Why Telephone Coaching Works

Why Telephone Coaching Works

I’ve been coaching successfully by phone and Skype for a while now and clients have found it a very positive experience. It always amazes me just how powerful and effective coaching by phone can be.  But lots of people seem to have reservations about trying coaching by phone. 

What phone coaching can do for you!

First of all phone coaching delivers all the benefits that coaching by other methods delivers. 
That is an opportunity to gain; 
•Fresh perspectives on personal challenges and opportunities, 
•Improved thinking and decision making skills, 
•Better interpersonal skills and communication
•Increased confidence at work and in your personal life.

There are some special advantages specific to phone coaching.

These include: 
  • Concentration – it if often much easier to concentrate on the issues you want to consider
  • Convenient and Relaxing –  as a client you can be in your own familiar surroundings. I find it is much easier for me to meet a client’s need in terms of time if I don’t have to travel to a venue. I can coach pretty much any time of the day or night which suits my clients.  
  • Clients find it easier to be open – there can be a nice blend anonymity and intimacy when talking on the telephone and that helps people to be more open
  • Time Efficient – there’s no time (or money) spent travelling and coaching can be fitted more easily into a busy schedule
  • International Coaching – it really doesn’t matter where you are in the world, so long as you have a

    good phone connection and can speak English.

I’m based in the UK but have coached clients from a number of other countries including the US.  But you don’t have to be far away – it is convenient wherever you live. I have both US and UK telephone numbers and of course you can find me on Skype.

I provide a first, free, no obligation coaching consultation.

Refresh Your Job Search In 2013

Positive-Attitude-During-a-Job-Search-300x260Refresh Your Job Search In 2013

Have you been searching for a new job for a while now?  Hard isn’t it to keep up that energy?  But there will be new and exciting opportunities in 2013, if you can re-energize your quest. Here are some tips to help you refresh your job search.

Update your image and your attitude.

What would really give your confidence a boost?  How about a new hairstyle or should you considering a new style of dress?  What kind of change could you make as an out ward sign that something is different in 2013? You could make a change to represent the new you and your new approach.

Work hard on your commitment to positive thinking and your self-belief.  If you catch yourself thinking negatively, stop in your tracks, catch that thought and flip it over in mind. Think of yourself as not so much looking for a job as looking for an opportunity to add value. You know that given the right opportunity, that is exactly what you will do. Think every day about the benefits that you will bring to your new employer.

Revamp Your CV/Résumé

An important step in every job search is to equip yourself with a CV that really sells you, your skills and your abilities. How good is your CV?  Take time now to check it and remember this CV is just a baseline that you will tailor for each new role.  Here is some guidance on preparing a CV to be proud of; http://wisewolftalking.com/2012/07/26/job-search-part-4-writing-that-winning-cv/

Consider new options

Maybe now is a time to think about quite radical new options.  Changing careers isn’t easy. But nor is it as hard as you might imagine. I’ve done it four times in my life successfully. I’ve enjoyed the different careers at the time and I really was successful in each one. For me, there came a time to consider new options. Changing in this way has allowed me to come to terms with a changing economic environment and each new direction has built upon the experience and knowledge gained in the last one. Here are some thoughts for you to consider on the process. http://wisewolftalking.com/2012/10/17/changing-careers-part-3-deciding-whether-to-make-the-change-a-checklist/

Find New Ways to Network

Social media in particular gives all kinds of new ways to find new people to network with.  Are you making the most of sites like LinkedIn?  Are you approaching social networking in a professional way – here is some advice http://wisewolftalking.com/2012/01/06/using-social-networking-to-help-your-career/   If you just want to brush up your general networking skills – here is some more general networking advice http://wisewolftalking.com/2012/11/15/job-search-networking-asking-friends-for-help/

Find yourself a coach

A Career Coach will work with you on all the practical aspects of applying for jobs.  The coach will help you to look at your achievements and results so far and how you can build on them to make your next career move work out well. A good coach will help you build your confidence and maximize your chances of landing the right role. (I am happy to offer a free one hour coaching session by phone or Skype to readers of this blog.)

Even though looking for a new job is a big challenge now, with a positive attitude and the right tools and support, I know that you can be successful in 2013.
