The same coach can produce a world class talent as well as a total failure within the same class or cluster. This arises when there is disconnect between the trainer and the talent. This calls for caution when hiring a personal development coach. Certain preliminary questions need answers to enable you achieve the desired coaching goals.
What do you want to achieve at the end of the coaching session? This will be directed by your weaknesses and goals for a particular season. This awareness will also enable you to choose the best trainer. Review the type and quality of skills you need to possess in the near future in order to identify the right person to help you attain such skills. A coaching session without targets will be a waste of time and not add any value to your skills or life.
What would you like to reinforce or add in your career or life? This could be spiritual, social, academic or even career wise. The reason most people do not achieve their long term goals is too much focus on present day engagement. The fact that you survived today is not an assurance that you are prepared for tomorrow. The coaching program should consist of review sessions that help you monitor your strengths and weaknesses. It is an opportunity to develop strategies that push you to the next level.
What is the one thing that would change my life if I did or stopped doing? Not everything is right and neither is everything wrong in your life. Everyone has a weakness that when addressed would unlock his or her potential. Identify yours and your life will take a new trajectory.
How do you confirm that you have become the person you intended? This is connected to your goals in life. It must be noted that coaches do not transform people. They only guide them and it is the person to become. You need to set beacons that inform you that you are on the intended path to success or your coaching is not bearing desired fruits. This also helps you to know whether to continue with coaching or change strategy.
What is the previous performance of the coach? This is not an invitation to judge the trainer at a similar level with you. In fact, research indicates that successful coaches were not good players during their days. Success should be measured by reviewing the outcome of the current class. If the class has been successful, it is also likely that you will be successful. If the class failed, the possibility of failure is there. Focus more on the strategies laid and personal relationships when evaluating the potential of a coach.
What are your celebration plans? Do not view this as a question of overconfidence. Rather, it is a psychological way of appreciating your current efforts as you prepare for future pursuits. It marks the end of a phase and the beginning of another. It also enables you to recognize growth and therefore adjust strategies with your eyes on future growth.
While a personal development trainer has a role to play in your self actualization, most of the work is yours. You have the role of implementing the ideas shared and taking the personal initiative to achieve more. Set goals and work hard towards achieving them. These goals must be realistic and be provided with the resources required to actualize them.
