LIFE COACHING DIVISION
The need for effective coaching has never been greater. Gallup research shows that a team that is highly engaged has doubled the chance of job performance and success. Engaged workers are more productive, profitable, loyal, and customer-focused.
Columbia University Business School surveyed ten thousand (10,000) people on whether they would like to have a coach and why. Almost everyone said they would welcome some coaching. Thirty percent (30%) said they wanted coaching to help them with “life, purpose, vision, creativity, and integrity.” Seventeen percent (17%) said they needed help with their “entrepreneurial” activities and with their “team, sales, and cross- cultural diversity” issues. Sixteen percent (16%) cited “leadership and management” needs. Eight percent (8%) wanted help with “relationships” and another Eight percent (8%) sought help with “career transition” and “future job planning and career development.” Many ask for help with behavior change, leadership effectiveness, and work-life balance. Clearly, coaching is not just about the organization or the team. Coaching is about people.
Much of what we do each day in the way of guidance and support is a type of coaching. But coaching is more than consulting or advising. It is a specific set of competencies, skills, and behaviors that takes a certain kind of good intent and character. I like the definition of coaching by Michael K. Simpson. He states, "Unleashing or unlocking the potential of another human being.” I agree with that statement.
Sometimes, it is helpful to define coaching in terms of what it is not.
. Coaching is not ordering people around because you have authority or a title.
. Coaching is not “fixing” a person.
. Coaching is not creating dependency or indulging in “open-ended therapy.
Coaching is about building a relationship of trust, tapping a person's potential, creating commitment, and executing goals. Trust, Potential, Commitment, and Execution. In the final analysis, coaching is about positively impacting one person’s mindset, heart, and behaviors so that person is never the same again.
​
That is why at the TWS Consulting Group, whether Consulting or Coaching, we make a positive difference to the bottom line through the MIND AND HEART!
