About Coaching
The Coaching Experience
What is coaching all about?
Coaching is one-on-one guidance and extended support for personal and professional growth and change. It recognizes that who you are as a person and who you are as a professional and/or entrepreneur are intricately linked.
As a coaching client, you receive customized strategies to help you achieve specific business and personal goals. The work can either be situational to support you through a crisis or is ongoing and intensive over several months or more. It is designed to ensure lasting change and promote continuous growth. Coaching deals specifically with performance enhancement, self-observation and self-correction in order to make the changes sustainable.
How does coaching work?
Coaching for executives and entrepreneurs integrates business and personal goals, building on individual strengths at the office and in life. The process usually begins with an initial in-depth consultation with the corporate client to align coaching and corporate goals before work with individuals proceeds.
Each client begins with an in-depth assessment to determine his or her own needs and strengths in the workplace and beyond. A series of exercises helps individuals develop and articulate a vision and establish their personal and professional goals.
Once goals are in place, clients pursue individualized strategies to increase awareness of their own intuitive wisdom and build skills that draw on their personal and professional strengths.
Coaching exercises support innovation, creativity, willingness to take calculated risks, and the ability to see outside the box. Coaches provide guidance and tactics for effective management, strategy, staff motivation, communication, productivity and leadership. With telephone sessions on a weekly, biweekly, or monthly basis, coaches offer ideas and encouragement for:
• embracing change
• developing flexible responses
• self- observation
• self -correction
• increasing problem-solving ability
Regularly scheduled evaluation and review help keep the process on track and indicate strategies for ongoing support when formal coaching is finished.
Who benefits from coaching?
Individuals
• Self-starters who are motivated to succeed, balance life and work, pursue life goals, and increase their satisfaction and fulfillment on and off the job.
• Executives and future leaders with gaps in their management and people skills.
• Sales professionals who are poised to grow, but need help developing the listening and service skills they need to get to reach a higher level of performance.
Organizations
Companies, which invest in the individual growth of their strongest employees, are rewarded with greater enthusiasm, productivity, and loyalty from those best able to help the firm achieve its business goals. When highly developed skills of motivated leaders are aligned with the organization’s vision and goals, everyone benefits.
What does it take for coaching to succeed?
Coaching produces the best results when individual clients are motivated to grow, are able to see the bigger picture, and are willing to engage others to achieve larger goals. The most successful coaching clients are committed to personal and professional success and to the success of a larger enterprise. They are also willing and able to commit the time it takes to create long-term growth and change.
The success of the coaching experience also takes the right coach - someone who brings not only solid expertise and credentials, but who can establish the personal rapport with the client that is absolutely essential for success. That’s why Frumi and Associates offers both broad experience and a range of personal styles and approaches.
