The Success Barriers

An owner manager’s role can be a lonely one. While the demands of the top job in any organisation are intense, many owner managers privately miss the opportunity to discuss their role or performance and also to enhance their professional and leadership skills.

Paradoxically, the increase demands for a growing profitable business do not leave sufficient time for owners of businesses to devote to developing long-term strategies. When you think about it, the reason for the success of a business is the ability of the owner to create and implement the business’ vision and strategy.

A major contributor to work in coaching is Harvard educator Timothy Gallwey, who wrote such books as the "The Inner Game of Tennis." His work emphasised the need to develop an inner state conducive to performance, since any athletes most formidable opponent is in the head, not on the playing field. He maintains if the coach can help the player reduce or remove these internal obstacles, then his own natural ability will flow out, without much technical information from the coach.

This approach to releasing another person’s inner power can be applied to business coaching. The goal of the coach is simply, unlock the person’s potential, to maximise their performance.

Why Use a Business Coach

Why would someone need a coach to help them achieve their goals? The fact is, if Tiger Woods or Sonia O’Sullivan could do it all on their own, they wouldn’t have a Coach.

But human nature being what it, there are many reasons why we don’t always see things clearly on our own, or keep promises to ourselves. Perhaps we are unaware of our blind spots in developing winning habits. In addition, procrastination or the need to develop certain skills or some knowledge may be holding us back from being our best.

The owners of small to medium sized businesses find it challenging to keep pace with all the changes and innovations going in their respective businesses, then add into the mix, finding time for marketing, sales, systems, planning and team management, in addition to simply running the business.

In a world where the difference that makes all the difference can be those small things around the edges, a business coach is no longer a luxury, but a necessity. Based on the unique strategies developed by Terry Judge, you will create a framework for your life that will allow you to increase your sales, improve your profits, so that as the owner of the business you work less and relax more.

Terry will help you make your dreams come true. Why? Because his goal is simply – to help you reach yours.

Focus

In order to facilitate this process, it is critical that my clients and I both clearly understand the following

• What is the client’s goal?
• The reality of their current situation
• What is the extent of the gap between the two?
• What obstacle or barriers either internal or external exist?
• What are the client’s options to achieve their goal?
• Agree specific action steps to achieving the goal.
• Meet and review with the client to ensure the steps have been taken.

Non-Judgemental

This process only works in an atmosphere of complete openness, honesty and trust. To facilitate this process the coach approaches the client in a non-judgemental way. This provides the psychic space for the client to express themselves fully. The style of coaching employed is non-directive. This means that the role of the coach is to ask questions so that the client reaches their own solutions to their own challenges.

Key outcomes from coaching

• Self-Awareness
• Clarity
• Focus
• Quantum growth
• Work-Life balance
