Is Business Coach Training Right For Me?

Written by admin on Saturday, February 21st, 2009

Just a quick post about some questions you should be able to answer if you know that you need business coaching or not. This is a great place to start if you are unsure about getting business coach training or you are wanting to take your business to the next level, then you should write down your goals and if you know how to reach them within your time frame and have the will power to take action, then it should be easy for you to determine if you need business coaching training.

“Man’s mind, once stretched by a new idea, never regains its original dimensions.” — Oliver Wendell Holmes

Coaching may be right for you if you are ready to declare the following:

* I am ready to make a commitment of time, money, and energy in my own development.
* I am interested in coaching because I want to improve, not because someone else (my boss, my spouse, my colleague) wants me to change.
* I am capable of participating in rigorously honest self-appraisal.
* I am humble enough to realize I’m not perfect and that another person can assist me to become more effective.
* I am willing and able to devote the necessary time and effort to work with a coach over a period of several months.
* I am capable of trusting another person enough to talk candidly about my weaknesses and mistakes.
* I am confident that I have the ability to change my behavior.

Note: We have not included mentoring as a commonly used tool. Mentoring is considered to be a very specialized apprentice/master relationship and rarely involves someone from outside the organization.
