What did Celine Dion, Dominic Hasek, Wayne Gretzky and many of the top performers in the business and professional world, have in common? They all utilized the expertise, skills and encouragement of a professional coach. Each of the celebrities mentioned above are or were paid several millions of dollars each year for their skills. They didn’t stop using a coach as soon as they turned professional or achieved a certain level of recognition for their special talents and abilities. Much of the reason they achieved as much as they did was because they were coached throughout their careers.

What is coaching and why should you consider working with a coach? Many people confuse coaching with mentoring. A mentor is someone who knows more than you do in your chosen field or profession. A mentor can help you fill in the blanks in your knowledge of your field. A coach is a strange combination of a catalyst and a balancer. A coach is trained to help you find the perfect direction for your life, career or business. They can guide you through the fog that sometimes settles around you, keeping you from knowing what direction to take. Other times they know what questions to ask to help you discover what you were meant to do and what actions or steps will bring you closer to achieving your real goals. Coaches serve as great sounding boards for you to bounce ideas off before you do take action. People who use coaches say that it is invaluable to share an idea with someone who can be objective and will give you honest feedback, something that may not always be possible with another staff member, partner or spouse.

A professional likened having a coach to a term used in golf, "It all comes down to follow through." He said he had a pretty good idea of what he needed to do but knowing didn’t always result in doing. Quite often the follow through was missing. That is where having a coach made the difference. My coach provided the guidance and was willing to "hold me accountable to my goals and keeping me on track. I soon considered my coach as one of my most valuable business assets!"

Should you consider acquiring a coach? Ask yourself some simple questions. Is my career where I want it to be? Am I doing what I was meant to do? Am I happy with my life or is there room for improvement? If the ultra-talented think it is a wise investment for their careers, don’t you think it could make a difference in yours?
