Why have others hired a coach?

The following are examples given by David Wood, PCC of different situations
where a coach makes an difference.  These are just some of many reasons
that individuals decide their desire for change is worth having a partner who
is committed to helping get them to where they want to be.  

"I Needed Accountability"
    "I didn't need a coach to tell me what to do. I KNOW
    what I need to do, I just wasn't doing it. I'd even make
    To Do Lists, and sometimes set goals, but for some
    reason it just didn't seem to get done. I'd write that
    book, change jobs, do that course, work on my
    relationship, start that business --soon. Working with
    my coach was surprisingly simple. He'd ask me one
    week what I was going to do, and I knew he'd ask me
    next week if I'd done it.  Simply adding one more
    person to the equation means I now do what I say I will
    do. What a difference!"


    "I needed direction. What's my purpose?"
    "I didn't feel like what I was doing was meaningful.
    Each day was fine --go to work, achieve results, come
    home, watch TV, have a couple of drinks, dinner with
    our friends, vacation every now and then.  But nothing
    really got me excited. There wasn't a purpose to what I
    was doing.

    My coach helped me create a vision which actually
    inspired me! One which reflected the values we had
    identified were important to me. We then crafted a
    personal mission statement of HOW I would achieve
    this, and some exciting strategies.
    Now, I actually feel like I'm playing a BIG game, with a
    very worthwhile goal which makes a difference. There's
    now a point to getting out of bed, and it feels great!"

    "I needed a Plan"
    "I felt like I was all over the place - scattered. I
    was reacting to emergencies as they came up,
    rather than planning ahead. I was a little late to
    every meeting, not meeting my all my
    commitments, stressed, and riding high on
    adrenaline. My coach helped me to identify what
    was driving me--the hidden need I was
    constantly trying to meet, and to see why I really
    WANTED to be so busy.

    "I needed to find focus"
    "I had so many things on my plate it was
    ridiculous. AND, I had five more projects I
    wanted to pursue, but no time to do them. I
    couldn't decide which way to go, or what to do
    first.  My coach helped me identify my values
    what was really important, and what wasn't.
    Some were VERY hard to let go, but I'm so glad
    I did!  

    Now, instead of making a good dent in 20
    areas, I am actually producing amazing results
    in three! I'm amazed at how good it feels to be
    focused, and really producing results."

"I was Ready for Personal Growth"
    "I can't believe how little they teach us at school
    about people. I was feeling insecure and
    unconfident. I rarely stood up for myself, even
    with my partner. I knew I didn't have what I
    wanted, but I hadn't even listed what I wanted!

    My coach showed me how deeply buried my
    true feelings are. I learned how I expressed
    about 20% of what I truly thought or felt even to
    myself! Ive been so committed to "looking
    good" and "being liked", that I was being the
    person I thought people wanted me to be just to
    be accepted.

    My coach helped train me to listen to and
    understand myself. And now more often than
    not, what I'm thinking or feeling gets said! There
    are consequences, but I've now learned not to
    be afraid of them - to welcome them. I make
    requests for what I want, and am still surprised
    at how often I get it, and how little it bothers me
    when I don't. I think it's the asking that actually
    has me feel powerful."

"I just Needed a Sounding Board"

    "I don't need someone to tell me how to do things; I'm
    very self-directed, creative, and have initiative. However,
    running a business on my own is tough. There's not
    really anyone in the company I can talk to as an equal
    about strategy, or problems that come up. I don't like to
    talk about any concerns I have to the staff because part
    of my job is to keep morale up.

    Having a coach for me is like having a Board of
    Directors of two, instead of one. She's someone to
    bounce ideas off, get a second opinion, or occasionally
    to catch me on a blind spot.
     I've realized it only takes one good idea to come out of
    a coaching session, and I've covered the cost of the
    months coaching. I can imagine going back to Lone
    Ranger syndrome again, but I wouldn't want to.".
