Cheerleader or Coach you decide

I had an interesting conversation with a friend of mine.  We were talking about a sermon topic that her pastor had shared with them the night before.  The message included an element I found to be very interesting.  The message had the motive to inspire people to start putting themselves in environments where the people that they are connected to would change from a group of individuals that would cheer you on from the sidelines of life (cheerleaders) to individuals who would be in position with the purpose to COACH you in life. He suggested further that we let go of the cheerleaders and enlist some coaches. I agree with his position on the belief that our connections, the people we network and affiliate ourselves with are a very important element to our own individual life successes.    I also begin to think about that since I became a Life and Business coach there has been many speculations that have surfaced about what is it exactly that I do. 

So in this posting, I will answer two questions: What is coaching? And why as we approach the year 2010 is Coaching the way to go?

When you hear the word “coach”, what comes first into your mind? Do you picture a basketball team with a man/woman shouting out directions? Or perhaps a football team with a man/woman pacing to and fro and calling out the names of the players?

 Coaching is no longer reserved to sports teams; it is now one of the key concepts in leadership, management and personal development.

 Here is why you need a coach…

 #1 Coaching levels the playing field.

I have found that there are many people that are very well competent and motivated to pursue their dreams and aspirations but usually lack in setting and achieving long-term goals to make their dreams live.  Coaching empowers women to make things happen.

 #2 coaching promotes individual and team excellence

Developing A spirit of excellence is an important element in successful living.  Working with a Coaching will help you to build up confidence and increase competence by assessing your strengths and weaknesses and you will have the opportunity to create a strategic plan for both your spiritual and professional development.

 #3 Coaching produces valuable leaders.

Leadership by example is important in coaching and important to me. As a coaching leader, I too must be able to prove through evidence of my own lifestyle that I have a lifestyle that is organized, that I have the ability to communicate openly and that I am also highly competent in my field. My gift of teaching gives me the ability to communicate the same ideas and concepts that have allowed me to be successful in the area that I serve in and then share these wins with you.

 Why as we approach 2010 is coaching the way to go? 

I believe that many of us women, who have prepared adequately, are going to be presented many opportunities in the New Year.  Those opportunities will call for you to make very important decisions.  As a woman of Faith, working with those that can help nurture, empower and inspire you to live your dream would be the first best decision you can make for the New Year!  So my call to action is this.  GET A COACH!

My Approach- Group Coaching

I love to coach women in groups.  I believe that when we learn together we are more powerful and more stronger.  Because we are unit we can help each other move towards destiny through compassion and the sharing of our experiences.  I have created tons of workshops for women to come together and begin to learn and educate one another. As your COACH, you will have the opportunity to connect, engage, and get empowered through strategic principles that I have found have made a major impact in both my life and the lives of the women I coach.  The Word of God tells us that ,  ”iron sharps iron.”  And through these connections we will take the journey of destiny and purpose holding the hands of our fellow women.

Coaching in groups makes your learning process even more dynamic but it also allows for the affordability for almost any woman on a average budget to participate.

Workshops Fees Range from $25.00- 75.00 depending on the nature and topic of the workshop.
