It can be lonely at the top. Whether you’re a corporate executive, a small business owner, or a mom who works from home, it still feels like you’re working in a vacuum. Where do you go when you need to get advice or bounce around ideas? Everybody in business, no matter your role, needs a team of peers they can turn to for support, advice, and ideas.
Everybody has a list of things that need to get done. Too often, that list doesn’t seem to get shorter. Instead, it grows to the point of being so overwhelming, nothing gets done.
What you need is a way to ensure the right things are on the list, push past what’s blocking you, and get things done.
To be competitive, a company must have delighted employees to service the outside customer. Delighted employees are created when the company shows interest, support, and caring for the personal and professional development of each individual. And the cost of training is small when compared to having to fire and replace an employee.
You wear blinders, we all do. You live with a set of beliefs that may, or may not, be true. You never thought to challenge them – to examine where the belief came from or if it’s actually true. But when you can see beyond the blinders, you see more opportunities. When assumptions are challenged, you see more possibilities. Coaching is the process of moving you to the heights of your own potential. For most people, there is a gap between how they are living their lives and what they truly want. Coaching bridges that gap.
