Over the years I have been taught to be my best and work hard to accomplish great things. I think we all can say we are striving for a similar goal. This is an extremely broad goal, which makes measurement difficult. I believe each of us has an innate desire and pull to become something greater than what we are today. I call this divine potential. My God in heaven did not send me to Earth to fail, even though possible failure is inevitable. God knew that through this possible failure I would learn, grow, and become the person I am meant to be.
Over the past few months, I have worked with several people in individual coaching sessions. In these sessions, they have discovered many things and I have challenged them to become a better version of themselves. What I have noticed is that each of them wants to be better, but just not sure how to get there. Complaining, excuses, blame, and many other things have prevented some to progress and grow individually or professionally. The action and challenges placed upon them have allowed them to see things a little different and recognize their dreams are not out of reach.
What I have discovered is that people want more but don’t have clarity on the how. People benefit from someone pushing them to clarity and then holding them accountable. Each person is extremely different and this is why coaching is so beneficial. I take an individualized approach to ensure goals and results are specific to the person. Along with this individualized approach, lofty goals are set for each of them to accomplish success. Successful people have coaches, and those who I have coached would agree. I would like to share some specifics around major benefits of having a coach.
Benefit #1
Clarity of who you are, what you want to accomplish, and how to do this are all provided to find success. Immediate, behavioral-driven clarity is provided to increase the efficiency of progression. The key is to gain this clarity intentionally and not forced; this kind of clarity will always result in greater growth and success.
You may think you know your purpose and who you are, but when you are asked to speak your purpose out loud, the words just don’t seem to develop. Identifying who you are, your purpose and goals in conjunction are only as good as the paper you write them on, unless they are shared and put into motion. A coach not only puts them in motion, but will help in the development of goals, identity, and purpose.
Benefit #2
Individual and professionally successful people develop strong habits to maintain momentum. I call this habitual calculation. The process of a person learning better habits, putting them in action, and then measuring the success associated. If you find yourself being idle, being overwhelmed with “stuff”, or spending too much time on a given thing, coaching will help. Your development of that new, true person will be created through stronger habits.
Yes, you can create new habits on your own, but this comes back to speaking out loud your purpose. If you are not speaking out loud to another person what your habits are and how they are going, you may find the habits fade in importance.
Benefit #3
Accountability to your commitments drives success. High Performance Coaching is much more than just having an accountability partner, it is having another person fully invested in your success, goals, and growth. There will be times when, while pushing towards your goals, you lose momentum because of distraction or discouragement. If you haven’t experienced this yet, you have not been driving hard enough for success. These moments will sneak up on you, bite you, and leave you infected with a pessimistic attitude, an attitude that will crush congruence with your clear self.
You will need help to ensure the decisions you make are aligned with your goals and true purpose. You will never grow to be the person you have always wanted to be without feedback, true feedback. You will have to lower your pride to listen, learn, and apply what is shared. It may be hard to hear, but deep down inside you will know it is true.
Do you want to be a better version of yourself? Whether personal or professional, what would you say is a unique area that I have more knowledge or experience than most? These questions can be answered with action. The days and years of walking through life in an unconscious daze are over.
