What is a coach? - Enhance your ability with a coach

Posted on April 07, 2015 by Chip Justice, One of Thousands of Leadership Coaches on Noomii.

The question I get most often, “What is a coach?” A coach is a person that will assist you, not with going from 1 to 10, or from 1-5; you get a coach when you want to go from 6 to 10. “In what?” you may ask. The answer, everything.

There are mental coaches that can help you with your poker game. There are heath coaches that help you with healthy food intake. There are creativity coaches that inspire even more then a muse. There are spiritual coaches to help you with defining some of your biggest and interpersonal beliefs. There are coaches that help you control your ADD/ADHD . And there are divorce coaches to help you through one of many of life’s challenges. Basically, there is a coach for everything. The question I would ask you is, do you want to realize your full potential or are you satisfied with the status quo?

So how do you know if you need a coach. If you want to enhance your abilities, be more successful in your career and life, if you want to maximize the positive side of every situation, Working with a coach will provide you with confidence, growth, adventure and safety. Coaching will help you with identifying your resources to help you accomplishing your goal, plan for tomorrow and get you to where you want to be in life.

So when you are not sure of the answer, you want to define the way forward, you want to be accountable to yourself, you need to define the solution, find a coach that works with and for you. A coach will motivate you do it again. Identify what you need in a coach. A coach that will recognize and leverage your strengths, and consciously build a few core skills to help you obtain your goal/desire.
