If you consider the impact a professional coach can have in a sporting context for a second – having a coach is critical to a team or an individual’s success in their field. Whether talking about a local football team or one right at the very top of elite sport, coaches drive results. They are not considered an optional extra or as “nice to have”, far from it.
Likewise, executive coaching helps drive results in business and can be hugely beneficial to the individual as well as to the company that’s investing in it. Coaching should absolutely be seen as a privilege, not as some kind of slight on your professional abilities. Read on to find out why.
The Best Have a Coach
Being offered executive coaching means that your company sees more potential in you. On top of everything that made you successful until today – your competencies, your expertise, your successes and your performance – your company / your boss knows that you can become even better.
In sports as well as in business, a coach’s mission is to help you leverage the capabilities and talent you have within yourself. Your coach will value all the competencies that are at hand already and will help you develop further. Your coach will be your mirror, will ask you eye-opening questions, will give you feedback, will challenge you and will push you out of your comfort zone – all to help you become a better version of yourself.
“All coaching is, is taking a player where he can’t take himself.”
Bill McCartney, American Football
