QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT COACHING
Q.
What is coaching?
A. Coaching is a new profession. Coaches help people set better
goals and then reach those goals; ask their clients to do more than
they would have done on their own; focus their clients to produce
results more quickly; provide tools, support and structure to accomplish
more.
Q.
What is the basic philosophy of coaching?
A. We humans are great, that we're all discovering what we really
want and that we can get what we want faster and easier by having
a coach who's been there and who can help us.
Q.
Who hires a coach and why?
A. People of all backgrounds hire a coach because they want more,
they want to grow and they want it to come easier.
Q.
What happens when you hire a coach?
A. The most important things are that you take yourself more seriously;
you take more effective and focused actions immediately; you stop
putting up with what is dragging you down; you create momentum so
it's easier to get results; you set better goals.
Q.
Why does coaching work?
A. Coaching works for several reasons. The synergy between the coach
and client creates momentum. Better goals are set, ones that pull
the client toward the goal rather than ones that require the client
to push themselves to the goal. The client develops new skills and
these skills translate into more success.
Q.
Can you put coaching in context?
A.
A coach challenges you and takes the time to find out what winning
in life means to you. A coach is someone to hold you accountable
for your life, to make sure you really do live up to your potential.
Many
people believe that "hard work and doing it on your own"
are the keys to finding success, money or happiness. They believe
that a price must be paid to attain what they want and often that
price is poor health, not having enough time to enjoy life, strained
family relationships or lessened productivity. Even though this
effort may result in more of something, it is often not the something
you had in mind.

is a compassionate and intelligent person and uses those
strengths beautifully. I've gone much deeper into a business
decision than I would have without Connie's coaching.
It really helped me to make the important decisions."
