habits. A great coach makes this education practical and applicable right away.
• Conductor – Coaches serve as a resource to coordinate and orchestrate the flow of information and best practices, making recommendations on what content should be reviewed and applied.
• Confidante – A coach is a sounding board for the CEO to bounce ideas off of, someone who asks the right questions to bring out the CEO’ s best ideas.
Here is one example of how I fulfill these four roles as it relates to hiring:
An alarming 70 percent of the American workforce is disengaged. A highperformance culture is only possible with the right team in place. As a Co-architect, I perform a workplace analysis: re-viewing the current hiring process, determining key weaknesses, and creating a plan for improvement.
As a Teacher, I provide education and experience about the right tools and frame-works that make the hiring process run smoothly. As a Conductor, I orchestrate information about the best practices in human resources based on experiences from my own clients and from extensive research and learning. Finally, as a Confidante, I serve as a trusted advisor to CEOs, discussing sensitive and personal issues they may not want to share with anyone else.
CHOOSING A BUSINESS COACH When choosing a coach, look for these criteria:
• Content – Does the coach have the right tools, materials, and methodology for your company?
• Credibility – Does the coach have the appropriate experience? Has the coach done this with other clients or with others in your industry or market? Are you willing to trust the coach’ s guidance?
• Cash – Can you see a clear return on investment( ROI)? I work with my clients to achieve a three-tofive times increase in ROI after one year and a tenfold increase after two years.
• Chemistry – Your coach will be very involved in a number of important internal and external relationships with your company. Would you enjoy working with this person over the long term?
• Commitment – Are you, the business owner or CEO, willing to make a long-term commitment to achieve the full results that business coaching offers?
