Even Coaches need a Coach!

Many people are surprised at the idea of a coach having their own coach and they imagine that purely by being a coach and having coaching skills you must have everything sorted! Of course having a powerful set of tools to help with your own personal and professional development is great, but just like anyone else we also get 'stuck' and need help with career & business direction, planning our future and breaking through any barriers that may be holding us back.

When I'm planning my business strategy or have a new idea for a product or service then It's really important for me to have an objective sounding board for my thoughts and ideas and someone who will gently challenge me to do and be more than I would on my own. It's also a huge motivator to take action on things that you may have been procrastinating on or things that you don't enjoy quite as much as others. It can often be difficult to see beyond our own self-imposed boundaries and a good coach can help you broaden your vision in addition to motivating you to 'just do it' rather than wondering 'what if' and doing nothing about it.

When I first experienced coaching, I found it difficult to see what it was the coach had actually done - one moment I felt confused and lost and the next day I felt that anything was possible, and it was only later when training as a coach myself that understood the HOW and the magic behind the 'conversations'.

Clients say that although friends and family want to help, it's hard for them to be objective and they are often 'advising' from their own personal perspective and values, and can find it difficult to really step into your shoes and ask the right questions. People often say that the same thoughts seem to go round and round in their heads without them ever reaching a conclusion or being able to decide what action to take. Sometimes it can be virtually impossible to find clarity and direction by yourself, you need someone to ask you the questions you haven't asked yourself, help you understand what may be holding you back and motivate you to take action and break through any fears.

So, whatever your profession, experience, skill or business a coach can help to move your forward in the way that's exactly right for you.
