3/6/2019 0 Comments Standing in the LIght How coaching supports authenticity and organic networking success ![]() Being yourself is essential on the path to achieving success. If you don’t know who you are, how could you know what you really want? More over if you don’t know what you really want, how would you discern with any precision the right opportunities to pursue? Or know which People you should align with? These questions must all be answered. Helping my clients first answer these questions, and then take huge strides towards their dreams is what a Success Coach, like me, lives for. “To Thine own self be true…” is one of the most sage pieces of advice still in circulation, it underscores the importance of knowing yourself. In the pursuit of our dreams it’s easy to get caught up in impressing or imitating others. However, true Happiness can only come from pursuing your dreams. Success Coaching supports and encourages authenticity, because with out it the process doesn’t work. A skilled Success Coach will help you drill down on your “BIG WHY”, this is the reason behind the action you want to take, that will lead you to achieving the Success you desire. Your “Big Why” should be grounded in reasoning that is not only logical but individual; hence the importance of knowing what you want. Your Coach should be able to help you see how what you want for yourself may differ from what others want for you or even what society tells you should want. As a result, you will feel empowered to begin strategizing so that you can start to take action that will move you towards achieving your goals. Your coach will also remind you that “no man is an island” and “people need people.” Therefore, its also critically important that you remember to network! However, this is an area where many freeze up. Some even skip networking all together. Skipping these opportunities could cost you invaluable resources and delay your growth. Networking is an area my Coaching Clients and I always cover, especially if it is particularly challenging for them. The Success Coaching method is already focused on empowering the individual to identify their vision and stand behind it, thus the process organically lends its self to helping clients develop more ease & confidence when discussing their goals with others. Spending time with your Coach bi-weekly working through the fine points of your plan, discussing execution wins & misses, and honing your personal prose around what you hope to accomplish makes a huge difference. The work translates beautifully to improved communication in networking and social situations, where clients can simply be themselves and talk about what their up to with out feeling like they are selling themselves. There is nothing I love more as a Success Coach, than seeing my clients blossom with confidence and exhibit ease and certainty when they are asked about their goals. For many gaining the ability to speak confidently about themselves in front of others is an absolute game changer. The best part is that they are able to do so from a place of complete authenticity because their actions are grounded in their “BIG WHY.” Need Help figuring out your “BIG WHY”?
