So, how does it feel to be a newly qualified coach? Itching to get going but apprehensive about when, where and how to take the first step?
Typically, you wear the label but with strong awareness of the need to climb the ladder from Competence>Capability>Capacity.
Here are three thoughts on how to get started::
- Believe in yourself and in your capacity to make a difference in people’s lives and in your ability to shift their thinking. If you think you can, you can!
- The magic of coaching only becomes apparent when you see your Coachees ‘lights coming on’…something we refer to as an ‘Aha Moment’. You need to be out their practicing to experience this feeling and when you do, this will give you the confidence to keep going and look for other opportunities to coach people.
- Volunteer your services with a charity whose aims you are aligned with. They will often be keen to have your help and can supply individuals for you to hone your expertise with. You will also meet other like-minded people who can point you in the direction of new markets.
Happy Hunting and curious to know your stories!
