Why Does Coaching Work?

The Seven Pillars of Coaching

1. There is a Synergistic and Professional Partnership

• The coach is independent, yet very subjective. The coach has a single job: support the client.
• The coach/client relationship is an equal one, which can be the model for the client's other relationships.
• Payment is made. The coach is not a best friend or a business partner.

2. Supportive, Frequent Meetings and Structure

• The client meets, often by telephone, with the coach regularly, often weekly, vs. "just when needed".
• The client works on goals and projects between these meetings and as a result, has focus.
• The coach is always "there" in spirit and the client can draw on this support. It's very helpful.

3. Focus is on the Whole, not Just Parts

• With the coach, the client invests in strengthening their Personal Foundation, to make life easier.
• Both business and personal goals are integrated into the coaching to ensure balance and fulfillment.

4. Better Goals are Set

• The client sets only those goals which are truly wanted and for which he/she is ready; no should's.
• Higher goals than usual are set thanks to the support now available in the relationship.
• Goals are based on integrity and true values, so they are more reachable.

5. The Truth is Shared

• When the client can see and say the truth, freedom and results occur much faster, with less work.
• The coach helps the client to develop language to fully express Self and articulate truth.
• The coach helps the client to get to the truth or source of what's happening vs. working on symptoms.

6. Client Takes Effective Action

• Focus in on awareness and action; not just on understanding life, but creating it actively.
• The client is willing to experiment with actions that accelerate growth.
• The coach makes sure the client is taking the smart actions vs. just being busy.

7. The Technology of Attraction is Applied

• The client is developed to be able to attract what they need and want vs. chasing it or trying hard.
• The client raises standards and extends boundaries so fewer problems occur.
• The client invests in him/herself and feels much better about self, and as a result, better stuff occurs in life.
