Why do we need Coaching Today?

Mobility (Close family members, who might be mentors, live miles apart).

It's a Hyper technical world (People need to relate to people and life…not just GB, RAM & baud rates).

The Smaller the group, the more critical it is to nurture, mentor and keep leaders.

Attitudes/Values(Best learned by modeling within a coaching relationship).

A Coach Provides.....

Objectivity: Be sure the direction you choose is the right one.

Wisdom: Become clear in your reasons for going in that direction.

Network: Meet the people needed to get you there.

Motivation: You want to please him/her

Goal Setting 1… and Goal Setting 2…

Write down What you want. Put this in the Positive.

Everything you will gain by achieving your goal. Make it as descriptive and colourful as possible.

What you will lose by achieving your goal.

Take plenty of time on this list.

Feel free to write down silly things, since no one else will be reading this.

Imagine yourself having your goal, going through your normal routine, what comes up, is it all positive or are there any doubts.

What will you lose by not achieving your goal.

A lot of this may be the same as above but you may come up with some other things as well.

What you will gain by not achieving your goal.

Again, you may already have written some of these down.

See what else comes up.

Goal Setting 3…

Look at what you have written, and decide whether your goal is truly worth it. Either decide to go ahead with achieving your goal. Or decide to drop your goal.

Goal Setting 4…

Relax, let go. You are now totally committed (if you decided to keep your goal) to achieving your goal and will probably find yourself effortlessly and naturally achieving your goal

Goal Setting 5…

The first step in achieving your goal is to clearly state what you want. Put it in the present and make it positive.

Start with your current, limiting belief. Or your description of the situation.

"I am underachieving in my studies" ,or, "I can perform better at my workplace"

Turn it around. What do you want instead?

"I want to achieve excellent marks", or,"I want to be perform better at my workplace".

Make it completely positive, no negative words allowed at all.

If you can't think of how to do this, ask yourself what you will have once you have achieved your goal.

"I want to achieve my ideal marks", or,"i want to be the best at my workplace."

Turn it into the present tense, as if it is already true.

"I am achieving my ideal marks", or ,"i am the best at my workplace".
