A group of experts decided that all coaches "should have proficiencies in listening, creating an environment for change, facilitating self-awareness, and should be able to work with personal, professional, and perhaps organizational issues about which their clients want to focus."
Dr. Lee Smith and Dr. Jeannine Sandstrom further noted that "executive coaching is a facilitative one-to-one, mutually designed relationship which exists... for the benefit of a client who is accountable for highly complex decisions."
...
A good coaching interaction should include such elements as "the ability to be fully present, conscious and spontaneous, the ability to ask powerful questions, be a direct communicator, and raise the client's awareness."
An advanced coach would also "hold a high level of confidence, challenge people at high levels, speak the truth and the secrets when no one else will. They also must be a confidante, which allows adults to share all sides of themselves; their hopes as well as fears, their wants as well as their needs; their dreams for themselves as well as for their organizations."
Coaching is getting the attention of church leaders, too. George Bullard wrote: "Coaching is an emerging right brained approach that sees relationship as more important than tasks, significance as more important than success, stories as more important than strategies, experience as more important than rule books, people as more important than institutions, soaring with strengths as more important than problem solving."
Life coaching may not have gained enough recognition in this part of the world, but those who have experienced it so far seems to be better than their peers. If I were you, I will make every effort to get one soon. It is worth the sacrifice.
