Nearly every parent with a child involved in sports has noticed this phenomenon – no matter how many times you have shown them something, they don’t really buy into it until the coach tells them to do it.  It has nothing to do with the value of the information; sometimes it’s just a different voice, or approach.  Continuing education for employees has much the same effect, especially if there is follow up in the form of business coaching.

An especially valuable asset to an employee is having a coach they can come to with issues they would be hesitant to bring up to the management of their company.  It could be something as small as needing help in a particular skill or wanting oversight on their weekly routine.  This is common with production or sales staff – they don’t want to ask for help from their manager, for fear of being perceived as weak in that area.  A confidential relationship with a business coach can provide them with the insight and training to improve while maintaining their confidence, as well as the confidence of their employer or manager.

A coach can also provide reassurance for a business owner when they are doing things of value for their business.  Despite having the right objectives for their organization, management sometimes lacks the confidence to carry these through.  A coach can help an owner see what the opportunities are and provide a clear plan, allowing the owner to step back and see things with a more productive outlook. 

Identifying products, markets, and procedures are important aspects of growing a business; sometimes an outside, objective point of view is exactly what is needed.  Small and medium-sized business owners are often so caught up in working in their organization they have little time to work on the company as a whole.
