Why do you need Coaching or a Business and Management Consultant?

“Happiness is not something ready made. It comes from your own actions.” 

Dalai Lama

  There is no doubt that life has its share of ups and downs, and some days if you count the moments you may think that downs outweigh the ups.  In reality, life is full of opportunities, since each moment of life provides you with an opportunity for growth and enlightenment.

Welcome to coaching, a partnership with a trained professional that will create a meaningful conversation leading to your desired outcome. The outcome is well establish at the onset of each session, and the coach’s role will be solely to create awareness, help you design actions, and move you along the path of your choice.  

Coaching is an investment, an investment in your personal development, in your leadership skills, in your business goals, in validating your purpose in life. I will add that coaching is an investment in your happiness, in your personal fulfillment. 

Take a moment a think about how you may be investing money now to infuse a bit of happiness in your life:

• Hair styling, manicure/pedicure
• Round of golf with friends
• Eating out at favorite restaurant
• Gym membership
• Retail therapy
• Weekend getaway 
• Designer suit 
• and the list may go on and on ...

While these amenities bring joy, more than likely that excitement is short-lived, and at the blink of an eye you return to your normal life, without making progress on those goals or opportunities that have been harboring in your mind, with a determine path of action.

Like I have shared in my intro, coaching found me. There is much about your life that could improve if you allowed coaching to find you.

 -- How would investing in your life and future improve how you show up at work or in your relationship?

What you move forward on your pending opportunities?

I invite you to think about coaching as an investment that you can’t afford to dismiss. 

Based on the research of coaching luminaries such as Marshall Goldsmith, Frank Wagner and Chris Coffey, these are some common reasons why men and women around the world seek the support of a professional coach:

• Treat others with respect
• Build trust
• Listen to different points of view with an open mind, without giving my opinion
• Delegate more effectively
• Stand up to individuals who undermine teamwork
• Deal with performance problems in a timely manner
• Collaborate with others
• Develop and link team strategy to business strategy
• Stand up for what I believe in
• Hold others accountable
• Focus on the critical few issues - prioritize!
• Become more assertive
• Take appropriate risks
• Build cross-functional relationships
• Become a coach or mentor
• Match my leadership style to the specific need of others
• Present my point of view persuasively
• Become more decisive

There are many common links between personal development or life coaching, and leadership coaching. At the core there are simple questions that may help you define what you may be able to gain from working with a professional coach:

• Is there a gap between where you are now and where you want to be?
• Are you struggling to find your purpose?
• What story would you like to be remembered about you?
• Do you have clarity on how you are showing up at work or with your loved ones?
• Would it be important for you to know what moves you?
• How would your life be if you gained more control of your inner energy?
• Do you find that stress is debilitating you?
• Could you use support in enriching your personal relationships?
• Do you have difficulty making decisions?
• Do you need to make major change in your life but can't do this alone?

Personal development  and leadership coaching is a method of support to bring priority to needs, wants,  priorities, and to raise your awareness about the best use of your core energy that achieve a happier and healthier life.  Your answers always lie within, and as your coach, my role will be to bring you to that awareness and empowerment.

"Happiness is when what you think, what you say, and what you do are in harmony." 

 Mahatma Gandhi
