"Every person is free to rise as far as they are able or willing, but the degree to which each thinks determines the degree to which each will rise." — Ayn Rand

COACHING ROI

Is Your Company Thinking about Offering A Coaching Program?

One of the first questions is "What is the ROI for a Company's Coaching Program??

689%!!

Booz Allen hired a consulting company this year to study the return on its coaching program. The study found that ALL the leaders applied what they learned to improve their own development, while 53% went beyond that to significantly improve their relationships with teams and peer members.

The benefits were $3.3 million in the year 2003, while the coaching for last year's 45 participants cost $414,310. That means the return on investment was 689%, according to the study.

"This is just the beginning," said Vernita Parker-Williams, program manager at Booz Allen. "Being able to provide one-on-one tailored development" is invaluable", she said.

The 5-Step Turn-Around Program sets the stage for your success and maps the most direct path to align your inner passion, ambitions, and goals.

Your strategic, practical success vision focuses your coaching goals, frees up your time, and energizes your life!

STEP #1: BOOST YOUR LIFE VITALITY— ALIGN YOUR ENERGY FOR PEAK PERFORMANCE

What's the first step to get you UNSTUCK? Yes, you guessed it — BOOST YOUR LIFE VITALITY!

So, how do I do that, you ask! Let's compare two scenarios:

Scenario #1: Compare your beliefs and action when you're feeling fatigued and when you're energized!

  • What's your first thought when you're tired and feeling fatigued? You think about sleep and avoidance of that "one more thing to do".
  • What's your perspective when you're feeling energized, inspired, and motivated to take focused action? You feel like you can take on the world. You say, "What's one more thing? I can handle it — just add it to the list!"

Scenario #2: Compare your energy and motivation on a Saturday morning...

  • When you have a full day of household chores and yard work (unless you love that type of activity!) and
  • When you jump out of bed, energized and excited about your golf outing, day at the beach or lunch with your friends...

Did you notice the shift in your energy and enthusiasm when you were focused on an event that you were "looking TOWARD or forward to?"

That's the key — activate your passion to take inspired action TOWARD your GOAL!! When you are motivated TOWARD your goal, time seems to fly and you almost "lose track of time"!

A first step is to boost your life vitality so you have the reserve needed to take action TOWARD your goal!

  • Assess your Life Vitality — complete your Life Vitality Assessment!
  • Create your Life Vitality Strategic Plan to focus on your top priorities!

Take Action on 20% of your Energy Drains for 80% Benefit!

  • Clear out energy drains for increased creativity and mental clarity.
  • Eliminate tolerations and double your sustainable energy.
  • Finish what is unfinished so that the past is completed and nothing is hanging on.

STEP #2: PROMOTE YOUR PHYSICAL VITALITY — SCHEDULE A DAILY APPOINTMENT FOR YOUR FITNESS LIFESTYLE!

Are you passionate about being fit and value physical vitality, but you're continually challenged with finding the time or ANY time to workout?

You know that if you exercise, you'll feel more focused and energetic and be more productive.

What's holding you back...

  • Is it your schedule?
  • Are you feeling too tired to exercise?
  • Is it family commitments?
  • Does that "one last thing" to be completed distract you from taking care of YOU??

Do you lack vitality to SHOW UP for Your Life and you can't seem to get off the treadmill? What's the personal and professional cost to you?

  • Can't seem to find time for exercise?
  • Do you get a jump-start in your energy at day-end?
  • Do you then find yourself wide-awake at 1AM AND have a critical presentation at 8AM?

Take INSPIRED ACTION on the 5 components of a Vibrant Lifestyle!

  • Consistent and rigorous exercise
  • High energy nutrition that nourish your body for peak performance
  • Positive thoughts and attitude to expand your vision and strengthen your empowering beliefs
  • Restful sleep to recharge your energy
  • Nurturing and energizing community of people who champion your success, unconditionally

Your physical vitality is key to your success: Get into INSPIRED ACTION.

STEP #3: DISCOVER YOUR DRIVERS AND NATURAL MOTIVATORS — LEVERAGE YOUR INNATE STRENGTHS... Embrace Your Uniqueness — What Sets You Apart From Others

Now what? I still feel drained (or at least I don't have the vitality that you're referring to) and I'm not even sure which career direction is best for me!

This is the fun part because it's all about YOU!!! Let's first get to know YOU!

How do you see yourself? How do others see you? The most important question is how do you WANT to be seen by others — not SHOULD be seen by others based on other's needs and values.

An example — Do others see you as a powerful and influential leader and you don't feel it? Do you sometimes feel like an imposter and wonder if you have the qualifications for the upcoming promotion?

As you align your drivers (needs), natural motivators (values), and innate gifts (strengths) TOWARD your goal, you'll strengthen your personal power — a key to successfully building and leveraging a powerful network of relationships for greater success!

NEEDS — How do these relate to your success? A NEED is deeply personal and emotional, something that you MUST have to maintain peak performance.

If your needs are not satisfied — most people feel like that Saturday morning facing a full day of chores — drained, tired, lacking energy and motivation!

If they're met — watch out! You're off to a fun day at the beach, enjoy lunch with a friend, or challenge your friends to a golf game!

VALUES — Do you know what matters MOST to you? Did you ever feel compelled to follow through on something that you REALLY cared about in spite of other's judgments and it didn't matter what anyone else thought?

Here's an example of value differences that could be you and your best friend:

  • You plan to continue creating and growing your career well into your 70's and beyond!
  • Your best friend can't wait for retirement at the young age of 59 so that he can enjoy all the leisure activities that he's been dreaming about!

Your Values: accomplishment; contribution; legacy
Your Best Friend's Values: freedom; comfort; fun

What do you think is the most frequent reason that people resign from companies? You guessed it, value conflicts!

How about relationship difficulties? You guessed it again, value conflicts!

Can you see how important it is to identify YOUR values and consider how values play into alignment of your personal and professional growth and success?

STRENGTHS — Do you find yourself underplaying your strengths?

You may not be able to see your strengths because they come SO easily to you — you might say, "How can something so easy be so valuable?"

That's the amazing thing about your strengths:

  • You are more motivated and productive when you develop your natural talents into strengths.
  • You progress more rapidly and experience greater success
  • ...and it's EASY!

Client Success:

"As a result of coaching, I have kept a focus on my long-range goals while achieving balance in my daily activities. Now my daily "to-do-list", both at work and at home, takes on a larger meaning. I contribute my success to learning to "play to my strengths", rather than trying to fix my weaknesses."

Bill Toffey, Biosolids Utilization Manager

STEP #4: CONSTRUCT AN ECONOMICALLY PRODUCTIVE LIFESTYLE... Move from Stressed and Disorganized... to Focused & Profitable

Well, you've boosted your life vitality, consistently align with your values, and lead with your strengths — what's next?

Let's start with some of my client's questions...

How do I juggle the complex responsibilities in both my personal and professional life that sometimes feels like ONE STRUGGLE AFTER ANOTHER?

Does this sound familiar? "I feel that if I don't put in the extra time at work, I may be passed up for promotion. If I put in the time, I could be downsized anyway. Either way, I am sacrificing the valuable family time that is the core of my life and what truly brings me fulfillment and joy.

I need to get to completion on projects, but there ALWAYS seems to be just one more thing to do!"

Isn't there a way to be productive, successful, AND have a balanced and quality life?

Have you found yourself saying, "I feel like I'm just treading water with my new management role, complex business issues, and new family responsibilities. With the high level of success that I've experienced, you'd think that I would feel happier or more fulfilled".

  • Clear the Way to Make More Money
  • Have More Time
  • Improve Your Relationships

Millionaire researcher, Thomas J. Stanley, PhD defines the solution as an "ECONOMICALLY PRODUCTIVE LIFESTYLE".

What are the 3 simple strategies to create this lifestyle?

Success Strategy #1: TAKE TIME to PLAN and ORGANIZE! But you say, "I don't have time!!"

  • How often do you say to yourself, "If I JUST had 2 more hours/day, I'd be able to get ahead of the game?"
  • Do you feel guilty when you TAKE TIME to SAVE TIME by planning and organizing?

DID YOU KNOW... if you TAKE TIME of 1 hour, you actually SAVE TIME of 9 hours?

  • Honor your need for quiet, planning and organization time.
  • Design your Strategic Effectiveness Plan.
  • Identify the most direct path to your goals.
  • Develop effective and streamlined processes for maximum results.
  • Begin to see the vision of that extraordinary life that you desire!

Coaching Workshops — Organization — From the INSIDE — OUT!

Client Success:

"It is wonderfully reinforcing to have a personal cheerleader to assist you to accomplishment. During this period, I find that I have taken strides toward goals I would normally have procrastinated about and not achieved. I felt that I had to strive to do and DID achieve. I worked more effectively and focused in a different way on projects and goals. I recommend coaching to others, and I particularly recommend Ms. Dresser to assist you to realize that which you would hope to accomplish."

STEP #5: STRENGTHEN YOUR PERSONAL POWER AND BOOST YOUR LEADERSHIP POTENTIAL!

Now that your life vitality is OFF THE CHARTS — let's strengthen your Personal Power — Direct Success On Your Own Terms

Here are a few common client scenarios:

  • I feel vague and indirect about clearly stating my NEEDS and BOUNDARIES with my staff in a professional manner — how can I do this and be perceived as a confident, powerful leader?
  • What can I do to keep focused on my agenda and not allow other's agendas to distract me from my goals?
  • What's the best way to get recognized as an EXPERT in my field and strengthen my professional reputation as a LEADER, both internally and externally?
  • How can I break-through my beliefs about risk vs. challenges? I know that I'm capable of far more than I have achieved, and need a push to embrace challenges as a learning adventure.
  • Am I underestimating my leadership qualifications and not playing FULL OUT for my next promotion opportunity? My client stated,

"I am up for a financially and professionally rewarding promotion, but I'm not sure that I can handle the added responsibility. I am already working extra hours as "acting manager", and feel tremendous conflict about the limited quality time with my family."
