Definition of Coaching
Coaching is an ongoing professional relationship that helps
people produce extraordinary results in their lives, careers,
businesses or organizations. Through the process of coaching,
clients deepen their learning, improve their performance,
and enhance their quality of life. In each meeting or call,
the Coach listens and contributes observations and questions.
This interaction creates clarity and moves the distributor
into action.
Coaching accelerates progress by providing focus and awareness.
It concentrates on where you are now and what you are willing
to do to get where you want to be in the future, recognizing
that results are a matter of the intentions, choices and actions,
Supported by a good Coach's efforts and application of the
coaching process, amazing things can happen.
Why Coaching is Important
In a day and age when we have become so reactive and response
to the daily needs of life, coaching is the opportunity to
break free. In a coaching relationship you are in the seat
of power and control and can proactively direct your life
in the direction you want to go. In any area, career, relationship,
health, community, when you are being coached you are asked
two very important questions. First, what do you want? Second,
what are you willing to do about it? These questions are potent
and confronting, but the whole idea behind coaching is that
you are hiring someone to supportively hold you accountable
for getting what you want. You determine what that is.
You'd be amazed at how hard this can be for some. We are
clear about some of our dreams and desires. I often hear,
"I want to be paid well for doing work that I love."
"I want more quality time with my family and friends."
"I want to be healthy and fit, without having to go to
the gym." "I want meaning and purpose in my life."
But you might also be shocked to learn that quite often people
say to me, "My dream is to have a dream."
So mired in reality, so busy living from our clocks and calendars,
we often forget what matters to us or have little time to
even think about it. That's where a Coach comes in. Your Coach
can help you get in touch with your purpose and passion, your
dreams and hopes, overcomes your fears and doubts and most
importantly support you ongoingly in taking the necessary
steps, week by week, day by day for getting what you want.
Even as a Dream CoachT, I use a Coach. A Coach listens intently,
asks clarifying questions, challenges my assumptions, helps
me dream big and makes sure I do the important things I say
I will do in order to have the precious things I say I want.
It is a partnership based on intention, agreement, integrity
and relationship.
The bottom line is, we can't do it alone. Some of us think
we can, but with a Coach you will be challenged, stretched
and empowered. You will dream bigger dreams, have insights,
uncover and hopefully remove limitations. With a Coach you
will increase your chances at being successful and you will
be celebrated for it.
The Dream CoachT Philosophy of Coaching
There are many types of coaching programs available. As the
founder of Dream CoachT University I have certified Coaches
worldwide in a specific process. Simply put, a Dream CoachT
assists others in getting what they want personally and professionally.
This process helps people find their life's purpose, ignite
their passion, clarify their dreams, remove all obstacles
(including not having enough time or money) take action, and
produce fast results.
A Dream Coach's responsibility is to:
- Discover, clarify, and align with what the client wants
to achieve.
- Encourage self-discovery.
- Hold the client responsible and accountable.
- Speak the truth.
- Relate, reflect and help produce results.
The Dream CoachT Process
- Set An Intention
Objective: To understand the power and importance
of intention and for you to set an intention for this program,
such as find a new job or career, or get a promotion
- Maintain Integrity
Objective: To learn how to live with integrity by
removing incompletion and keeping agreements with yourself
and others. It is essential that you remove or clear up
anything form your past that might be in the way of you
having what you want
- Live On Purpose
Objective: To understand the meaning and importance
of purpose in order to live more aligned with your purpose.
Dreams without purpose, even a job without aligning to your
purpose, can be unfulfilling. We can take steps to avoid
this.
- Access Your Dreamer
Objective: To create a dynamic relationship with the
Dreamer inside of you, and a dream you are passionate about.
No matter how realistic you may be, there is a part of you
that knows what will make you happy and what you want. We
will help you uncover this and get extremely clear about
what you want.
- Learn From Your Doubter
Objective: To create a powerful and dynamic relationship
with the Doubter inside of you, and to learn from the lessons
this part of you offers. Left unattended, this is part of
us often sabotages our dreams. This does not need to happen.
- Believe In Your Dreams
Objective: To create a belief as a solid foundation
for making your dreams come true. If you don't believe in
yourself or your dream, no one else will either. This is
a life-changing step.
- Failure Can Lead To Success
Objective: To learn to use all of life's lessons
as powerful tools, and to create daily practices to deepen
what you learn. In this work, we look at what happened and
what you learned and design practices for strengthening
your Achilles heel
- Take Serious Steps Forward
Objective: To plan the essential action steps to
insure that your dreams come true. In the end, it all comes
down to taking action and the practical steps for making
your dream real.
- Building Your Dream Team
Objective: To be able to ask for help, making your
dream more easily attainable. There are resources that you
know and do not know who can open doors and make your life
easier. Learn essential skills for asking and getting help
- Live As A Dreamer
Objective: The objective is simple, to create a
dream come true life. Once you are clear about your purpose,
dreams and resources, you can look at all areas of your
life and decide what you want. This process works on any
dream.
