OUR TOP TIPS

First Things First: One way to ensure that your call is well worth the time and money, is to prioritize what you want to go over. Coaching calls are not the place to save the best for last. Put the most important item at the top of your list. That way, even if that's the only item that gets handled, the call will have been worthwhile.

Make Clear Requests: Once you have your list and the priority, write down the clear requests/support you need from your coach in one or two short, clear statements. For example, let's say your number one topic is, "How to make my business more profitable in the next 60 days?" Ask yourself, "How do I want my coach to support me in this?" Do you want to brainstorm some new ideas, or develop the ideas you already have by talking them through, maybe tackle unconscious fears or self-sabotage, or get some recommended resources information from your coach, etc? Make your needs and requests known – your coach is skilled and proficient in many areas except mind reading :-)

Be 100% Responsible: Take full responsibility for the coaching. Don't hire a coach and think they will do all the work for you. Don't expect him or her to 'do coaching' on you. A healthy approach to coaching is to consider yourself 100% responsible for how the relationship goes and what value you get out of each call. This is not to say that you keep working with a coach if the alliance does not work for you. Taking 100% responsibility might include completing with your coach and finding another, or taking a break from coaching.

Prepare Your State of Mind: Take a few extra minutes before the call to mentally prepare yourself, rather than 'jamming' the call into an already full day and an overcrowded mind space. In the words of one coaching client, 'When I book a call with my coach, I write down the time of the call in my calendar', then I book in an additional 15 to 30 minutes for prep time. This way I know that I will be ready to reap the benefits. I may take a short walk and think, I may look over my prep form, whatever. I make sure that I take the time to 'shift gears' from my usually busy day. It pays off in big dividends."
