Who Needs A Coach
"We could all use
a little coaching. When you’re playing
the game, it’s hard to think of everything."
- Jim Rohn

Over the
last few years we have heard more and more about “personal” coaches. Some coaches deal with your finances, some
with marriages and still some with families.
There are coaches who help people find jobs, create jobs or do their job
better. Coaches can help you in just
about every area of life that you can think of.
But when it comes down to it, do you really need a coach?
The quick answer is, not
always. It is easy for some people to
just hand their problems and decisions in life off to others, even pay them for
answers. The purpose of a real coach is
not to give you answers, but to help YOU
find answers yourself. They are there to
guide and direct, which sometimes is the job of good old common sense.
However, for those
success-minded people who are actively pursuing your goals in life, a coach may
be just the thing you need. It is funny
how people who really don’t need a coach tend to want one and people who could
greatly benefit from the help of a coach do not get one.
When you are actively pursuing
something that takes thought, good decisions and guidance, this is the time to
get a coach. A good coach will help you
to think about all those things that you may not get to on your own. As Jim Rohn said, “When you’re playing the
game, it’s hard to think of everything.”
We all need some help from time to time.
That is not a sign of weakness but rather a sign of wisdom.
When you are looking for a
coach, do your homework. Find a good
coach who knows what they are doing and have had some solid training. I suggest that you contact Daryl and Janet
Daughtry with the Biblical Coaching Alliance.
They train and know hundreds of good, qualified coaches that can give
you just the help you need.
I would never suggest that you
run off and get a coach when you really just have to make some basic decisions
and see things through. But if you are
actively on the journey to achievement and need a bit of help to move forward,
then a coach is the best thing you can do for yourself.
