It seems everyone I talk to about Coaching these days seems to already know what it is, for god or bad.
What I hear, though is mostly confusing consulting and advising. Consulting and advising isn’t Coaching, at least not in the same of how I experience it and its benefits.
I am hoping to interview two people I look forward to sharing their ideas and experiences in those two fields I am interested in, Coaching and real estate. One is a local Realtor in Long Beach who has been Coaching Realtors for some time now and the other is Joeann Fossland, a well known figure and public speaker.
I think Coaching is at its infancy. We can thank the people who have been doing it the last 30 years, bringing it from a concept to an actual measured benefit system. I was reading the International Coaching Federation’s (ICF) newsletter last night that reported many articles written this year all underlining the fact that people who are coached get more out of life.
I believe it is a great new needed profession that is being recognize for its potential. Already many Coaches specialized in leadership and ethics. How wonderful if they can reach politicians now. I truly believe it is a profession that will grow exponentially and will cover so many segments, as it is very needed. I am happy to be part of it as it deeply fulfills my spiritual quests, my humanitarian need to help others and my innate team spirit in getting communities to work together.
In the meantime, I think we should use a different word than Coach. I think people think of sports coach who tells you what to do.
