Where do you see yourself?

A few days ago we looked in the rearview mirror of our life and business... 

Today is different. What if you were to look in the 'front view mirror', meaning the mirror of your future?

Where do you see yourself in 12 months time?

If you are clear, and you have a solid track record in planning for and achieving your goals - great going! 

If, however, there often is a gap between your aspirations and the reality, you might require professional help.

Let's tackle some frequently asked questions about coaching... (whether for life or business)

• Q: "What's in it for me?" --- A: if you ever felt like wasting a lot of time, effort, energy and money on something without getting the result, coaching can help you to achieve your goals faster than you would on your own. 
• Q: "How do I know who to engage as my coach?" --- A: as the saying goes, when the student is ready, the teacher walks in. You'll know! 
• Q: "What can I expect from working with a coach?" --- A: you'll save incredible amounts of time and money. People often spend a fortune and a lifetime trying to figure things out on their own. Don't be like them! Save yourself the frustrations. As you invest in yourself through coaching, you'll get 'there' much faster.
• Q: "Do we meet face to face or how does it work?" --- A: That's the best part - No, most of it happens online. We know that time is limited and convenience is king, so we leverage technology for your benefit.
• Q: "How much time and work does it involve?" --- A: It depends on what you are trying to achieve... The coaching in itself is comparable to a visit to your dentist. Our job is help you get from A to B in the least amount of time possible. We are hyper conscious of your time and ensure that we invest it wisely, knowing your objectives. The same applies for the actions to take. We look for the path of least resistance, which we can see more easily because we are objectively involved. If we can do it in 2 steps, we won't waste a hundred to help you get there. Remember: sitting for too long in the dentist's chair starts hurting our mouth! The faster they pull out the rotten tooth, the better!
• Q: "What if I don't have time (or money) to work with a coach?" --- A: Ah! People are soooo busy! It's an excuse sooo often used :-) Seriously, how much do you want to improve? How much of the same old same old are you prepared to put up with? If you don't have enough time, THAT in itself is probably part of your problem - correct? Equally, if you think that you cannot afford coaching, that is probably also the reason why you are not getting ahead after all... I am not being rude, I just want to be honest with you and call you up on your BS stories so that you can choose a different path from now on.
• Q: "What if I change my mind?" --- A: That's fine. Give it a try and if it doesn't work for you, opt out any time. We both understand that we are entering in a fair exchange relationship. To the extend that you receive Value, you'll continue paying. To the extend that you feel that you aren't getting Value, you stop paying and the services dry up. That's how it goes.
• Q: "When does it start, and when does it end?" --- A: In my world, I want to be accountable to my clients. It means that I put myself on the line to deliver Value. The fact that I don't lock clients in time-bound contracts ensures that I do the right thing by you as your coach. I count on you paying me the same respect back. Again, it's about fair exchange. You decide when it's time to start and end. The steering wheel is in your hands.
• Q: "How do I know that I am ready to be coached?" --- A: The teacher walks in when... the student is ready! That's right. Just trust your intuition. It speaks volumes.

Hopefully these Q&As assist you in your decision making. It's important to me that you feel comfortable.
