We all make mistakes, even leaders and coaches, but it's essential to stay present and do your best in order to have a successful coaching session. As a professional coach, it's important to be aware of the common mistakes that can be made during creation, sales, or training sessions. Myke, a renowned life coach in the Philippines, shares five of the most common mistakes that coaches should avoid in order to become the great coach they are meant to be. The first misstep is treating coaching as a hobby.
Coaching is a profession and should be taken seriously. This means having a clear outline for your training program and not letting any distractions, whether internal or external, get the best of you. The second mistake is not playing the bad guy when necessary. As a coach, you may have to make a player push their limits or discipline them for crossing the line.
This is an important part of being an effective leader and trainer. The third mistake is not having a clear outline for your training program. It's essential to have a plan for each session and make sure that both you and your client are 100% present. The fourth mistake is not taking your coaching business seriously.
Coaching isn't just a hobby, it's a profession and should be treated as such. This means taking the time to create an effective program and build a good public image. The fifth mistake is not having highly sought after resources in the press, radio, television and digital media. Having these resources will help you become one of the best coaches on the market today.
By avoiding these five common mistakes, you can become an effective leader and trainer. Always do your best and stay present in order to have successful coaching sessions.
