Order 1060445: My Coaching Philosophy
My ultimate goal in a coaching relationship is to achieve organizational goals while making sure that the client is a winner and that the co-created process sustainably improves results. I tend to go an extra mile in the pursuit of the client's satisfaction in a holistic life. I explore all the possible connections which would matter in both formal and informal environments.
The impact that coaching has had on my life is remarkable. Every day, I try to amplify this impact in a way which allows individuals to experience the influence of coaching and recognize that their success has no boundary. For progress achievement, I have to change my perspective such that I can see and feel both sides. After the perspective change, I intuitively and cognitively decide the next move.
For me, coaching is a process of constant development; I always repeat and genuinely believe that coaching is for people who are already doing well but aim to do better and reach further. In fact, most of the clients I had the chance to work with are either high potential individuals or people that are in a transition role, meaning they are in a phase of promotion and are looking for the best ways to succeed during these positive changes.
We tend to forget that there is a downside to being in a high position and that, unfortunately, it is often lonely at the top. Executives of today experience a very involving role in trying to find the balance between being at the top and being the best socially in the society. To help them I make them get out of there comfort zones. In a bid to get them out of their normal daily lives by being something unique which exasperates them. I start by cutting their loneliness through gaining their trust and hence being their confidant. Comment by Nada Jreissati Daher: I don’t really aim to become their confidant as much as gaining their trust but make sure they know that some behaviors which were okay in the past might not be okay in their new leadership role.
For instance, in most cases, executives find themselves filling new positions while keeping previous beliefs and behaviors. As an executivea life coach I do not provide the solution to their problems and dilemmas, what I do is coach the individual as a human being not as an inanimate object.
My values in coaching orient towards results and I judge a coaching process by two things. Provided I stay within my ethical guidelines I make these clients get out their regular routines of being worship and make them vulnerable and less critical. This way the aspect of perfectionism escapes their minds. I make the leaders feel that being at the top is not all the life there can be. By the end, if people do not feel the need to be vulnerable and less important, separating their ego from their social life will be difficult.
The most important, the aspect of coaching is to know how to connect with the client such that both my goals and client's goal attainment. As mentioned above, the starting point is by changing the perspective so as to make me and the client self-reflect. When individuals take the time to self-reflect on insights and gain awareness, they will be able to focus on actions in a better way. The best way to achieve self-reflection is by exploring the dynamic of both cognitive and physical abilities of a person.
Comment by Nada Jreissati Daher: can you please rephrase the whole paragraph. I find it a little weak
It usually is a struggle for a life coach to balance between the professional roles and the client's wannabe person for the sake of the success of the entire coaching process. Conclusively the success of a great life coach is the one who achieves permanent positive results while guarding his or her integrity as a life coach. Comment by Nada Jreissati Daher: same. it is executive coach
