Become A World-Class Coach

Professional Coaches Needed.

 

 

Do you want to become a qualified, executive coach either within your organisation or in a self-employed capacity? If so, read on…

Coaching is the science of asking the right questions in the right way in order to effect real and lasting change. Coaches ask great questions that unlock limiting paradigms, go straight to the heart of the matter and make the individual or team sit up and challenge their own thoughts and actions. As a consequence of great coaching, they apply changes in their behaviour and activity, in order to reach their full potential.

Coaching is also the art of believing in someone and making them have total belief in themselves.

Great coaches rely on tried and tested systems to apply effective and powerful coaching intervention and deliver the results that the individual, team and organisation want and need.

Best Year Yet is part of a bigger US organisation, but our company owns the UK licence.

In the UK, many blue chip organisations are moving away from traditional ‘training’, where people go away on courses, come back to 2 weeks of emails – their course binder ending up on a shelf gathering dust, while the day to day challenges of the business take over. (Sound familiar?) Consequently all the good intentions and best practice they learned on the course is forgotten. This is called the Ebbinghaus Effect.

My team are having huge success in the UK with Best Year Yet® because it consists of a full twelve month programme with monthly coaching intervention that creates ‘moments of change’ in individuals and teams. Their results and development is phenomenal. BYY has a direct positive impact on their attitude and their action. For British companies and SME’s it offers a clearly defined return on investment and tangible measurable results. One team has just delivered £36million against an original objective for the year of £12 million. This is truly their best year yet. The very essence of Best Year Yet delivers:

Results
Accountability
Moments of Change
Personal and Team Development
Empowerment
Engagement
Enhanced Morale
The feeling of success

This system, skillfully applied by a good coach is transformational.

Leadership Coaching Programmes

 

The facts are compelling. An organisation filled with great leaders benefits from a high performance; high value culture where people thrive and levels of achievement, support and fun are at a premium. Recent studies by organisations such as Hay Group, KPMG and Hewitt Associates find that companies and individuals with stronger leadership practices are outperforming their peers in long term measures such as progression and financial growth.

One practice specifically separating the Top Companies and Individuals from all the others is the use of management and executive coaching. Leadership expert studies find that 47% of the Top 20 Companies for Leaders regularly assign coaches to their high potential employees, whilst only 10% of another 300 firms surveyed made a similar claim.  There is compelling evidence that the Top 20 companies know that management and executive coaching provides powerful tools to accelerate the performance of the most talented people they have within their organisation.

As a consequence, there has been an explosion in coaching over recent months. In a year when most of us watch in awe at the incredible achievements of some of the world’s greatest athletes as they compete for Gold; more and more layers of managers, from junior through to high flying executives and entrepreneurs, are seeking the support of reputable coaches to enable them to excel in their field.

Coaching can take many different forms and it is important to distinguish between coaches who help leaders become more effective individual leaders and coaches who help leaders and organisations develop leaders. It is also important to identify the dominant area of coaching need; whether it be coaching for organisational change; strategy coaching; cultural and diversity coaching; career progression; behavioural coaching; or people development to name a few.

What is clear is that there are some generic requirements depending on where you are in the organisation and where you want to get to. For example, at the early managerial stages, individuals often need more general, behavioural and career orientated coaching, and generalist coaching is an ideal solution. Whereas, at CEO level, more specific areas are identified. In this respect, top executives want to deal with expert coaches with knowledge of specific issues.

Whatever coaching need you have, there is no doubt that coaching plays a critical role in driving performance improvement and in enabling individuals to unlock the potential they have within.

In today’s fast moving, dynamic, commercial environment, another phenomenon of coaching is taking root. More and more individuals are choosing to arrange their own external coaching outside of any leadership training they receive in their organisation. Increasing numbers of people want to arrange coaching at their own personal expense and without the knowledge of their employer or peers. These ambitious, forward thinking individuals are self-developers wanting to develop winning strategies to give them the edge over all their peers and ‘competitors’. They don’t always know what they what or how to get there, but they have a determination and desire for success and understand the benefits a coach bring in helping them to formulate the right plan for the future.

If this is you, read on.

Leadership expert, Simon Teague is helping increasing numbers of people to reach their full potential through coaching. Well educated and experienced in the corporate and business arena, he has helped CEO’s of Blue Chip organisations and medium sized companies to develop visionary leadership styles and help take their companies from good to great performance levels. He has also helped hundreds of junior, middle and senior managers to learn new skills, become more effective leaders and progress rapidly in their careers and ultimately to experience their best year yet, year after year.

A qualified Best Year Yet® Coach, successful businessman and author of The Ultimate Leadership Guide, Simon is also amongst the world’s newest leadership thinkers and experts. Consequently he has access to some of the world’s best coaches and can match your needs with the right coaching skills to create a winning formula between you.

Coaches enter engagements as experts and sometimes as saviours. A strong relationship of trust and mutual respect is an essential ingredient of success. But most of all, people who desire a better future have to understand (and accept) that it’s not the coaches job to do it for them or give them a comfortable ride. Quite the opposite is true. The best coaches will be asking the most uncomfortable questions. Steering, guiding and nurturing your talent is a challenging but rewarding experience for both coach and coachee.

I often get asked to recommend coaches and be employed as a coach. It’s not unheard of for top-flight executives to pay up to £60,000 a year for top-flight coaches. However, I believe much more affordable and yet still as effective coaching programmes can be designed for each person’s individuals requirements.

What is true is that in EVERY case where good quality coaching has played its part, individuals have gone on to earn at least five-fold the amount of money they invested in the coaching within only a couple of years. What is also true, from my own experience and research into highly effective coaching, is that it cannot be a one hit wonder. Coaching only works over a period of time – (preferably a minimum of 1 year), when new habits, behaviours and skills can be learned, applied and measured.

I have therefore designed three ‘Olympic style’ coaching programmes to suit the majority of people’s needs. If you are serious about your future, I commend the silver programme to you:

The Power of Coaching – How To Make 2012 Your Best Ever Year.

Case Study – Interview by Laura L Brummer with David McAvoy, retired Regional Managing Director of one of the largest financial services companies in the UK.

Several years ago, David McAvoy became Regional Managing Director of the Regulated Sales Force for one of the largest financial services companies in the UK. There were many positive aspects of David’s new job – good people, a good product and a huge customer base.

But the job brought frustrations for David as well. His team was the worst performing region, attaining only 60% of its annual sales targets. In addition, staff satisfaction was at an all-time low; recruitment was slow and attrition was fast.

On a personal level, David had been giving everything of himself to the job, but because progress was slow he wasn’t satisfied. His children didn’t see him much and although she was supportive, his wife didn’t really understand David’s issues. (Does this sound familiar to your current situation?)

The Need for Change

It was at this point that David knew he needed to make some big changes at work and at home. With the help of a coach David was able to do just that. The coach used a proven method that uses a simple, straightforward approach that suited David’s personal style. He was asked a series of questions designed to establish what was most important to David and what goals he might set himself to experience a successful year, through continuous improvement.

The questions really made him think deeply about what was important in his life and how he might achieve success:

1. What did you accomplish last year?
2. What were your biggest disappointments?
3. How do you limit yourself and how do you stop?
4. What roles do you play in your life?
5. What are your top ten goals for next year?
6. How can you make sure you achieve these goals?

The coach walked David through the questions, helping him to identify his accomplishments, his disappointments and the lessons he could learn from what happened in the past year.

“I realised that I had accomplished some really great things but had never really acknowledged them,” explains David. “Once I reflected on all the things I had done, I felt good. I felt re-energised in a positive way.”

The Revelation

David’s next task was to guide the “Big Boys” through the same process he had been through. He wanted his board and then the whole team to go through the coaching model and develop a team strategy for the next year. “The process was an absolute revelation to us because it was so simple”, says David. “We had really convoluted, complex plans in the past. Each year we would take them out of a drawer and dust them off so we could draw up goals for the new year”. But this stop/start strategy hadn’t worked well to date.

The new process changed all that, because David put all of his managers and sales staff through the process. Many were skeptical, asking if it really was important and if the Region could afford to take the sales force off the road for a few days. Some even suggested that the managers filter the process down to the rest of the team.

Nevertheless, David stood firm, knowing he had an unbelievably effective tool in his hands. He insisted that each member of the management team go through the process on a one to one basis with a qualified coach. “I was determined not to cut corners, and more importantly, not to allow management to dilute the power of this little gem.” David went a step further by actually putting his support team – administrative assistants, secretaries, messengers and others – through the coaching as well.

The coaches helped to solidify the focus of David’s team. “We started to understand each other abit more and we became more trusting and forgiving,” explains David. “It helped turn weak goals into powerful goals with real purpose, resulting in an increase in productivity.”

Bringing the coaching to life

After completing the process with his team, David realised he needed to bring it to life for the business. “In a moment of madness, I put my personal plan in a frame and stuck it on the door of my office for all to see!” he says. This is what David’s team and anyone who walked into the office would read:

My Top 10 Goals For A Best Year Yet Are To:

1. Deliver my targets.
2. Spend one day with EVERY manager.
3. Maximise the effectiveness of the campaign and measure improvements.
4. Remove barriers for open communication with all staff.
5. Ensure we live up to the expectations of our investors.
6. Attend all my children’s school events.
7. Share in my wife’s successes and failures, giving quality time in support of her aspirations.
8. See my parents at least once a month.
9. Exercise three times a week, every week.
10. Take all of my vacations.

“I felt naked with all my guidelines and paradigms and goals on the wall. But in a weird way it was strangely satisfying”. David was leading his team by example.

David’s staff also made sure that the bottom of every single piece of documentation that left the office, including emails, memos and newsletters, stated; ‘This is our Best Year Yet’. “By including this important declaration, even those who hadn’t been through the programme yet began to get excited about what the coaching was doing for the team,” explains David.

The family side

The ‘Best Year Yet’ coach asked David questions about his home and family as well as his business aspirations – issues he hadn’t seriously considered before, such as:-

• What do you want out of life?
• Do you have a personal plan?
• Does that plan involve home?
• Where are you spending your time?

“The whole review was very powerful to me,” says David. “I was so wrapped up in the business I wasn’t thinking about what else was really important.”

David’s wife completed the plan as well. “It led us to a really interesting conversation”, reflects David. “It was quite weird, we’d been married 15 years and I’d never really talked to her about ‘her’ aspirations. She told me for the first time all the little things I had been doing that really annoyed her, like calling her part time job the ‘pocket-money’ job!”

The experience was a bonding one for both David and his family as the changes that the coach brought about in David made a difference to his children too. “I suddenly started to turn up to their school events. I couldn’t believe how shocked they were,” explains David. “I suppose I hadn’t realised how important it was to them – quite simply I started getting the balance right and started to feel quite good.”

The Rise to the Top

Results soon began to surface on the business side as well. In less than two years David’s Region quickly rose from last place to the top Region of the year. “We were unstoppable. We became the first Region to deliver 100% plus performance. Our performance was absolutely fantastic,” exclaims David. “And for the next four years, our performance improved year on year against ever increasing targets!”

“I believe we were successful because we were all achieving our personal goals,” he says. “As a result, the morale and motivation of my staff went through the roof.”

To David the most satisfying outcome of all were the results of the year’s Staff Satisfaction Survey.  Satisfaction had increased from a low point of 41% to 92% within four years, the highest score of any other Region.

David is thrilled that his team followed along with him. “It meant that each and every one of my team had achieved their personal best year ever”, he says. “And that meant the business achieved its best year, year after year.”

The Results

The results prove that the investment in a coach alongside a structured goal orientated system was worth the time, energy and hard work for David and his team. “I honestly do not believe that we would have tackled our situation if it hadn’t been for the Best Year Yet coaching system,” says David, who went on to list some incredible business results:

• Rose to the top region within 2 years.
• Added £7 million to the bottom line during the first 2 years.
• Income from sales grew 87% over a five year period.
• 80% of David’s team went on to senior roles in the Group.
• Staff satisfaction increased from 41% to 92% – the best score in the Country.
• Became the first team to deliver 100% plus performance in a tough and stretching performance climate.
• Created a high performance, high value culture.
• Learned to focus on results that matter.
• Attained alignment and teamwork.

“The cost of ‘Best Year Yet’ doesn’t even register when measured against the gains,” says David. “It is insignificant when you look at what it delivered to me and my team.” David is also proud of the personal results that the process made possible as well:

• He and his wife are stronger than ever.
• His children get to see him more, because work success has enabled him to delegate and rely on the power of ‘the system’.
• He was asked to join the Executive team.
• With a further promotion, he is now responsible for over 4,000 staff and bringing Best Year Yet to them.

Personal Mentoring – A Blossoming Industry?

Personal Mentoring is an industry undergoing heavy growth in recent years as the reemergence of delegating begins to hit personal development. It’s hard to initially figure out whether this is something we should be lauding or some we should be frowning upon. Should we be encouraging the proactive step of hiring someone who will work with you to develop yourself, or should we see it as a sign of apathy towards personal development?

Well, Loral Langemeier seems to think it’s a good thing. Loral Langemeier has a large presence in the online mentoring field, and her company has grown so large that she now has a team to actually provide coaching classes to clients. Recently she plugged her new book in The Huffington Post:

“In my upcoming book, Put More Cash In Your Pocket, I show you a simple and straightforward approach that will help you put more cash, $1000 or more a month, in your pocket in no time. I’ve helped thousands of people make extra cash fast — people from all different backgrounds, in a variety of situations, all over the world. People just like you. And I do it by helping you to make your life bigger, not smaller.”

This sort of elevator pitch sets Loral Langemeier up as a ‘make $$$ with my book’ “Guru” rather than a considered and professional adviser. However I don’t think that spot truly reflected what Loral is about, and in any case. In fact, a proactive approach to starting a new business, as she recommends to those who buy her book, is a good decision that I recommend to others everyday.

Many have spotted the irony of hiring someone to help you with ‘personal development’, however what I’d say to those people is this: Have you ever read a personal development blog? Have you ever read a personal development book? If so, then in the same way you have allowed others to influence your personal development. And so on consideration, I believe that hiring coaches makes as much sense as reading a good book on the subject. Receiving good knowledge from a mentor can only aid your journey.

What about the fees that these coaches charge? Well, I believe that the decision to hire them is clearly down to the individual. Many people do believe they’re getting good value for money from coaches, and hence the industry has continuing. You cannot really place a value on being inspired, and this means that everyone has a different opinion on how much a life coach should cost.

Ultimately, I don’t see the growth of the life coaching industry as a sign of apathy. In fact, that people are willing to spend up to £100 per hour on a coach to aid them to do so, only reflects the increased importance people have actually placed upon it!

Capello’s success lauded by management experts

23rd June

Following England’s victory against Slovenia this afternoon, Ruth Spellman, chief executive of the Chartered Management Institute (CMI) provides a post-match analysis of the manager the nation doubted:

“England’s all-important win today is testament to Capello’s proven track record as one of the world’s best football managers. His record at club level is exemplary and, when it comes to taking charge of our national team, we mustn’t forget that it was under Capello’s stewardship that England got through the qualifying stages in the first place. Despite recent speculation about his ability, and two disappointing draws, Capello has rallied his team and pulled England back from the brink of following France and South Africa into an early exit.

“A recent survey of UK workers revealed that, despite his fierce reputation, Capello is the manager one in five of us would most like to be managed by (second only to Sir Alex Ferguson). It is Capello’s ability to command respect that has undoubtedly enabled him to put criticism and media speculation aside and lead the England team to victory, averting a shameful early exit from World Cup 2010.

“Capello may have earned himself a reputation as disciplinarian, aloof and detached from his players but, in truth, it’s evident to us that his primary management strength is his ability to provide direction and communicate his vision to the team – he’s a born leader and it shows.

“The four foundation stones of good management are strong leadership, getting results, working with people and managing yourself, and the resources at your disposal, well. The last few days have proven that Capello is a master at all of these.

“But what can managers, leaders and employers across the country learn from his approach? Capello understands how to utilise the strengths of his particular management style in order to deliver the best results from his coaching. Whether you want to work for Capello, or just be a bit more like him, the key to improving your management technique and becoming a better all-round manager is knowing what you’re good at and how to develop any weaker areas. To learn more about your primary management strengths and whether you manage like Capello visit www.comparethemanager.com.”

Leadership Coaching

All excellent leaders regularly invest in themselves. Leaders have often sought out useful leadership books and learning material that will help them along the path to happiness and leadership. These days, many e-courses tend to be rather disappointing, but I’m pleased to recommend one e-course that is still respected by leadership professionals such as myself: Best Year Yet®. It is an on-line goal orientated leadership programme, which provides you with core habits, a new way of thinking and an ability to act on the things you have planned for to make you successful. it can be a self-directed learning programme, or you can opt for the support of a dedicated ‘on-line’ or ‘face-to-face’ coach.

About Leadership Coaching

Leadership coaches are experienced individuals whom charge wealthy clients between $50 and $500 per hour for their services. Similar to consultants – leadership coaches will analyse your personal situation and problems, and us their own tools and experience to produce solutions.

Coaching and Leadership have always been intertwined due to the very personal nature of leadership, and how it is best taught through either self reflection and literature, or through having a guru.

Is having your own leadership coach all that its cracked up to be? Or are they just overpaid individuals who simply tell you to get up off your chair and speak louder?

Is It Worthwhile?

I personally believe that, like consultants – leadership coaches are worthwhile for medium to large organisations where even tiny incremental changes at the top can increase profits by 5 figures or more. Without this scale, leadership coaches can drain resources at perhaps a time when budgets are tight and cash flow is poor, so choosing the right leadership coach and right level of coaching intervention is very important.

Is There A Cheaper Alternative?

A fresh alternative to expensive traditional leadership coaching is to join the private membership club of one of the world-famous personal development gurus. You’re going to get the same quality of material and ideas, and in much higher volume, which however means that YOU have to decide which pieces of knowledge are relevant to your situation to act on. There are several exclusive communities out there, my favourite being Patric Chan’s Success Trace Private Membership Club. It’s just £3 for the first month and £10 GBP thereafter which means that a years membership to – quite frankly – an impressive resource, is available a a price lower than one hour with a face-to-face leadership coach.

Alternatively, you can sign up to a proven coaching programme ideally suited to the Leadership-expert™ global leadership audience. Full details are given here.

Conclusion

Leadership coaches are becoming more prevalent now that companies are becoming leadership orientated and aware that autocratic leadership is not always the most appropriate way of running a business. Looking at the other options in a thorough and methodical way is something a standard CEO is not trained for. This is where leadership coaches really come into play.
