Why One-on-One Coaching?
Coaching is a one-on-one, collaborative relationship between a coach and an individual who has an interest in developing their leadership skills to increase their effectiveness. Leadership coaching and development requires a significant investment in time and money. It must have a measurable positive outcome in order to justify the effort.
Leadership coaching is like sports coaching. Imagine an athlete that rarely wins. What keeps that athlete from winning? Is it lack of training? Is it lack of physical workouts? Are there nutrition issues? How does an athlete identify the gaps? They use a coach, someone who can, observe them in action, identify the gaps, and create a plan to improve their performance. Sometimes, the athlete is not capable of achieving their desired objectives. Perhaps a new objective is needed.
Terry’s coaching philosophy parallels the sports analogy. He uses a data-driven approach to coaching to achieve predictable outcomes.
