Even short sessions have helped clients change behaviors, push through difficult circumstances, or face tough issues. If you’ve never worked with a coach, you might be surprised to discover how much progress you can make in only 30 or 60 minutes. In other words, we provide a unique environment that dramatically increases the odds of having those career-catapulting aha moments. We simply illuminate the path on their journey, allowing them to see things about themselves more clearly-who they really are, how they can reach their potential, how they might be inadvertently undermining their own success (and how to avoid that), and how to maximize their strengths to be a better leader. While that’s probably what some people imagine it’s like to work with a coach, the truth is we are more like guides. Not to explain how things work or tell them how to fix their problems. Helping clients have more of those aha moments is actually my goal as a leadership coach. And for a business? Aha moments are often the raw material used to manufacture game-changing competitive advantages. On a personal level, those incredible flashes of clarity are the fuel for innovative ideas and breakthrough performance. They are the mental equivalent of putting on glasses that suddenly give you a crisp, clear view of the world after struggling with fuzzy eyesight. We’ve all experienced “aha moments”-those sudden glimpses of insight or comprehension that change everything in an instant.
