Coaching seems to be the latest buzzword these days. Isn’t it? A mantra that is touted as a panacea for all entrepreneurial, managerial, lifestyle, relationship and self-actualization issues. The only caveat is that you should get your dose from a Doctor and not a quack!! And therein lies the magic. I describe Coaching in 6 points:

• It is Futuristic
• Solution centric
• Action oriented
• Choice enabling
• Partnership based
• And Focused

Coaching is a methodology which needs readiness to be able to produce results. Associating with a coach enables individuals to stay focused on their goals and keep moving forward with a strategic approach. This blog enables you to recognise the symptoms that tell you that you are in the need to see a doctor (A Coach!!).

You are at crossroads:

• When you have done everything you know and don’t know the next step
• When you really desire for a positive change but don’t know how to bring it about
• When you feel stuck and frustrated because you aren’t able to change the situation in spite of all the efforts.
• When, as an ambitious person you want to be proactive in your approach while dealing with business/relationship/children/team

Seeking guidance

These are the points/situations or signs where having a Coach helps. When confusion or stagnation sets in and you need a fresh perspective and a plan of action with clear focus and methodology, you need a sounding board. A Coach provides the required guidance and impetus to get business owners out of the rut. It is up to you to identify and recognise these signs and decide to seek Coaching.

No antibiotic works its magic if you do not take it at the time in the right way. Similarly coaching can only produce results when you are committed to partner, take action, and consciously make choice to move forward by staying focused, positive and futuristic.
