Business Coach In Bangalore | Corporate coach

Starting your own business can be exciting and daunting. It means coming face to face with hidden beliefs and behaviours that may be coming in the way of success. Coaching helps you craft a vision, take responsibility, prioritize strategic thinking, and complement the best-laid plans with systematic action. Entrepreneurship involves a significant mind-set change but the right positive self-talk is the first start point.

One of the most asked questions is ‘Will coaching help me? Will it help my business?’

Yes. It most certainly will and here’s how:

Coaching can increase self-awareness. What are you passionate about? What are your strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats?
It can help improve your satisfaction levels by making you see your own stories and rewrite them
It can enhance growth opportunities – once you get an idea of your weaknesses, you can work on them and see never-before growth opportunities
It can enable you to get along better with people by opening your mind to multiple points of view

All good things to look forward aren’t they?

According to coaches.com, good coaches:

Create a safe environment in which people see themselves more clearly
Identify gaps between where the market is and where you need to be
Ask for more intentional thought, action and behaviour changes than the business owner would have asked of him or herself
Guide the building of the structure, accountability, and support necessary to ensure sustained commitment

A lot of organizations/start-ups engage with coaches to help their founders and frontline managers with the above benefits. Coaching is increasingly being used to fine-tune the talents of people who’ve been identified as rising leaders.

The benefits of business coaching are described below:

1. Go on a journey of self-discovery.

A lot of our problems get sorted when we realize the genesis of the problem – which is really the story we have inside our heads about the problem. Sometimes you may be your own worst enemy and not know it. Coaching can help uncover this.

3. Development plan.

It’s not enough to have a goal. One needs a realistic plan and a means of achieving it and measuring progress. Coaches can help with this.

5. Change your story about yourself.

On the most fundamental level, coaching helps you replace the disabling stories inside you with enabling stories so that you can set the ground for long term change.

Ultimately, a coach enables you to take accountability for your business goals.

2. Create Vision and Set business goals.

Once you understand what story is enabling / disabling you, you create the space to form goals in alignment with your values. All progress begins with vision and goals.

4. Develop the mindset of a problem solver.

Corporate Coaching helps rewrite old thought patterns and help us embrace a ‘Why not’ attitude instead of a ‘Yes, but…’ attitude.

What is business coaching?

A business coach is a qualified professional that works with individuals usually entrepreneurs to help them get more clarity on what their business goals have to be.

Most new entrepreneurs have business and management skills, but sometimes need help with identifying what the business objectives have to be for year 1 of operation, year 2 and in the long term. Along with goal setting, they need help with achieving their developmental objectives, being a better leader in their organization, drive team performance, leading by example and being productive. A business coach with life coaching and executive coaching expertise can help a coachee unlock their potential.

How is it different from life coaching, executive coaching and business coaching?

Business coaching is slightly different from the above two types of coaching, because the objectives of the engagement are different.

Life coaching is aimed at helping people meet goals in their personal or business lives by guiding them in the right direction — much like a sports coach might do for a sportsperson — although the methods used by individual life coaches will vary greatly.

Most of us turn to a friend who we consider to be ‘wise’ when it comes to certain circumstances such as making key decisions or overcoming problems. But our friends may not always have the answers or may not be sufficiently objective about a situation to give decent advice. This is where life coaching has role to play, by helping people see their life from a different perspective and giving them the confidence to move forward.

The process of enrolling with an executive coach and being involved in a coaching engagement to gain self-awareness, clarifying goals, achieving developmental objectives etc with respect to professional life is called executive coaching. Executive coaches can help achieve working professionals achieve their potential and progress in their careers. It has been observed that working professionals who have enlisted the services of an executive coach have experienced higher growth in their careers, greater satisfaction in their work and life and are more focused and productive.

How is business coaching different from enrolling with a mentor?

A business coach is a qualified professional that works with individuals usually entrepreneurs to help them get more clarity on what their business goals have to be.

A business coach with life coaching and executive coaching expertise can help a coachee unlock their potential.

A mentor on the other hand is a person who has run a successful business and is capable of guiding the mentee on business related matters. A mentor needs to be from the same business field and needs to have knowledge about the mentee’s industry.

But a business coach need not have expertise in the coachee’s industry. Business coaches rely on their coaching expertise.
