What is Professional Coaching?

Coaching is a formalized, one-on-one process to develop potential, enhance performance, and align goals within a defined arena. It is based on a collaborative relationship that is clearly defined and has pronounced boundaries. Professional Coaching focuses on and moves people toward purposeful action. It is the process of training, encouraging, correcting, and challenging the individual or organization to become all that they can be.

Coaching has long been part of the landscape of corporate America and has spread around the world. It has grown over the last twenty years from a few cutting-edge, innovative thinkers, to a 630 million dollar business with over 10,000 professional coaches worldwide. For the most part it is used to increase individual human performance and expertise. And it has proven to do so. The latest statistical figures from Blanchard Industries show that the average corporate executive using the services of a professional coach reflected a 10 to 1 increase in productivity.

What does Coaching Like?

Coaching is about discovery. It is about discovering what really matters most to you, and how that should affect your daily life. Therefore, coaching appointments begin with an opportunity for you to discuss what you feel is important, and discuss the progress that you have made with assignments, and end with a clear set of action steps you choose to take in the future.

What are the Four Keys To Team Destiny's Philosophy?

Transformational Conversation
Our job as a coach is not to give advice but rather to explore, question, and stimilate your creativity through transformational conversation. It is not therapy. It is a guided and directed discovery of yourself and any potential barriers that are in or around you that inhibit your success. Through coaching you should also discover ways to increase your performance.
 
Transparent Relationship
A coach is a friend and confidant, your greatest supporter, someone who knows you well enough to recognize your greatness and then challenge you to rise to it. A transparent relationship with a coach frees you to go to places you've never gone before.

Support System for Change
With support, encouragement and accountability from someone who believes in us, we can do far more than we'd ever accomplish alone. A coach helps you stay on track, overcome obstacles and convert your want-to into concrete steps that get in your date book and get done.

Consistent Leadership Development.
Coaches don't give solutions: they help you solve your own problems. Coaching is helping you learn instead of telling you what to do. By leveraging every situation to build your capacity as a leader and a person, coaching prepares you to conquer much bigger challenges in the future.

What Will We Focus On?

The answer is, "Just about anything!" Performance coaching does just what its name says: it helps you increase your performance. Or you can work at discovering your destiny, organizing your life, getting into an exercise program, slowing down, turning a dream into reality… you only need to answer the question, "What do I want to do different?"

You might be wondering, "What qualifies a coach to help me in so many different areas?" Remember, a coach is not an expert in a certain field who gives you advice (that's consulting). And a coach is not someone more senior than you who is showing you the ropes (that's mentoring). Coaches are change experts who help you find the solution that works for your unique situation.

So if you want more from life—more growth, greater purpose, maximum performance, Team Destiny is your key to getting there.
