Welcome to the Daily Focus Session

Many self-employed people as well as those who work for others find it increasingly difficult to maintain clarity, focus and passion on a daily basis. I would like to share with you a simple process that will help you take back control of your life and business. I call it “The Daily Focus Session”. It can be learned quickly and produces powerful results.

This is a very powerful process that I use personally and with my coaching clients to help achieve more success and happiness.

Watch this video first to get a basic understanding of the context and background of this process.

How To Increase Your Productivity

The coaching process is discussion and action-based, so helping the client to create an action plan is an integral part of coaching. An action plan is a list of steps (actions) that the client is going to take, which should lead to the result that they want. Most action plans are time lined also, which means that dates have been added to each action so the plan is trackable.

Why This Works
The Action Plan puts down on paper what is going to happen and acts a guide and management system for the client and coach. Just putting this “into existence” helps to organize thought, prompt ideas, and identify needed resources.

6 Steps To Increasing Your Productivity
1. Get the goal or objective clear, personal and perfect.
2. Write down all the steps to take to reach this goal, in any order. Just get them down on paper.
3. Look to see what else is needed to do or obtain which will guarantee the result occur, not just move the client towards it.
4. Rewrite the steps neatly, in order of action, and time line (puts dates next to) each step. Post the Action Plan in a place where it is frequently seen and prompts you to take action.
5. Arrange for a support and reporting structure to keep the Action Plan alive and the goal being reached.
6. Update the Action Plan with progress or changes.

Why I Decided To Become A Coach

Living in a world with so many outside influences many people have lost sight of what makes them happy. I was one of those people who found myself trapped in a lucrative profession making lots of money but was completely miserable. I was blessed at a early age to discover that money doesn’t equal happiness. I have spent the last 17-18 years orienting my life around what makes me happy and helping others do the same.

Watch the video below called “Money Doesn’t Equal Happiness” and let me know if you can relate.

Business or Life Coach? – How To Choose The One That’s Right For You

Greg Clowminzer — Thu, 03 Feb 2011 04:32:01 +0000

There are so many coaches out there, from all walks of life. But if you are picking a coach to work with you, you can’t afford to make the wrong decision and start all over again with someone else. So how do you separate the sales spin from the reality and be confident that the coach you chose is right for you?

First of all, take some time over the choice. If it works, coaching could be one of the best investments you can make – for you personally and for your business. But despite this, people often rush into a decision or jump for the first coach they speak to. So, before you take your pick make sure you find out these things about your coach:

What is their main coaching focus? If you need a business coach, you need a business coach – not a life coach who happens to do some business coaching. Many coaches will offer a range of services, but find out what their real specialism is – or at least the type of coaching they have the most passion for.

What business experience do they have? It is perfectly acceptable to ask a coach about their professional background, including asking for details of what they did or achieved for the companies they worked for. You can be coached by someone who has only operated several layers lower in organizations, but to get real success you need to know they have experience at your level.

Are you comfortable with them on a personal level? Rapport is important here. Coaching will sometimes take you into unfamiliar areas and challenge your comfort zone. You need to make sure you work with someone who you personally feel comfortable with – this is not about expecting to be best friends (which is not what you need), but knowing that you can relax enough in their company.

Have they got experience of your specific skills challenges? If you already know there is one particular skill or competency you want coaching on, such as influencing skills or time management, make sure this is an area the coach has experience of. Similarly if you work in a specific sector and want someone who understands the specific challenges you face, check their background includes this.

How much of their time is spent coaching? Beware of consultants or trainers who say they are coaches but actually spend a very small part of their time coaching people. There is a huge difference between a full-time trainer who occasionally adds coaching onto a specific package and a professional coach!

What management experience have they had? This may sound obvious, but if you manage a large team of people in your business you need someone who can understand the dynamics and challenges that brings. There are many coaches out there who will have managed only a handful of people or none at all.

So, with all this can you be sure that coaching will work? Absolutely not – coaching is a unique relationship and you’ll never know until you give it a try. But, if you ask these questions, your chance of success will be far greater. – and you could well find yourself working with someone who can help you transform your business and life.

Most coaches offer a free introductory session to alleviate the fear of taking the next step and working with them. Take advantage of the offer and seize the opportunity to see if you are ready to be coached to reaching your ultimate goals.
