Is Coaching Right for You?

May 17, 2024 7:31 am

Hello ,


Just last Monday, I had a call scheduled with a potential client who was eager to learn more about my coaching services. We exchanged several messages over social media, finally deciding on a mutually convenient date and time for our chat.


When the day arrived, I was fully prepared, looking forward to an inspiring conversation with someone I could potentially guide towards their goals. But when the clock struck 6 pm, I found myself waiting. I tried to stay calm, thinking,


"Surely, they're just running a bit late." After all, we all have our busy days, right?


A friendly reminder was sent out (on top of the reminders sent by my booking software 24 hours and one hour prior), just to check they hadn't forgotten about our meeting. No response. Twenty more minutes ticked by, and I found myself still waiting, alone.


Finally, I decided enough was enough. I ended the call. Even if they showed up after that, it wouldn't have mattered anymore. The next day, I sent an email and a message, asking if there was a reason for their absence. Once again, I was met with silence. This person, who had been so communicative initially, had suddenly disappeared.


This experience got me thinking. If they were truly interested in my coaching services, wouldn't they have at least sent a message to reschedule or inform me that they couldn't make it? It made me question: would they even be right for coaching?

You see, how we do one thing is how we do everything. If our relationship can't start on a foundation of good communication and honesty, what chance do we have of achieving the best results together?


I hold myself to the highest standards, both in coaching my clients and in my daily life. I value punctuality and honesty, and I expect the same from others. If you cannot respect our scheduled appointments or communicate effectively, what standards are you setting for your own health?


This brings me to a crucial point: how we do one thing is how we do everything. If you're consistently late for appointments, it indicates a lack of value towards those commitments. And if that's the case, what other areas of your life are you undervaluing? Your health? Relationships? Work?


It's easy to blame external factors for our tardiness, but the truth is, if we value something enough, we make it a priority.


So, take some time to reflect on your values. They play a significant role in achieving the results you desire.


As your coach, my role is to reinforce these values and challenge you to set even higher standards for yourself, unlocking your full potential.


If you're ready to commit to this journey of transformation,


I invite you to sign up for my one-to-one coaching.


Let's work together to create a future where you're not just surviving, but thriving.


Until next time,


Neil
