What is coaching and is it right for me?

This article takes a look at what coaching is and if it is right for you. Many people have lots of questions when it comes to coaching...
What you need to pay attention to in coaching is this question – “Is coaching right for me?” I mean, how do you know? If you feel you are not achieving the level of success you are capable of – or you know what to do to achieve your goals but you’re not doing those things on a consistent basis – or if you know where you want to go but need some guidance on how to get there- coaching can absolutely be a good fit for you. A lot of coaching clients ARE following their dreams, they know exactly where they are going, but they don’t have the support they need from family or friends – in those cases coaches provide a great support system. Good coaches can also help you discover what it is you truly want from life or your career if you’re feeling lost.
A lot of people are wondering, and you may be asking yourself, “What exactly is coaching?” The best way to look at it is like a coach in sports. Coaches help individuals tap into their talents and hone their skills and keep them on track to achieve a specific goal. They help their client tap into their fullest potential. Michael Jordan had Phil Jackson and Tiger Woods had Hank Haney. Coaches also offer insight and perspective along the way and really hold you accountable to your goals – to make sure you find that success you are looking for – in life, business, relationships. You decide in what area you want coaching in. Depending on your goal it can take months – or even years, but a good coach keeps you on track and helps you measure your progress along the way.
Without coaching you may continue to feel stuck – or not realize your full potential – you may lose something special to you. The most important thing for you to do today is to get coaching if in any of in any of these situations – weather you hire David Brownlee or don’t hire David Brownlee – don’t let your dreams and desires slip away.
A great coach can help you on your journey to success that you never thought was possible before, or just out of your reach. And as you see yourself progress and move forward towards your goals, you feel alive and happier than maybe you’ve felt in a long time. That’s powerful stuff.
Wishing you success,
Coach David Brownlee
