Recently I have run into the challenge of understanding the core reasons why I am in the business of coaching. All the typical reasons surfaced, such as: I would like to help people, would like all leaders to realize their full potential, etc. All true. However, something occured to me today that is much more in line with the truth.
I'd like to start a revolution!
A leadership revolution.
A world where leaders inspire, support, listen, encourage and motivate people. Coaching provides a kind of unconditional support that most people never have the privilage of experiencing. I would like to create a major impact with leaders across the world in all organizations in the way they lead and treat their people. My goal is to create a package, service and system that is accessable to all leaders that desire this change. I would like employees to lobby for their leaders to make these changes in order to create workplace environments that are enjoyable and pleasurable.
All leaders deserve to make the necessary behavioural changes to enjoy health relationships at work and at home, while gaining the skills and know how to cope with a hectic work and family life.
Ultimately I would like to create a leadership revolution, adding value to all companies that participate through the following areas.
Increase employee support and motivation
Employees will feel validated and supported
Leaders will increase their E.I. by practicing their newly gained behavioural changes.
Leaders will be able to use these techniques to put their people through similar programs
Leaders will increase their personal happiness
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Truth be told, most leaders have the practical skills, education, training experience. In my experience as a manager the real reason people are let go has nothing to do with tangible skills that can be taught, and everything to do with attitude, standards, and overall likeability.
In this competitive market, the edge you have is not only going to be how many technical course you have taken, but more importantly your emotional intelligence.
CHEERS to a new future, where people enjoy going to work everyday.

In the Valley of Value (why coach?)
Why be a coach? What is a coach? These are two questions that come up on a regular basis in this industry for obvious reasons. More importantly I ask, what is the VALUE?
Why am I a coach? Simple, I have a very regular habit of seeing the best in people, giving people the benefit of the doubt, and taking them as is. A desire to see the light I know is inside, grow into a bright and shining star. Lucky for me the majority of Executive Coaching deals with successful, motivated, driven individuals ready to make a commitment towards progress. They are also motivated not to waste their dollars on a program that doesn't produce results, and are smart enough to realize participation is key.
But what is the true "value" of a coach? How can anyone measure the actual worth of a coach. Most people have seen what kind of damage a negative person can bring to any situation, including work teams. But do most people recognize the "value" of the inspiring team members? The people who try to solve the problems, rather then bring them up as a complaint. It is absolutely important for individuals in positions of leadership to show "obvious" value in positive and constructive participation. As for the "value" of a coach, it would be impossible to quantify the actual value of a person who can help us reach our goals.
How valuable is it to me, that my coach is helping me reach my health and fitness goals? How valuable is it to me that she has helped me recognize what a great relationship I have with my daughter? In my mind there is no real way to quantify this in dollars to actual value.
However, in a business environment there are ways to measure goals, and successes in dollars. This leads me to the fact that the business world is now slowly starting to recognize that there is no way to fully seperate business & personal. That peoples personal happiness directly effects performance, efficiency, and overall value.
So, to all you coaches out there.. Here is a great big
HURRAY!!! Give me a V.....Give me an A....Give me an L give me a U, give me an E!!
