Coaching is central to the growth and prosperity of leaders today. As a business owner, I see team coaching as critical to our success.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Kathryn Holt is a friend and mentor whose coaching changed the trajectory of my life. In many ways, the success of our firm, Good Leadership Enterprises, is due to what I learned about myself from Kathryn\u2019s coaching. Today, our firm touches thousands of leaders every year with coaching in one form or another. And it’s very satisfying to know that people change the world for the better when they radiate goodness through their good leadership.<\/p>\n

Explaining the value<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the most common questions I get about my career is: \u201cWhat do executive coaches really do for people<\/em>?\u201d It\u2019s a good question: coaches can\u2019t change behaviors or hold people accountable. What good coaches do, is help leaders learn from themselves. Good coaches help leaders see what\u2019s possible in their lives, if they decide to think and lead differently. To illustrate the point, let\u2019s revisit my relationship with Kathryn Holt:<\/p>\n

In the opening paragraph of this blog, I wrote these words: \u201cThe success of our firm\u2026is due to what I learned about myself from Kathryn\u2019s coaching.\u201d<\/em> Learning from ourselves is called \u201cinsights.\u201d Neuroscientists have proven over the past decade that our brains are literally addicted to our own insights. <\/em>That\u2019s why coaching<\/a> from a good coach is rewarding.<\/p>\n

\"\"
The perspective of a coach helps bring out the best in leaders. It\u2019s not about \u201cfixing\u201d what\u2019s wrong \u2013 it’s about finding and leveraging our gifts and channeling positivity for goodness.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Who’s coaching you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Kathryn gave me a couple of personality and learning style inventories that helped me learn that I\u2019m only happy when I\u2019m innovating. I\u2019m happy when I know both myself and my business is growing. And I\u2019m not truly happy unless I\u2019m “driving the bus.” When Kathryn helped me learn this, I was one of five partners in a firm that didn\u2019t fulfill those sources of happiness. Her observations helped me see that I had lost my professional confidence. Because of a bad economy, and a workplace culture that didn\u2019t work for me, I literally didn\u2019t think I had the skills or courage to survive starting a business on my own. In short, my coach believed in me more than I did. And her belief helped me find the courage to follow my calling.<\/p>\n

So, what do coaches do? We listen for the thought-models and belief systems behind the behaviors of our coaching clients. We listen for words like \u201chate, frustrated, can\u2019t, should, and shouldn\u2019t.\u201d Each of those words have self-limiting thought-models and belief systems that drain energy and confidence. Then, with tools, books, vivid stories, and hands-on learning experiences, we help our clients experiment with new words, beliefs, and behaviors aligned with their aspirations. When clients learn from themselves, they are grateful and addicted to that style of learning.<\/p>\n

Coaching is increasing in acceptance and value<\/strong><\/p>\n

Sports metaphors are vastly over-used in business, but I like this one: The best teams seek out the best coaching. Championship teams in every sport imaginable hire excellent coaches to help their teams learn how to work together better, sustain their performance, and win championships. So, it shouldn\u2019t be surprising to know that my point-of-view is: Every business leadership team needs coaching.<\/em><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
In less than a month, this book has focused the attention of our client base. The data proves \u201chow\u201d goodness pays financially. Do you have your copy yet?<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

In the context of business leadership, coaches help their clients create an open system, where people can focus on the same business goals, and routinely share observations and encouragement to help each other grow. We call that goodness \u2013 when people thrive together in a culture of encouragement, accountability, and positive teamwork. In 90% of our coaching engagements, increasing goodness also increases financial performance<\/a>. In short coaching pays, because goodness pays.<\/p>\n

So, what\u2019s the value of coaching? We improve leadership in ways that increase financial performance. Doesn\u2019t that sound like fun!?<\/p>\n

Good leaders understand they perform better when they are learning about themselves through coaching. And they create an open system where people are focused on the same goals and encouraging each other to grow.<\/p>\n
