Why Has Coaching Become a Big Deal?

Every individual person and business or organisation has the potential to succeed, if provided the right internal and external environment for the unlocking of their potentials. Coaching unlocks such potentials by helping people to find from within themselves the ‘how to do’ solutions, without imposing the ‘what to do’ solutions.

By focusing on a specific and measurable outcome, coaching supports the client to take the initiative to access their unique wisdom and activate dormant potentials.

In so doing, the client, through the coaching partnership is provided with the best chance to heighten personal belief systems, which inspire the achievement of excellent results. In this regard, coaching combines the four essentials that motivate performance in people, namely: Beliefs, Behaviours, Relationships and Results.

It is for this reason that coaching has become an indispensable tool, process and structure in the workplace, because it addresses the core beliefs of people, which show up in their attitudes or character. This in turn will influence their behaviour and actions, especially as it concerns the development of mutually beneficial relationships, without which there cannot be the desired optimum performance.

Successful coaching is all about improved performance. Coaching makes what is supposedly ‘bad’ to be good. It turns what is good into something much better, and the best to become even better still. This evidence of coaching’s transformational power is tooted in its ability to drive change from the inside-out, which is rooted in belief systems. So, for any leader and manager that desires improvement in individual and teams’ performance, coaching remains the most realistic approach and practical solution.
