Successful people don’t let roadblocks stop them from reaching their goals. And they aren’t afraid to ask for help.

Sometimes the challenges in our lives are clear, but often they are not. That’s where coaching comes in.

What is coaching?

It’s a partnership on your journey to self-improvement. The coach is your personal advocate who helps you to better understand your strengths, without judgement, and guide you to address your weaknesses and strategize formulas for making better, more conscious decisions.

A coach looks out for your interests, helping you see fresh perspectives, push you to achieve more, and then hold you accountable. Think of coaching as an investment in yourself that can create paths to greater success.

Who needs a coach?

Coaching doesn’t apply to just one industry or skill set. Any person or organization that wants to achieve a higher level of performance can benefit from the services of a professional coach. Mark Fechner has helped business executives, entrepreneurs, financial traders, and creative professionals.

Performance

Master your mental blocks

Do you want to perform at your peak level in high pressure situations? Performance coaching helps you get past burnout, anxiety, distractions, and other obstacles. You’ll develop a positive mindset and habits that will help you to become consistently better at what you love to do.

Find the leader within

Managing a company, a team, or even yourself can be challenging on many fronts. Successful leaders are confident. They have vision and expertise. They also are strong communicators who can prioritize, delegate, make decisions, maintain focus, and inspire others. A leadership coach can help cultivate these areas.

Choosing a Coach is Personal

Choosing a coach is personal; you need to find the right fit for your needs. Start with searching for a coach who is certified by a governing body such as the International Coach Federation (ICF). Why? Anyone can say they are a coach or take a 2-day course to receive training. ICF credentials mean that the coach:

has completed at least 60 hours of training from an ICF approved school.
has been coached by a certified mentor coach.
adheres to a code of ethics and standards of practice.
has a certain number of paid coaching hours.
agrees to continue his/her personal development by acquiring continuing education hours.

Look for someone you can get along with and who is interested in your success. Finally, trust your instincts. If your gut says you’ve found someone who can bring out your best, you’re probably right.
