What Exactly Is One-on-One Coaching All About And Can It Help You?

Why Hire A Coach?

We all could use a great coach to get even better at what we are currently doing. And, it really doesn’t matter what we’ve accomplished in the past, how much we’ve accomplished in the past, or how “lucky” our family and friends tell us we are for what we’ve been able to do.

You’ve probably already realized that there is always a higher level to what you can achieve and coaching can help you do just that. Coaching and checking in on a consistent basis reminds of us who we really are, forces us to think about what we really want, and holds us accountable to our goals. The top business professionals, accomplished athletes, and other top producers in life routinely hire coaches to keep producing at the highest levels. Hiring a coach is something these high achievers take great pride in and even often boast about because it’s one more way they’ve stepped up and done “whatever it takes” to become their very best. These days, it’s “cool” to be able to tell people that you’ve hired a coach.

Hiring a coach will empower you with the skills that you need to build upon your current level of success and achieve your highest goals. A coach will get you to that “next level” that isn’t always an easy place to get to all by yourself. As you and your coach Skip La Cour work together to achieve your definition of success through consistent, measured action, you will gain invaluable insight into how to generate higher levels of achievement and fulfillment in the future.

How often do you get the opportunity to have a conversation where the total focus is about you, your goals, and the challenges that you face? Even if you were lucky enough to have one of those conversations every once in awhile, is the person you are talking to really qualified enough to help you and leave their own personal values and biases out of it? This rarely happens unless you invested in an experienced coach.

Sometimes it doesn’t matter how committed you are to achieve your goals or how hard you work. If you don’t have the right perspective, most of your energy and effort will be spread out in too many of the wrong places. A great coach will help you gain the perspective and insight that you need to channel all of your precious energy and effort in the right direction. You’ll save yourself a lot of time, frustration, and overwhelm that often occurs when people choose to go through their personal journeys alone.

Skip La Cour will help you get a clear vision of what you really want in your life—and go after it with more certainty, conviction, and confidence. He’ll challenge you, keep you focused, and make you accountable. You’ll discover what’s stopping you and learn effective strategies to overcome these debilitating obstacles.

Skip helps you get the RESULTS in life that you haven’t been able to get on your own. The stories of his clients’ success go far beyond what they originally wanted when seeking his services. Many of his clients have gone on to apply the skills of self-discipline and self-control to create extraordinary success in many other areas of their lives. You will also receive mp3 sound files of every coaching session that you have with Skip and you’ll continue to learn from them for months and even years in the future.

Clarity. When you have a clear vision of exactly what you want in life and all of the emotional reasons why it is so important to you, you’ll have the best chance to succeed in the most effective, efficient manner and in the shortest period of time. Skip La Cour will get you clear on all the goals you want to achieve in your life and all the emotions you want to experience.

Focus. No matter how well we are already doing in life, the “next level” will take a new way of thinking and actions that we’re not used to doing. Because of our already busy schedules, it’s easy to lose focus on all of the ambitious goals we’ve set and keep thinking and doing the way we have for a long time. Through your regularly scheduled coaching sessions with Skip, there is absolutely no way possible that you’ll lose sight of what you really want.

Accountability. People are oftentimes more willing to do whatever it takes so they don’t let other people down than they would to not to let themselves down. Coaching on a regular basis can help you use this powerful human tendency to your advantage. How many times in the past have you set ambitious goals or committed to a new set of empowering behaviors only to eventually go back to your old way of thinking and doing? If you have done this in the past, you’re certainly not alone. When you commit to your clearly-defined goals with your coach Skip La Cour, you get an extra layer of accountability because he holds you to executing your plans on a continual basis.

Perspective. Sometimes when we are working hard toward our goals in life, it’s difficult to figure out if we are pushing ourselves too hard or not hard enough. It’s tough to really know if we need to change what we are doing because it simply isn’t working–or if we just need to keep on doing what we are doing for a longer period of time. This is especially true when you want to go to a place that you’ve never been or feel a set of emotions that you’ve never felt before. Coaching with Skip La Cour and continually examining your current situation will give you the perspective you need to succeed. He’ll help you get a level of perspective that you simply can’t get all by yourself. You’ll move toward your goals more freely and unencumbered by all of the second-guessing and “internal chatter” that comes from not having the right perspective.

Execution. The best attitude and the willingness to work hard won’t matter if you don’t create an effective plan-of-attack and follow through with that plan you’ve decided upon. You have to take consistent action. Skip La Cour will help you create a set of effective RESULTS-DRIVEN “daily disciplines” that will jumpstart your progress and catapult you in the right direction. He’ll apply the right amount of pressure on you to fulfill the promises that you made to yourself. Your regular coaching sessions will keep you focused and put the pressure on you to do whatever it takes to succeed during those times when you’re highly motivated and especially when you’re not.

Momentum. You become what you think about and do most in life. When you live in a powerful and more enthusiastic mindset long enough, that eventually just becomes your normal way of thinking. You’ve actually proven to yourself by your actions that’s the only way you should look at yourself. When you step up and do what you set out to do on a continual basis, you build unstoppable momentum. When all of this starts happening, the things that you once found difficult to get yourself do all of a sudden become much easier. Skip La Cour and the regular coaching you’ll get from him will help you build that powerful momentum.

Results. You want to do everything you can to make your journey toward getting what you want a better, more enjoyable experience along the way. The main purpose of coaching, however, is to help you produce the results in your life that you may have never been able to do on your own. That’s always the bottom line and your coach Skip La Cour will never let you forget that.

Those are the reasons why it is an incredibly wise decision to hire Skip La Cour as your coach today. Email Skip La Cour at skip@skiplacour.com.
