15 Reasons Coaching Is Worth It
Clarity:
- More purposeful and structured questions and space for honest reflection.
Perspective:
- There are angles that you have not seen, that could change everything.
Focus:
- A symptom of poor clarity, commitment, or priority.
Accountability:
- Convert plans, concepts, principles and ideas to real action and impact, and actually do them consistently.
Disruption:
- To break the habit loops that are stuck on repeat.
Kickstart:
- To finally begin the thing you keep saying you really want to do, but haven't on your own.
Brainstorming and Ideation:
- Some solutions only come from using imagination and combining it with others.
Support and Camaraderie:
- Get connected with others who get your beliefs, dreams, and vision and help enlarge it, not squash it.
Personalization:
- Thoughtful customized catered recommendations, strategies, plans, and tactics matched to your unique needs, goals and circumstances. Not a one size fits all questionnaires or report.
No built in bias, hidden motivations, or competing interests:
- Company Executives, Investors, Bosses, Family, Teammates and Friends, usually are directly affected by your actions, choices, and behavior. A coach just wants for you to succeed, have growth and breakthroughs, tell the world about the great impact you got from it, and be paid fairly for helping you make that finally happen.
Guaranteed Engagement and Dedication:
- A mentor can help you when it makes sense for them. A coach has a plan and a schedule, and a timeline and a responsibility to help you actually make things happen.
Alignment:
- Sometimes a coach is the only way to see that what you are currently doing is not consistent with what you want or care most about. They are trained to walk you through that process, to help you identify the gaps and opportunities, with clear course correction commitments, follow up, and encouragement that honors your struggles along the way and helps you with a plan to move through them.
Awareness:
- A coach helps to keep you current on what is working and what is changing, because the nature of their experience and the volume and variety of exposure in the conversations they have in their line of work gives them the unmatched ability to keep a live pulse on every facet of the evolving landscape that they play in.
The Ultimate Benefit: Your Time and Energy :
- You can figure a lot out for yourself with books or courses, or podcasts, or lots of AI and Googling and Youtube. Just remember to ask yourself... What is that process costing you in frustration, and in terms of your time, attention, momentum, freedom, results, enjoyment, and relationships? And did you really find what you were looking for? Yes! Great! Now what are you actually doing with it? Or was it just fun to learn and file away for some rainy day when you are "ready".
