Why my Coaching Method is so Efficient.
Posted on November 18, 2016 by Dr Pierre Milot PhD, One of Thousands of Health and Fitness Coaches on Noomii.
I act as a personal catalyst, as an agent that provokes or speeds significant change or action. My coaching is about getting the best out of someone.
My coaching is a method of helping others to improve, develop, learn new skills, find personal success, achieve aims and manage life changes. As a coach, I provide an ongoing partnership designed to help my clients produce fulfilling results in their personal and professional lives. I act as a personal catalyst, an agent that provokes or speeds significant change or action. As a coach, I listen, observe and customize my approach to my client’s individual needs. My coaching is about getting the very best out of people and enabling them to make decisions that will improve their lives. I always seek to elicit solutions and strategies from my client whom I believe to be naturally creative and resourceful. I stimulate, motivate, encourage and provide support to enhance the skills and resources that my client already possesses.
What does my coaching provide?
My coaching provides challenge, accountability, support, inspiration, role modelling, direction and validation. I bring ’’empathy’’ into the relationship, a kind of ‘’sounding board’’ approach to help my client clarify his/her emotions. I help my client to ‘’think outside the box’’ and identify new ways of doing things.
My coaching principles
Active listening is more important than talking
What motivates people must be understood
Everyone is capable of achieving more
Always provide support and inspire trust
Never provide answers and criticize people
Always remain strictly confidential and display cultural sensitivity
Recognise that all needs cannot be met by coaching.
How my coaching works.
Although it is often done on a one-on-one basis, most of my coaching sessions are conducted via telephone, ‘Skype’ or ‘FaceTime’. As a coach, I almost never actually meet my clients. My approach is just as effective on the telephone as it is face-to-face. This process is very convenient for both me and my client and it offers greater flexibility. The sessions can be conducted anywhere in the world – There is no travelling time or cost involved – telephone / online coaching can be arranged with minimum prior notice.
A typical coaching session is 30 to 45-60 minutes, either on the phone or one-on-one. It is usually complemented by unlimited e-mail coaching plus short (5 – 10 minutes) support calls as required. Depending on the objectives, work can be done in a few weeks, but usually lasts from 3 to 6 months and sometimes even longer.
People’s needs are different and coaching patterns vary. Therefore, since circumstances and timing are unpredictable, my coaching relationships do not follow a single set formula.
My services are flexible and taylor-made to suit a person’s specific needs. The timing and style is adaptable or changeable along the way.
