What is your perception?

For some people, seeing a coach is something they would never do, because

a) they are the lonely wolves, who want to do it all by themselves
b) it would be like going to a psychiatrist (“where you go when you need to be fixed”)
c) they think they can’t afford it
d) they don’t feel worthy or important enough or
e) they have no idea how they could benefit from having a coach

To be blunt and honest: if someone belongs to one or several points from a) to d), coaching would be perfect, because those beliefs, which are neither supportive nor motivating, can be easily changed through simple strategies that are in the repertoire of any good coach.

In regards to the benefits – assuming that you found the coach that fits your expectations, the result is the same as it is with networking:
What you get out of it is in direct proportion to what you put in. If you come with a “we’ll see”-attitude, you will get “we’ll see” results. If you are committed to doing what it takes to get where you want, that is exactly where you’ll go.

Coaching is about supporting you to take on leadership over all parts of your life. To take on responsibility for your actions and non-actions and to be comfortable with it, knowing, you do the best you can. It is about offering choice where you could not see alternatives before and finding answers where you did not even have the questions you need to move forward. Coaching is about allowing you to see further than you would dare to and prepare you to pass the obstacles that may arise on your way to get there.

Why do athletes have coaches? What do they get out of it?

[Tony Robbins'] coaching has made a remarkable difference in my life, both on and off the court. He’s helped me discover what I’m really made of and he has enable me to see things from an empowering new vantage point.
With Tony’s help I set new standards for myself and taken my tennis game – and my life – to a whole new level. [...]

This is what Serena Williams, 8-times Grand slam winner and Gold medallist, got from being coached by Tony Robbins.
Does Tony know anything about tennis? Well, definitely not more than Serena.
Did he ‘make’ her anything? Not at all.
Did he support her? Definitely!
Could someone as successful as her still improve? Obviously.

If people like Serena Williams, Tiger Woods, Andrew Agassi and so many others, who already have a life others dream of  get benefit from coaching – do you think there is something in it for you?

We all have a different environment we live in, a different “map of the world”, education, strategy…
When we want to step up, we are transitioning to being a person with new, different or better skills than we had before. Those transitions make the stories of our lives. They are what makes it interesting, challenging and rewarding. The bigger the challenge, the more interesting is the story and the bigger is the reward that we experience when have grown beyond what we thought we are capable of achieving.

The bigger the challenge, the more inspiring the story.
