Hey ,
Do you love to read?
If you love personal development and leadership, you are a reader.
You are reading books to help you grow, expand your mind and your thinking, improve your health and relationships and to generally motivate you to level up your life.
I get it! I love reading this stuff too. In fact, I can't keep up with everything on my audible and the collection of books "made out of paper" (described by my friend's 5 year old).
There's always a new perspective and insight I get from reading. With each new insight, I'm eager to discuss it and share it with my husband. And, it makes me a bit more interesting at dinner conversations when socializing too. Ahh... socializing. That was fun.
Here's the thing, having these awesome insights and perspectives are great. But creating the structure of implementation, well, not so easy.
There's a big difference when you go from reading a book or taking an online course or webinar to working with a coach.
Having someone to lift you up, who's there with you step by step and who has the perspective and the skills to get you to that next level in every areal of your life is the difference between "trying" to change and true "transformation".
Why hire a coach when you can read a book, take a course or listen to a podcast?
It comes down to these 4 things:
- CLARITY - clarity brings a new level of focus, understanding and certainty and confidence to where you are at and where you are going. It's hard to see it when you are in it and coaching can help you see from a new perspective and operationalize the breakthroughs that you have.
- CONGRUENCE - a coach keeps you congruent. If you said you were going to do something last week, a coach is going to ask you about it and keep you congruent. If you say something and you don't stick to it, your coach is someone who has your best interest in mind, with no judgement. Your coach will keep you at your highest level of congruence and will help get you back on track.
- CHALLENGE - you need someone to push you to that next level. To challenge the way you treat people, challenge your distractions and also challenge you to rise to your higher self. So few people around you will challenge you to perform better. The value of having a coach is that they keep you on a timeline of accelerated growth.
- COMARADERIE - No one wants to go it alone in life. When you start to achieve real things, you want to have someone to brainstorm with! Someone to share the private and internal stuff, doubts, fears and insecurities. Someone who will listen and reflect at a level that illicit's more creativity from you. Your coach will give you the jolt
of clarity and perspective to create the AHA's, re-energize you and give you the clarity and confidence to move forward.
"Coaching is unlocking a person's potential to maximize their growth"
~John Whitmore~
If you want to become better in all areas of your life and become a real high performer, you need a coach that has a plan for you.
Coaching can transform your life. If you have the opportunity to work with a coach, do it.
