Coaching For The Recent College Graduate Leads To Outstanding Career Advancement
By Mel Richardson
The coaching process is designed to bring out your potential and take you to the next level. It serves as a mechanism which will allow you to experience long-term growth and development, at the same time improving your performance. A coach should create a condition that allows for continuous development. It should be noted that the primary function of coaching is to lessen a variance or rather close the gap between your current level of achievement and the desired level you have targeted in conjunction with your coach. There are several avenues you can pursue in this venture. First it can be one workshop or it can be a myriad of interactions.
Your coach should assess your performance by reviewing the situation as it stands today. Next you and your coach should sit down and define achievable realistic goals, explore several ideas by brainstorming, and then put a plan of action into place with episodes of follow up. Initially you might think you don’t need a coach, then I suggest you think again. Anyone that has ever achieved any level of greatness in any endeavor has had a coach. Michael Jordan arguably the greatest player to have played the game of basketball, had a coach. Professional athletes have coaches for different areas such as conditioning, health and nutrition, free throw shooting, blocking, batting, passing, and defense.
Any area that you desire to excel in or reach perfection it is a good idea to get a coach. Consider the business executive looking for a promotion. They center in on those key areas which need enhancing and they get a coach to expedite the process.

circumstances as they exist today. Example: Coach: I notice when you make sales calls your approach is mechanical and contrived. It sounds rehearse and insincere as though you are reading a script.
Step three allows you and your coach to come together to discuss every possible initiative available for accomplishing the desired result.
Example: Perhaps you can listen to some of the other seasoned sales representatives as they make sales calls. Or we can record your sales pitch and play it back and correct your weaknesses and at the same time build upon your strengths.
The next phase calls for planning an action process.
The next step allows you and your coach to put the action plan or process to work.
The next step allows you and your coach to see what is working and what is not working. Are the stated goals being met or at least is there a process improvement over the previous week , month or quarter.
The coaching process enhances potential by asking questions and receiving constructive feedback that will encourage you to become more aware of your strengths and weaknesses. Eliminate the things you are not doing so well and enhance the things you are doing well. This allows you to develop new skills which allows you to take on more challenges. What ensues is your competence and confidence improve, your esteem grows, which encourages you to take more initiative in going after your stated goals. Coaching leads to the road to success and eventually will take you beyond greatness!!!!!!
