Do You Really Need To Hire A Coach

Written by on June 16, 2022

There is undoubtedly a coach for you if you’re looking for one-on-one attention from a professional to help you elevate your game, improve skills or influence particular outcomes in your life.

Career coaching isn’t just for executives, people in mid-career can benefit greatly from career coaching as well, helping them advance in their own companies or take the step to move elsewhere.

Finding a new and exciting career challenge can be sometimes very difficult. Without insights to the market and knowing how to approach the job market, it can sometimes be a daunting task, very confusing and very frustrating.

Execs have a particular problem in that the higher they advance in their careers, the more treacherous the territory. In fact, upwards of 40% of executives hired at the senior level are pushed out, fail, or quit within 18 months.

Reasons to consider a coach:

YOU FEEL LOST – Maybe you don’t feel fulfilled in your current role. Maybe you are still searching for your perfect job. Sometimes, you just need help getting to the next level. Progress equals happiness! While success takes work, dedication and time, a Coach not only helps you set goals and make an action plan, but also consistently provides a supportive tip, tool or strategy as you make progress. Friends and family can provide advice and listen to you vent but their love for you can create biased advice which doesn’t really help you move forward. You need a Coach if you want to determine what really matters to you in an honest way and make a strategic plan on how to move forward.

YOU’RE LETTING FEAR HOLD YOU BACK – Everyone is intimidated from time to time to make a change. The difference is that successful people know how to find their inner strength and use that fear to grow as a person, instead of holding them back. If you’re having trouble overcoming your fears, you need  a Coach. A Coach can also help you transform the way you think about your fears today and shift your perspective so that your focus is on emphasizing your positive traits, instead of focusing on limiting beliefs.

YOU WANT TO BE MORE DECISIVE – Think about your current status in your professional life. Do you feel that you’ve missed out on opportunities because you’re afraid to take action? If your confidence isn’t where it should be or you’re having trouble charting a course because you’re too close to your problems to see the next steps, a Coach can help you find clarity and guide you to a more proactive path.

YOU CAN’T SEEM TO FOCUS – You have a goal, like starting a business – great! But you need more than a goal to achieve your dreams. You need a clear vision and focused energy in order to make that vision a reality. A Coach is an expert who can help you clarify your goals. If formulating a clear vision isn’t your issue but creating an actionable plan to execute it is, a Coach is still your go-to resource.

YOU NEED BETTER TIME MANAGEMENT- Procrastinators at one time or another have wondered, “Do I really need a Coach?”. You know that putting off until tomorrow what you need to do today isn’t going to get you anywhere, but sometimes you need help staying on task. A Coach can help you break through these counterproductive patterns.

Do these points resonate with you? Then perhaps you’ve answered the topic heading.
