Who Needs a Coach anyway?

By Ken Ingram

Quote from Muhammad Ali,
“The greatest lesson I've learned - is to have someone pushing you and making you do things you did not think you could do".

Quote from Bob Gainey (Montreal Canadians)
“We all want the team to get better, so the individuals have to get better. You can go and get other players or you can get the players you have to play better”.

All professional and amateur athletes work with Coaches in order to enable them to get that slight edge over their competition. According to the Quebec International Coach Federation, a growing number of businesses are looking to professional business coaches to help them tap into more of their potential in order to improve the bottom-line.

Perhaps you can benefit as well.

Here are five things to consider

Time, working with a Coach will enable you to identify areas that are important now and in the future so that solutions can be put in place. Leveraging your time is a critical success factor.
Fewer mistakes, it is lonely at the top and the old model of learning from experience is expensive and time consuming. Experience is an expensive trainer.
Stay ahead, things are changing at a faster rate than ever, if you are solving tomorrow’s challenges with yesterdays strategies it may not attain a gold medal financial year or get the results you want.
Balance, many of us are working harder than we need to in order to get results. A Coach can provide solutions that enable you to establish a new level of balance both professionally and personally. Your family will appreciate the change.
Goals, enable you to stay on course, keep focus and ensure that distractions do not influence your business. A coach helps you to develop and understand what is important in the process so that the right attitude and habits are developed.

Coaching is confidential and enables you to test, explore and discuss issues critical to the success of your business. A Coach will ensure that you put the ideas in to practice by changing your habits and behaviors in order to get the results you want.
