What are the benefits of getting coaching, both personally and professionally?
— Tom R.
Coaching is valuable for anyone seeking to grow and reach greater self-knowing and satisfaction as they redefine, for themselves, what “success” means and wherever they are on their professional and personal journey. Selecting a coach, mentor, and guide is not a light endeavor, nor should it be.
Before you leap blindly, come up with your Must Haves and Must Not Haves in your envisioned coaching relationship container. You don’t have to know all the ins and outs, but certainly what is it you are seeking as your desired outcomes? Even if it is not buttoned down, it’s just a starting point. Based on what your desires are, it will help you sort through the type of coaching that is right for you at this time. If you are an experienced already-arrived professional, then find someone who can meet you not only where you are, but who is already on the path you seek so they can illuminate the way forward. As a newly arriving professional on the move or perhaps seeking a new vistas, link up with a coaching partner who has been there, done that and who is still walking the edge of innovation. Same counsel whether you are seeking coaching for yourself, your C-suite board, or across the enterprise.
If you, like most of us, aren’t clear on your bigger picture with so much in flux, then make sure you align with an experienced coach who is process-oriented along with knowledge in other modalities and specializes in realms that align with your desired futures.
Perhaps as a leader in these times, you would do well with a seasoned confidante who illuminates the way forward so you can figure out what it is you are needing to future proof your leadership, while ensuring you and your people can best navigate the slippery slopes of these VUCA Times to keep your doors open and to ensure booming times ahead .
Or perhaps you are feeling the pull as many midlifers and 60-plussers are to make the Grand Return into the fulltime or contractor roles and need to map out your passage so you can truly radically reinvent a legacy future – all while avoiding the Greek Sirens calling you away attempting to disrupt your return by not doing your due diligence, setting boundaries, overworking, burning out, doing the same old, same old dance to the same old tunes, just in new times.
The more you know what matters most to you…and what you want in a confidante, the easier it will be to filter out all the not-a-good-fits that will show up to test you. When you find the “right” fit (not perfection, but perfected) you’ll know it. Then it’s up to you to gauge your willingness to commit to a really-go-for-your-greatest-version-of-YOU! Yes, in every domain of your world. By entering into a truly transformational Whole Brain Foresight™ coaching relationship with a skilled world-class masterful coach, everything shifts. In your own time. No high drama. No back slipping. It just is.
Make sure whomever shows up for you is credentialed, a certified coach. The real deal! You deserve only the greatest coach for you. Otherwise why bother?
