What is a professional coach?
The ROI from professional coaching is astonishing. According to a Manchester Consulting Group study of Fortune 100 executives, the Economic Times reports "coaching resulted in a ROI of almost six times the program cost as well as a 77% improvement in relationships, 67% improvement in teamwork, 61% improvement in job satisfaction and 48% improvement in quality." Additionally, a study of Fortune 500 telecommunications companies by MatrixGlobal found executive coaching resulted in a 529% ROI. The CIPD concludes "coaching is not just perceived as a nice-to-have intervention."
A good coach is someone who is an expert at helping others create positive change in their lives. For some clients, the positive change they most want may be focused on personal goals such as relationships, time management, work-life balance, stress reduction, simplification, health, etc., but other clients may be more interested in professional or business goals such as leadership, getting a promotion, starting a business, etc. An effective coach works with the client to help them live a better, richer life - regardless of their type of goals. Good coaching focuses on an individual's strengths and aims to help the client achieve what they want more of in life and at work. The goal? To help the client identify and achieve their greater goals and to help them live a better life. A good coach isn't there to "fix" anyone, but to help the client navigate toward a more engaged and compelling future.

What Is Most Important in a Coaching Relationship?
The key to an effective relationship between your Business Coach and you is commitment by both parties. Both must be willing to devote their time to establishing trust and nurturing a good rapport.Other essential traits which enhance the relationship are:
1. Respect - established through the recognition of the coach's knowledge, skills and abilities and your desire to develop your capabilities and experiences.
2. Trust - built through communication, availability, predictability and loyalty between the coach and you.
3. Partnership building - established through the recognition that the coach and you are professional partners.Natural barriers that the partnership can face include miscommunication or an uncertainty of each other's expectations. Measures which can be used to overcome these challenges are:
• Maintaining an open line of communication
• Resolving obvious problems
• Forecasting how decisions may affect business goals
• Monitoring action plans
4. Realistic expectations - established as the coach encourages you to set and meet realistic, attainable business goals.
5. Time - recognized as perhaps the most crucial of all elements in a coach/small business owner relationship. You both set aside a specific time to meet, initially as often as once or twice weekly; as the relationship develops less time may be needed.
