Who does coaching help?
A coach generally works with high functioning individuals who are mentally and emotionally ready to move forward in life. They are individuals who are ready to take things up a level and challenge themselves to live more authentically either personally, professionally, or both. Coaching clients are not perfect people however, and they have personal weaknesses and ways of sabotaging their own progress, just like the rest of us. Having a coach allows these individuals to see their own blind spots and work towards changing them, while at the same time specifying their goals and effectively and systematically pursuing them. It should be noted that coaching does not help people who have a great deal of difficulty accepting constructive criticism and honest feedback. Any client who has reasonable expectations of personal or professional improvement must be open to the process of coaching as well as to the results that may or may not be achieved.
