Why every charity leader needs a coach

There are many reasons why working with a coach will be the best decision you can make.  From enhanced accountability to greater self-awareness to setting more realistic goals, coaches create a non-judgemental environment in which to explore and interrogate the reality of your current situation, and create a vision of your desired future.  A good coach doesn’t bullshit you, but holds up a mirror and challenges you to be the bravest leader you can be. 

• Accountability:  a coach will help you stay accountable for your actions and progress, enabling you to focus on what you need to focus on.  This can help you avoid procrastination and make you more motivated to achieve your goals. 

• Goal setting: a coach can help you set clear, realistic goals, create a plan to achieve them and keep you on track.

• Confidence: working with a coach can help you build your confidence and feel more positive about yourself.  This isn’t just a case of ‘thinking positively’, but a realistic appraisal based on who you are and what you value.

• Stress reduction:  having a clear plan and view of yourself, can help you maintain a healthy mindset.  Knowing where you are and where you’re going will reduce your stress.

• Personal awareness: identifying your blind spots and improving your self-awareness, helps with clearer problem-solving and taking focussed action on what’s important. 

• Direction: a coach can help you identify your ‘North Star’, the reason you do what you do, and improve your focus on what’s important. 

• Potential: a coach can help you reach your potential and achieve what you’re capable of. 

• Time: a coach can help you work more efficiently, to stop doing the things which aren’t helping, thus saving time and accelerating your success.
