The Benefits Of Having A Coach
According to The Institute of Coaching, an affiliate of Harvard Medical School, having a Life Coach is shown to have incredibly powerful effects, especially over the long term (6 - 12 months).
Studies have shown that having a life coach can have the following positive effects:
- The ability to take action towards achieving your goals
- Become more self - reliant and self - aware
- Show an increase in your job, career, and life satisfaction
- Effectively contribute to team and organizational goals
- Take greater responsibility for your actions and accountability for your commitments
- Productively work with others easily and efficiently
- Able to easily communicate your needs and wants
- Establish healthy boundaries
- Notice an increase in work/life balance
Alternatively, research published by the International Coaching Federation in conjunction with The Manchester Review found that, 80% of people who had coaches report an increase in their self-confidence, while 70% of coaching subjects found an improved work performance, better relationships, and more effective at communicating their needs.
