would have nothing to do with the rest of the world, because more than anything else in life this old man values his privacy and peace and quiet. He wakes one day to the sound of three small boys playing football in the street just outside his house. There not being yobbish in any way, but it's a warm day in the school holidays and they're having fun and making noise. Given what we know, we might expect that the old man would react to this by bursting out of the house, swearing profusely and waving his arms in the air. "Boys!" he booms as he walks down the path, "How nice it is to see young people enjoying themselves.
  • Coaches Serve People, Not Fix Them - The first thing we coaches tell our clients is, we are not therapists. We assume you are whole, not fragmented and in need of fixing. That appeals to clients; I am not a broken machine or a broken part of something; I am not an object to be fixed. If anything, I am deserving to be served. That is to say, it appeals to part of them. Another part of them, like all of us, may recognize that there are many different parts of ourselves and all too often they are in disagreement with one another; and THAT part feels a bit uncomfortable at that point in time: what am I doing here? Should I really be investing in a therapist instead of a coach?
  • Coaching Skills: Training v Coaching - "You've done some of that coaching stuff;
  • Coaching at speed - Coaching sessions can be arranged on a spectrum. At one end we can place what we might think of as 'official' coaching. A quiet room, soft chairs, softer lighting and the time necessary to explore issues in depth. At the other end lies the notion of a quick conversation snatched in a natural moment at work. These types of coaching converations can be just as powerful providing we remember some core principles. I can understand this viewpoint and I think the coaching profession encourages it; it makes it seem as if coaching must ALWAYS occur at this level to be helpful, but it doesn't.
  • Coaching Skills Training: Presenting the Coaching ARROW - We know that to be an effective coach requires us to have certain skills and knowledge.
