Coaching - What is it and how can it help
Coaching can take various forms from a single session, to regular meetings. It can be individual or as part of a group. It can be in person, electronic, written, web based.. In fact there as many ways to coach as there are types or people and different tastes.
Coaching - What it is not
Coaching is not telling you what to do. It is not a magic pill that you can pay, turn up and get everything with no effort. But it can be an access to incredible results if there is good match between the coach and the client, and if there is good mutual respect
Coaching - How far would you go?
There is a wonderful scene in a classic movie, where a young boy wants to learn Karate to defend himself. His coach tells him to wash his car, then scrub his floor boards, and paint his fence..
Ok now for many of us.. be honest, would you have even done the first one? or would you have walked away thinking the coach a crack pot?
In the film, the coach was teaching the student some lessons about body movement, muscle training and more.. (If you'd like to know more try www.mastertaichi.com or www.mastermartialarts.com)
What is the value of coaching? Is it expensive?
Well consider what it would be like if you earned 20% more than you do now, or 40% more.. What about if you earned twice as much as you do now?
When you buy a Cd it's clearly an expense. That £20 is spent and gone. That £100 on clubbing at the weekend, well memories but not a lot more. But if you bought £1000 of Apple Inc shares.. well that's different isnt' it. That's an investment, as you think you'll earn more in the long run.
Investing in Coaching, is like investing into the most important stock in the market - YOU Plc
If the cost of coaching was only 1% of that increase would you say it was worthwhile? And remember the compounding effect of money.. and the rice on the chess board. Often the cost is much less, and the return much more. And when you think like somone in banking, and the real value of coaching for you in every area of your life, then it's an incredible good investment you can't really afford to pass up.
Coaching - So how does that apply to Banking and Finance?
Well if you want to get on in banking, there may be things you'll need to try and we'd suggest.. that may not at first sound like they relate.. but try it..
Coaching - Final Thoughts
There's a phrase that is attributed to Buddha - "Question everything anyone tells you, including what I tell you"
At the end of the day, in finance as in life, you are responsible for your results. If you want to get different results.. try something new, and remember to keep going and trust your intuition.
