  • Considering Business Life Coaching? It's About Coaching Success - Most of us have been coached at one time or another in our lives. For many of us it took place in grade school and high school. You may have been coached in athletics, dance, drama, debate or some other area. Regardless, coaching is about creating a winning performance strategy and a successful outcome. Business life coaching and business coaching are no different. Their goal is to help you create your own performance strategy and design the successful outcome you desire. Business life coaching may differ from business coaching in some cases. Ultimately both are about the individual who is being coached. One may have a slightly narrower focus on business outcome but regardless, the success of coaching rests on the individual being coached embracing personal growth to change their thinking.
  • 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!" 2. "Are you watching the ball?" 3. "Why aren't you watching the ball?" 4. "What are you most aware of as the ball comes towards you?" Let's consider the impact of these. 1 is a command. You don't get any input or feedback on what to do differently and if you don't like me or feel under pressure, you'll probably elect to look at something else. 2 is a closed question.

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.

This is where business coaching comes in. Business coaches wear a lot of different hats and they work with a lot of different people.
  • 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. We are thus better off asking open rather than closed questions. An open question will start with How, When, Who, What and such like. and encourages the person responding to think carefully and to give a full reply.
  • 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.
  • Several Reasons Why We Can All Benefit From Life Coaching - What is Life Coaching? In my opinion, life coaching aims to help you achieve clarity and confidence to work through issues that are holding you back from enjoying a challenging and harmonious life. Life coaching is not about making simplistic judgments about someone's life and telling that person how they ought to live it. The majority of coaches set out to fix what is wrong with people.

Remember that even if every goal was not achieved in full, any kind of momentum needs to be encouraged and recognized.
  • 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.

  • 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. However, we can also see that perhaps coaching doesn't belong to this range of alternatives at all as it almost represents a philosophy of communication rather than a style. In many ways coaching is a means of adopting the advantages of each of the other styles whilst minimizing the disadvantages.
  • Top 6 Reasons People Are Afraid to Say What They Want - Have you ever had a client answer "I don't know." to the question, "What do you want?" You are not alone.

The first is: do I need to use pictures at all? And the second is: I don't really have to post a picture of myself up there, do I? So I'm going to give you my thoughts on both... *** Why use pictures at all? *** In the early incarnations of my life coaching website, I had no idea where to look for or how to buy image files on the internet. I assumed that it would cost a fortune to purchase website-ready photographs, so I gave up almost immediately and opted for a text-based website.

  • 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 previous articles I have examined how coaching may uncover signs of, amongst other things, alcoholism, schizophrenia, drug addiction, eating disorders and sexual deviation. This can seem an alarming list but I'm not suggesting that we all need to become psychotherapists, but even if you have to deal with such issues only once an awareness of what to look for and how to respond could be crucially helpful.
