Coaching is transformation help

Make the changes that you want... to make your life, health, or business extraordinary. Assess yourself to see if you or your business need coaching.

What is coaching?

Being coached is helping you achieve your goals. Coaching is having your own personal guide through the process of change.

What happens in coaching?

Coaching is done through guided, scientifically-based conversation between a coach and client. This conversation can be done via telephone or Internet webcamera. The coaching process varies somewhat for every client. However there is a general format:

Discovering client values and destination desires
Creating initial timelines and/or benchmark goals
Short term goal-setting towards the long-view destinations
Solutions of weekly issues or concerns
Creating new skills and new knowledge
Arrival at benchmark goals
Arrival at destination goals

The timeline of arrival at the destination varies from client to client, and from project to project. Changes can begin in as little as one week. Some clients have a finite destination (as in personal coaching); some clients like having the coach as an ongoing partner, like in project coaching. Most clients achieve successes that they never before imagined they could [themselves] achieve.

Consultation or coaching?

With this discussion about coaching, perhaps it's difficult to know the difference between "consultation" and "coaching". While a coach can be an expert in a special field, similar to a consultant, the difference is in the interaction approach: a coach uses methods so the client makes the most evolution possible in the shortest about of time. The client evolves because he/she did it him/herself. The deepest changes come from personal ownership of the process. In Lauren's view, the goal of coaching is for the client to no longer need the coach.

Lauren also functions as a consultant for clients seeking more indepth assistance. The client is educated to understand the difference between the coaching and consultation in the client's own needs.

Assess yourself for coaching

How do you know if you (or your company) needs a coach? Ask yourself a few simple questions... (Note: this is only a sample list of questions)

Personal improvements

Do I want to change something about my life, but feel stuck?
Do I feel energetic inside my body?
Do I feel fit, like what I see in the mirror, or feel like I can approach most physical obstacles with ease?
Do I manage my time so I don't feel frenzied?
Does my family complain about the time I don't spend with them?
Do I feel anxious about one --or more-- parts of my life: my body, my work hours, my home hours, my personal time?
and more - read the section on Personal Coaching

Business improvements

Am I a small business with a new project to pursue, and not able to "get things together" to start or continue it?
Do many of my employees lack efficiency, overweight, look stressed?
Do my employees stuck in poor communication and solving problems with management or each other?
Are my work meetings quick and efficient?
Do I often ask myself, "Where did the communications breakdown occur?"
and more - read the section on Business Coaching

Corporate coaching

Corporations have discovered that coaching is an efficient way to uncover the processes to excellence. Lauren Muney has lectured to corporations on how to coach subordinates, coached their managers, and taught the principles of listening. In addition, coaching is an excellent obstacle-solution tool.

Corporate coaching can take many forms:

lectures or seminars
situational (in office) observations
coaching managers to work better with subordinates
coaching sales staff how to approach customers
coaching towards a new project, dream or goal: perfect for small-business owners
and more.

Coaching Methods

The methods for coaching and educating clients are far reaching. These draw on many disciplines, theories, and practices. Sssh: this list is seemlessly folded inside the coaching:

somatics
biomechanics
mindfulness and integral psychology
human behavior theories and studies
sports nutrition information
peak performance
neurolinguistic programming (NLP)
behavior modification techniques
marketing concepts
teaching methods
understanding of humans: communication, stresses, values, etc
technology
research

If you aren't familiar with the subjects listed here, that's natural - these advanced subjects form the basis for Lauren Muney to guide people to a healthier level of living. You don't have to know them - she does.
