Change experts say 95% of the journey of transformation
happens by creating awareness.
Coaching at its core is a one-to-one facilitative process between a professional coach and client to achieve specific goals, outlined and led by the client. The process is driven by the client, whereby the coach provides structure, asking specific questions, identify habits and blind spots, providing supportive education and being an accountability partner for the client.
Empower World and coaching experts alike hold the belief that each one of us is incredibly resourceful, creative and imaginative: that everyone possesses inner wisdom and strength that can be brought out of the client in new ways.
Whether you’re a high level and high performing executive, a mother juggling family and career, someone starting a new business, a graduate starting out, a student unsure of which direction to take or a community organizer, there is always new wisdom to unveil. This inner wisdom may be hidden due to what we learn as we grow up based on what our parents and the key influencing people in our life teach us what we can and can’t do. This has the impact of ‘squashing’ our curiosity, imagination, confidence, dreams and wisdom.
This inner wisdom and strength lies within our deeper subconscious mind, which many of us haven't learned how to tap into mindfully and effectively. Instead, our unconscious habits of thinking, feeling and making decisions and taking action, which we’ve learnt from a very early age, potentially prevents us from seeing different perspectives and creating new thoughts, ideas and habits.
Coaching creates new consciousness using deep thought provoking questions, processes and methodologies. This greater or new awareness is potentially unknown to the client, or if it is known, the real impact and consequences of past behaviours and beliefs are created. This means clients can make better choices and can decide whether to enhance or replace these old ways of thinking, doing, being.
Value-Add of Professional Coaches
The International Coaching Federation (ICF) Global Coaching Client Study found that the vast majority of clients reported improved work performance, better business management, more efficient time management, increased team effectiveness, and more growth and opportunities.
The same study found that coaching clients noted greater self-confidence, enhanced relationships, more effective communications skills, better work-and-life balance and an improvement in wellness.
Nearly 70 percent of individuals indicated they had at least made back their initial investment. The median suggests that a client who achieved financial benefit from coaching can typically expect a ROI of more than three times the amount spent.
