Why Use a Business or Executive Coach?
Why does someone who is already doing great use a business coach?
- To create more excitement, joy and fulfillment in your life and business by continually moving forward.
- To set and achieve more challenging and rewarding goals.
- To focus on other personal areas you would like to enjoy more.
- To work on letting go of areas in your business and life you are tolerating.
- To work for something you really want.
What goes on during a coaching session?
You come up with good ideas to move you forward in your professional development. You and your law practice are the focus. Your business coach listens and asks good questions that help you strategize and make better decisions. Examination of your situation and brainstorming options takes place during a confidential forty minute to two hour telephone coaching session.
You have an opportunity to examine situations that are hampering your ability to move forward with the intent of ultimately moving forward. Acknowledgment of you and encouragement of your abilities occurs. Challenges to help you stretch beyond your self-imposed limits are made. Requests for homework are made of you. You will be supported in your decisions and held accountable for your actions to carry out your goals.
Business coaching enables busy, successful people to effectively develop and take charge of their practice and career.
