Successful Coaching Requires Commitment

About a month ago I posted my first Facebook Live video. The topic of the video was the importance of commitment to achieving coaching success.

I feel the message is an important one and I would like to share it on my blog. So this will be a slightly different blog post. Instead of embedding the video in my blog post I am inserting the link to the video which is located on Facebook. Why am I doing that? Because I haven’t figured how to embed Facebook videos into my blog … smiling.

The commitment I talk about is not the commitment of the coach. I feel that is a given. The coach must be committed, must e experienced at coaching and must be knowledgeable in his/her area of expertise.

The commitment that I speak about is the commitment of the client. The client has to be committed to the process, to following that process and to doing the work.

My area of expertise is public and presentation skills. I help entrepreneurs and business professionals become confident, engaging and effective speakers. One of the things I tell my clients early in the coaching cycle is that you don’t learn how to speak by listening to me speak. I help them identify and grow their strengths and discover areas that need improvement and together we develop strategies to help them become confident, engaging and effective speakers.

I have been coaching clients for several years and the one thing that determines if the client is successful in achieving their speaking goals is their level of commitment. They have to be willing to follow the process and more importantly they have to be committed to doing the work. The ones who had that commitment showed tremendous progress.

I believe that client commitment is the secret sauce for any type of coaching. There is nothing more inspiring than watching someone who is committed to doing the work necessary to achieve their goals.
