Why Hire A Coach?
Welcome
“Do not wait to strike until the iron is hot, but make the iron hot by striking.”
~ William Butler Yeats
This is the essence of coaching, as I practice it. If you want a coach to stretch and challenge you, then you have come to the right place. So , welcome! My name is Mary Miller and I want to coach you to envision and create the future you want – for yourself, your business, or your employees.
Why hire a coach?
People hire coaches for many reasons. In my experience, these reasons all come down to one common thread – people want to make positive changes in their lives and businesses. They want to create a new reality for themselves. They want to find a better path to get from where they are to where they want to be.
One of the best things about coaching is the premise that you already have – within yourself – the know-how to move into the future you desire. A coach provides support and structure so you can bring that information to your awareness and use it to make choices to get where you want to go. Coaching can be done very effectively over the phone, or it can be done in person. Here are a few questions to ask yourself when deciding if a coach is right for you.
- What is the biggest change you’d like to make in your life, assuming you had enough support to do it right now?
- By your own definition of success – not that of society or your parents or anyone else – how successful are you right now?
- What are you really passionate about and how do you want to express it?
- If you hired me as your coach, what is the first thing you would want us to work on together?
- What is your vision for your ideal business or career?
- What is your vision for your ideal life?
So, why choose me as your coach?
If you choose me as your coach, whether for personal or professional coaching, I’ll ask you to do two things. Be true to your authentic self as we explore, and take action to create the life and opportunities you want.
Coaching works best when the following are true . . .
- You want to make changes in your thinking and actions to achieve your desired outcomes.
- You are willing to make those changes and to experiment.
- You and your coach are compatable and share a mutual respect for each other.
- You can commit time and resources to the coaching process for a minimum of three to four months.
