So how do you know if you need a coach?

Coaching works best when there is a significant gap between what you have and what you want. You need to be willing to change and to experiment with new ways of doing things. Is there a gap and are you willing to experiment?

The most critical knowledge is self-knowledge. Coaching offers four ways to help an individual move forward:

1. Perspective — gaining an overall big-picture of your current situation
2. Clarity — discerning actual issues, obstacles and options
3. Focus — discovering a unique path forward and developing a decision-making grid.
4. Action — accountability to translating decisions into long-term, new behavior.

Coaching can be the catalyst for new paradigms, personal change, and enhanced performance. Personal development coaching (sometimes known as life coaching), is a person-focused conversation that concentrates on bringing a breakthrough empowering movement forward in life.

Personal Development coaching can assist you in:

• Dealing with change and transitions
• Preparing for a new job assignment
• Managing conflict and stress
• Setting a new direction
• Improving self-awareness and understanding
• Improving team role and function
• Clarifying values, vision and contribution
• Developing decision-making grids
