Coaching - A Must

Coaching has been proven to be an effective tool whether on a personal or professional development that produces greater and more sustainable benefits.In today's complex and competitive world , leaders and managers continue to build and develop strategies and behaviors to ensure that success always remain an option. 

To be able to coach is meant that you are ready to help individuals, teams and organisations to realize and fulfill their potential and reach their desired goals. Engulfed in professional coaching brings valuable benefits such as fresh perspectives , enhanced decision making skills, greater interpersonal effectiveness and why not an increase in confidence . Obviously the results are varied and many but yet be appreciated mostly through improvement in productivity , satisfaction and the attainment of relevant and fruitful goals. 

In this complex and fragmented world we need to close or bridge the gaps. As a manager or leader , we are expected to be able to coach to a professional standard as coaching is seen as an important and up to date tool for a business and career success. The days of telling or ordering people to do something are no more relevant and the days of seeing training as a tool has been diminished as people have become better informed with use of social media, website and so on. 

Whether one is competing for talent or operating in turbulent markets and conditions , retaining your best staffs or clients, or team building , success will depend on the ability to coach. I can wholeheartedly vouch that for personal growth , development , learning and satisfaction , we all can benefit.
Coaching and developing greater emotional intelligence and awareness enables and empowers  individuals to have the opportunity to manage , channel and why not master the emotional energy towards the desired outcome. Someone having a low emotional awareness would obviously find most of their energy taken up in trying to fight in or suppress the emotions which at times we call it “immaturity”. Power of emotions can inspire high performance . High performing teams do not have the emotions of others as a barrier to success and the use these emotions as a driver for achieving greater things.

A team that lacks emotional awareness will naturally fail to predict the emotional response of others and will definitely caught up in being judgmental of how people should so or feel. Furthermore the impact of high emotional awareness on the success of an organization can be significant in terms of the culture and ethos of that organization and its ability to encourage innovation , creativity and ambition. The more the passion and ambition are in line , the more the emotional intelligence will raise up to the level of expectation and rendering the desired outcome . Organization with low emotional awareness are more likely to suffer from avoidable conflict , silos and attrition.

As a coach emotional awareness is one of the three fundamental areas of development along with accurate assessment and confidence. With a high level of emotional awareness  anyone can develop the ability to manage their emotion so that their intelligence can take the lead. With a lower level of emotional awareness ,the same power will only lead their thoughts and actions towards emotional outcomes , with the power of their intelligence rationalizing why they are entitled to feel how they feel. As a human being there is nothing more important and empowering of having a great sense of emotional awareness.
