Business Coaching
Let’s discuss various types of coaching. There are many types of Coaching, but we should divide these in two broad classes; Professional Coaching and Personal Coaching, each of these two categories can be further defined as :
Professional Coaching:
- Business Coaching,
- Executive Coaching,
- Performance Coaching, and
- Skills Coaching.
Personal Coaching:
- Life Coaching,
- Mom Coaching, and
- Family Coaching.
We will define each and every category in our next articles; Today we are only going to discuss Business Coaching.
Organizational development and changes brought about by mergers and acquisitions as well as the need to provide key employees with support through a change of role or career are often catalysts, which inspire companies to seek coaching.
There was a time, when coaching was reserved only for senior managers and company directors, now it is available to all as a professional or personal development tool. Coaching is also closely linked with organizational change initiatives in order to help staff to accept and adapt to changes in a manner consistent with their personal values and goals.
Coaching focuses on the individuals, can enhance morale, motivation, productivity and reduce staff turnover as individuals feel valued and connected with both small and large organizational changes. This role may be provided by internal coaches and, increasingly, by professional coaching agencies.
Coaching programs generally are proven to be popular amongst employees as coaching achieves a balance between fulfilling organizational goals and objectives whilst taking into account the personal development needs of individual employees. It is a two-way relationship with both the organization and the employee gaining significant benefits.
There is also an increasing trend for individuals to take greater responsibility for their personal & professional development and even those who are employed in large organizations are no longer relying on employers to provide them with all or their career development needs. There has been an increase in the number of individuals contracting coaches on a private basis. Some are looking for a career change, but many are also seeking to maximize their potential with an existing employer or achieve greater balance with their work and home lives.
