In today's competitive business world, having a personal performance coach can be a valuable asset to both employees and employers.
A coach is a professional (often with a wealth of business and leadership experience) who provides guidance and support to individuals seeking to improve their work performance, achieve their career goals, and enhance their overall job satisfaction.
One of the primary benefits of having a coach is that they can help employees identify their talents and help turn these into strengths that can be applied appropriately in different situations.
A coach can help clients identify their long-term career aspirations, and then provide guidance on the steps they need to take to achieve them. This can include identifying training opportunities, networking strategies, and other key activities that will help career advancement.
Employer Benefits of Hiring a Coach
Engaging a coach is invaluable for employers, as it can help them retain top talent and improve overall employee satisfaction. By investing in the professional development of their employees, employers can create a culture of continuous learning and improvement, which can lead to higher levels of engagement, productivity, and job satisfaction.
Summary
In conclusion, employing a performance coach to work with team members can provide numerous benefits for both employees and employers.
From my own personal experience as a coach the most common, positive feedback I receive is that clients feel they finally have a voice, are being listened to and have a much more clear understanding of their strengths.
They also tell me that learning about the strengths of their team mates helps them to collaborate better and achieve goals more efficiently and effectively.

One of the most interesting views I have on coaching is the managers that strongly feel they don't need any coaching can be the ideal candidates, taken a while within my teams to recognise that coaching is not an underperforming tool but enhancing high performers that can only assist with retention and development :)
