Top performers in every area from sports through arts to business have coaches to help them reach and maintain the highest levels of performance.
The benefits of coaching
Just imagine a combination of your best friend, your most cherished teacher, your most hard-nosed manager, and your most positive guru available and committed to your personal development.
How much more will you achieve when these resources are available to you?
A coach will provide you all of this and more.
Seems a bit like counseling or therapy?
There are superficial similarities between coaching and therapy but there are fundamental differences. Coaching essentially is about commitment and development in the present moment to achieve future goals and outcomes.
Many forms of therapy are about fixing problems from the past. In coaching you might discuss past issues but this is only in the context of future goals.
Are there different forms of coaching?
There are many different names for different forms of coaching. Lots of coaches and coach schools have marketing names for different types of coaching. In broad terms you can fit most forms of coaching into five categories.
Peak Performance Coaching
This is very common with sports where a coach is generally a specialist in a particular sport. Peak performance coaches also appear in business, a sales coach for example.
Often peak performance coaches will have specialist skills such as NLP or Hypnosis. Many coaches have benefited from a good NLP Training Course.
You will find coaches working in markets that they have credibility in. For example I get a lot of clients from the coaching, training and NLP community simply because they are circles I move in and I am known in them. As a result I have more experience and reference clients in these Coaching is usually about personal discovery, so coaches do not need skills and experience from the context they are coaching in. markets. But since coaching is more about the client’s personal exploration and goals it is not necessary for coaches to have experience of the context.
Life Coaching
Life coaches cover a broader area and might be looking at different areas of a client’s life and their relationship to each other.
Executive Coaching
Executives coaching is usually about the challenges and issues of leadership and can cover anything from personal style, stress reduction to finding your passion for the role. Lots of executive coaches will use a personality profiling tool as a vehicle for their client’s to explore and develop their outcomes.
Special events Coaching
Some coaches will specialize in a niche area like presentations or writing and publishing books. Often they have specific experience, skills or qualifications in the area and they may not conform to traditional coaching models because of their ‘insider’ knowledge.
Accelerated Success BreakThrough Coaching Sessions
This is a highly specialized area of coaching involving leading edge psychological, NLP and Hypnosis tools to facilitate great changes very quickly. There are only a small number of coaches skilled in this area and also not all clients are suitable for this approach. Hence there is a lot of pre-qualification before using this form of coaching. For those it suits it has great impact very quickly.
What happens on coaching programmes?
Coaches are very individual in their approach. Also coaching is more about the relationship between client and coach so there is no set format or approach. Some coaches work just by telephone and / or email, whilst others stick exclusively to face to face interventions. A lot is Dependant on how you set up the coaching programme from the initial consultation.
Any coaching programme should start with an initial consultation where the programme can be set up. This would include duration of the programme, the sessions and overall outcomes and a whole raft of other areas that your coach will take you through.
After this typically sessions will be about updating from the previous session, clarifying outcomes for the current sessions and then targeted discussions of the current issues. The session will finish with action plans for the client to take away and complete. That said each session can be as individual as the client and the coach want.
Finding a coach
Since coaching is such an individual context it is difficult to fix criteria for finding a coach. Although some general rules of thumb do apply.
Coaching is all about a relationship between the client and the coach. Therefore in the initial consultation if the client does not feel they have great rapport that will allow them to be open and comfortable then it probably is not worth continuing.
It is also worth talking to your prospective coach about previous clients, experience and approach. Often when picking a coach it would be worth talking to previous clients.
The right coach will give you great value for money and could take you further than you had ever achieved without their support. It makes sense to spend a little time to ensure you get the right coach for you. You can find more in depth articles on finding a great coach on my website.

Research indicates that as many as 70 percent of U. S. firms still do not have successful talent management or succession planning programs. And yet many authorities continue to warn that, despite the current economic downturn, a war for talent is looming. Indeed, the current economic downturn may in fact create an additional hardship for employers, since it may tempt many managers to take their human talent for granted as unemployment rises. In short, the “r” word (that is, “recession”) may lull some managers into false sense of security as many workers delay their retirements or hunker down to accept extra work at a time when finding new jobs may not be as easy as in boom times. Executive coaching has emerged in recent years as a topic of great interest for several reasons, and employers should be cognizant of what those reasons are. But what is executive coaching? What categories of executive coaching may exist? When is executive coaching appropriate? How does executive coaching relate to talent management? How should executive coaching be carried out? Who should carry it out? This brief article addresses these questions. What Is Executive Coaching? Executive coaching is a process of helping an executive become more effective in his or her job. While almost anyone who helps an executive become more effective serves as an executive coach, a planned process of executive coaching usually involves two people — the coach and the executive — working together. Professional executive coaches may — or may not — hold a formal certification in executive coaching from any one of several respectable organizations. What Categories of Executive Coaching May Exist? There are various ways to categorize executive coaches. A simple way to do that is to distinguish between a job content coach and a job process coach. A job content coach helps a newly-promoted executive to master the job to which he or she has been assigned. Job content coaches are usually people who have successfully held the same or similar job for which they are providing coaching. Instead of making a new job a “sink or swim experience,” the organization provides an executive coach as a “life preserver. ” As a simple example, suppose the company’s board of directors promotes an individual to the job of CEO but board members are painfully aware that the individual is really not yet “ready” for the job. In that case, the company’s board might search for an individual who has successfully held the job of CEO in another company in the industry. Perhaps the coach is retired. The coach’s role is to provide on-the-job coaching, organized around a mutually-negotiated schedule and approach, to the newly-promoted CEO. A job process coach, on the other hand, helps a newly-promoted executive address interpersonal relationships. A common problem in some organizations is that a technically-proficient individual is promoted into management. He or she is exceptionally gifted in the technical side of whatever work they do — such as MIS, engineering, research, or some other technical specialty — but the individual is not particularly good in dealing with people. Perhaps he or she is weak on EQ (emotional intelligence). In a bid to help the individual, the organization commits to give him or her a job process coach to help him or her deal with interpersonal relations (processes). When Is Executive Coaching Appropriate? Executive coaching is appropriate when organizational leaders:
How Does Executive Coaching Relate to Talent Management? From the previous sections, it should be apparent that executive coaching can be, at times, a valuable strategy to use in talent management. If the organization’s leaders want to promote from within but feel that in-house bench strength is really not “ready” for promotion, then a job content coach can provide “on the job training” to help an executive transition from his or her previous role to a new one. On the other hand, if the organization’s leaders value the technical gifts of a worker but believe that his or her interpersonal skills are inadequate to meet the demands of higher-level responsibility, then a job process coach can effectively provide real-time help by “following the executive around” and offering advice (usually in private) about ways to improve how the executive interacts with other people. It should thus be obvious that executive coaching can be a powerful approach to use, particularly when the organization has not sustained an effective talent management program over time to systematically prepare people for the challenges of other, usually higher-level, positions. How Should Executive Coaching Be Carried Out? There is no “one size fits all approach” to executive coaching, and numerous “models” to guide the executive coaching process have appeared in print. Clearly, the best approach is to negotiate an arrangement between the individual who needs help (the executive) and the person who is to offer it (the coach). Ideally, that arrangement should be put in writing and updated periodically. Of course, quite often there is a third party in the relationship — and that is the “sponsor” (the person or group who requests the coach to help the executive). The agreement should clearly spell out who does what, who is responsible for what, and who pays for what. Of key importance is to decide whether the coaching experience will focus on the job content (what the job requires and what results are to obtained) or the job process (how to establish and maintain effective interpersonal relationships with other people). In job content coaching, the executive coach should:
In contrast, in job process coaching, the executive coach should:
Quite often, job process coaches will use “job shadowing” to follow the executive around and then offer “instant replays” and “instant feedback” on the executive’s interactions over the phone, by email, in meetings, or in daily interactions with others. Job content coaches may not need to observe what the executive is doing so much as what results he or she is getting and then offer advice — through face-to-face meetings or even through email, phone, web conference, or even instant messaging. Who Should Carry Out Executive Coaching? Executive coaching can be carried out by external consultants, hired for their expertise in coaching and their experience. It may also be carried out by anyone who has a willingness to offer help to an executive — and have the executive listen to that advice and try to improve based upon it. To some extent, the person who should do the coaching role should be appropriate for the type of change needed: does the executive need job content or job process coaching? (Rarely can helpers do both. ) Conclusion Executive coaching has many applications. One possible application is to use it to provide “on the job learning” opportunities for individuals who are perceived to be unready for promotion but who may be promoted anyway. Another possible application is to use executive coaching to improve the interpersonal interactions of otherwise talented people who may be lacking in social skills.
