Leadership Management Australia recently released the Leadership Employment
and Direction Survey. The study focused on employee performance … but as
you’ll see, the findings are directly relevant to your Success Coaching career.
The study found that the top 5 factors that influence employee performance are:
Being entrusted with responsibility.
Doing interesting and challenging work.
Having a good relationship with leadership.
Receiving feedback and good communication in general.
Enjoying good relationships with other staff.
These are some of the exact same reasons people engage the services of a
Success Coach. You’ll be creating an ideal high performance environment for your clients.
-
Because you’ll be coaching them on how to be fully responsible for their own lives.
-
Because the work your clients do with you will be interesting and
challenging for them.
-
Because your clients will come to treasure their relationship with you.
-
Because the positive feedback you give to your clients can literally
transform the way they act and feel about themselves
- Because one of the first things your clients will notice is how they are
getting on better with the people around them (and by the way, this will
happen to you too)!
What’s more, the Leadership Survey concluded that:
Enormous opportunities exist for those leaders who take the time to
build relationships, to listen, and to ensure that employees increased
responsibilities are matched by appropriate skill development and learning.
Go back to the last sentence and replace the word leaders with coaches, and
the word employees with clients … Now. Are you beginning to understand
what the future might hold for you when you’re a Success Coach?
And bear in mind this observation from marketing expert Jay Abraham:
People are silently begging to be led.
So doesn’t it make sense to lead them … and … reap the rewards?
Remember, you will be trained to lead … by people who didn’t necessarily
start out as leaders themselves … but who now spend every working day
inspiring and challenging people to be their best. |
