Times and attitudes have changed. Now refusing to do so is unimagi nable. A coach in today’ s world makes the difference between Good or Gr eat\, no matter if we talk about Health or Wealth.\nWhat are the “sympto ms” of a great business-coach? What can inform us if the money and time are worth investing in one? As the Business Coaching industry continues to expand\, prospective clients will eventually \nneed to pay more and more attention to: \n1= Determining the must-have skills and competency of a gr eat business-coach.\n2= Determining the value that will be provided. \nThe refore\, what prospective clients ought to be asking is: “How do I know how to choose a great business coach?” It begins with learning how to de tect competency and congruency\, or lack thereof\, within the \nperson cal ling themselves a “business-coach.” Paying attention body language\, f or example\, posture\,gestures\, speech rate\, their use of verbal-languag e\, and vocal intonations are an important start\, for it can also lead to uncovering the potential business-coach’s knowledge\, experience\, inte grity\,intelligence\, fairness\, and \nmuch more.\nA great business-coach plays to his/her strengths\; metaphorically speaking\, they “don’t pro mise the sea as a gift when they don't know how the river flows.” They w ill know how to differentiate the methods and \ntechniques to be used\, wh ich is based on the client’s real-time feedback .They’ll also possess proven methodologies and tools for success\, for example\, the coveted ski ll of Packing questions and Unpacking responses.\nPacking determines the d ifference between a smart question and a stupid one. It also causes the cl ient to strategically focus. A thought-provoking question changes the brai n’s chemistry\, re arranging the \nneurological paths\, breaking the sel f defense mechanisms of the Ego. The more Time the client spends thinking because of the question posed to them\, the better the Question is. “How do you know?” is definitely \nthe best question ever. “How do you kno w when to be angry during a meeting and be nice during the next one?” “How do you know when to start being mad and furious? Change takes time so does the answer. The more reluctant the client is\, the stronger the ev idence is that the question broke the wall of inner self defense. \nKnowin g what to notice and how to draw out what’s relevant from what’s irrel evant within the client’s communication are vital. This is unpacking. An d a great coach is a master of this skill. In other words\, metaphorically speaking\, they possess the ability to see the tree in the forest during foggy weather instead of trying to clear the fog!”\nA great business coa ch oftentimes has a strong NLP background. This enables them to recognize conscious and unconscious responses. Unconscious reluctance is a self-defe nse mechanism\, meaning that the person is \ntrying to defend their existi ng patterns\, beliefs\, or inner ideas that stops them from being successf ul. \nThe last but not the least\, the best business coaches not only will help you to establish new roots or strengthen the useful ones\, they’ll teach you tools you can utilize for a lifetime\, and strategies to enter and \nmaintain positive states during and beyond their coaching sessions t hat will allow you to reach your goal –the one you’ve chosen to make r eal.
