Why is Coaching so Powerful?
The 5 A’s explain it all
1. Awareness: This is about helping you to become aware of the key behaviors that either help or hinder your progress and growth. You can’t change what you are not aware of
2. Alignment: Coaching works best when there is alignment with what you want to work on and what is significant to you. So the focus of coaching will always be on you the client.
3. Action: Creating clear goals and a written action plan will help you provide a road map for achieving your vision for the future.
4. Accountability: Coaching by design creates the conditions for you to take responsibility for your growth, and provides built-in accountability because the coach will check in on your progress toward agreed-upon action items from the last coaching session.
5. Acceleration: Due to the clarity of goals, support in overcoming obstacles, alignment on the focus of the coaching, a written action plan, and a committed coach that holds the coachee accountable, the pace in which you will achieves overall results is often significantly accelerated.
