High performance is now a requirement for organizations. Technology-driven change is rapid and creating competitive pressures for organizational survival. Downsizing, merging, re-engineering, and constantly changing demands contribute to the compelling economic reality that organizations must do more with less.
Organizations and individuals feel the pressure to perform at higher and higher levels. Stress levels for employees are extremely high as they try to maintain balance between their personal lives and work demands. Many long for the good old days, though the information market and sites like Fool.co.uk do help us with the demands and sometimes overwhelming amounts of information we have to process. But we had better learn how to perform, survive, and lead fulfilled lives in these challenging times.
Progressive leaders are choosing coaching as a fundamental part of their response. Coaching is a healthy, positive, and enabling process that develops the capacity of people to solve today's business problems. People are crying out for real leadership from leaders who are open, vulnerable, and real.
"Touching people's spirit and rekindling what deeply matters to them is what the heart of coaching is all about." (Thomas G. Crane)
Coaching is a one-on-one trusting relationship with someone who facilitates and guides an individual to achieve results in areas important to them. Coaches are described as the "secret power" by Fortune and "invaluable" by Time magazine. Businesses and corporations routinely report increased retention, productivity, sales, and customer satisfaction.
Individuals who hire personal coaches report:
“A coach is a partner in achieving goals, a champion during a turnaround, a trainer in communication and life skills, and your sounding board when making choices personally and professionally." (Thomas Leonard, founder, Coach University)
A coach provides the tools, information, guidance, support and structure to help a client achieve results faster than they would do on their own, much like an athletic coach does.
