Certified Coaches Federation
Life & Executive Coach Training and Certification

There is a growing conversation today about the practice of Certified Coaching, and its influence. Studies indicate that 90% of the participants in coaching relationships report significant increases in their areas of focus. Several participants describe immediate beneficial changes, and 95% describe the process as worthwhile. Coaching is now estimated to be a $5 billion/year in the U.S., and about $500 million/year in Canada. 60% of North American companies use or have used an Executive Coach.

Each of us is in a leadership role in different areas of life. We naturally desire to make a positive and abundant impact upon those we lead. Wanting to enhance that leadership role is normal, and healthy. Coaching is a natural tool to enhance that impact. Coaching is the path that serious people take to reach their goals. It is a tool to have a “purposeful relationship” with people:

- Coaching Is Connecting – As we connect with people, we listen deeply. Many people have not really been listened to for a long time, and so by listening, we become a safe harbor.

- Coaching Is Collaborating – As a result of connecting and listening, we begin the process of locating exactly where a person is at. Once we locate where a person is right now, and help them to clarify their goals, we can begin to collaborate with them and partner together to move them to their ultimate destination.

- Coaching Is Crafting – Through our collaboration, we begin to work with them to craft a precise strategy for achieving their goals and actualizing their dreams. An abundant world awaits if we plan our goals, and then work our plan. The feedback we provide through coaching helps people realize more abundance than they’d have without coaching.

- Coaching Is Clarifying – The difference between a lack of focus and a sharp focus is as great as the difference between a light bulb and a laser beam. So many of us have so many great ideas and hopes and dreams… a good coach helps us to drill down from the general to the specific; from the dream-able to the do-able; from what we want to have to what we can’t live without. The answers to most people’s challenges are within. A good coach helps to explore those possibilities and clarify those solutions.

- Coaching Is Caring – As a coach, we do what we do because we care for people. We see the potential in our business partner, co-workers, family and friends, and we want to help them achieve it. A good coach will evaluate your performance against your potential. A coach helps you measure your performance against your strengths instead of against someone else’s.

- Coaching Is Creating Momentum – Finally, coaching is all about creating momentum. Good coaches just help people feel better, but great coaches create movement, results and momentum. I love the quote from Steve Jobs, of Apple: “Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren’t used to an environment where excellence is expected.” Coaching establishes priorities and clarifies goals, but it is also about creating results. Once priorities have been established and goals have been clarified, results can be created, along with bottom-line return. Profit is important.

Buddha said: “Your work is to discover your work, and then with all your heart, to give yourself to it.” All of us need to be coached… but we all also need to develop our potential to coach others. This will not only enhance the success of those we lead, but also, it will enhance our success.
