Coaching As A Business - Part 2:YOU - As a Component Of A Successful Coaching Practice
Author: Ninive Badilescu

We were saying, in our last installment of this article, that the interaction between You, your Planning and Marketing does ensure a successful coaching practice or any other small business for that matter.

Like with many other businesses your professional skills and knowledge and your business skills play a very significant role in the success of your coaching practice. Unlike with many other businesses your coaching practice will reflect and be built on your own personality. You are part of the services you offer. Through your personal interaction on a personal level with your clients you give the flavour and the shape to your practice.

Through the combination of your personality and your skills and knowledge the first aspect of your services to be affected will be the quality. Regardless of how well prepared, skilled and knowledgeable you are if your personality opposes or denies what you say to and advise your client the quality of the services provided will be affected negatively. However your personality can help you if you get stuck in term of skills or knowledge.

Lets take the example of a client asking you to help and coach him on a communication related matter. Now, you know all there is to know about powerful and efficient communication skills. You have a stack of materials that the client can have access to.

So you should be set for a great experience. No really. Why? Because your personality is not conveying to your client the same things that your are telling him. You might be less excited about small breakthroughs and the clients do not receive the right feedback from you or misinterprets it as criticism. You might find it hard to relate to the issues raised by your client and your actions show lack of understanding. You are not as good a listener as you are an advice giver, or you might just not "click" with your client. Your coaching does not work.
On the other hand you might only have limited skills and knowledge to address the effective communication issues but you have a great personality and you know how to steer your client to find his own answers, get excited about results and keep motivated until the best results are met. You are, in other words, a great coach.

The same is true for the interaction between your personality and your business skills. The Entrepreneurial Results you achieve will be in direct correlation with how well you reach the balance between the quantities of business skills and personality you mix in your coaching practice. A very efficient, skilled but "dry" business person will never achieve in the coaching industry the same success that a person with a good personality will achieve, simply because of the type of relationship we have with our clients.

A great part of our success as coaches is in offering the right service to the right person. There is a great level of tailoring in coaching and I am one of the people who do not believe in a one size-fits-all type of coaching. You have the same principles, methods and models but your approach and the implementation are based on what the needs of the particular client or group of clients are. Each of our clients is at a certain stage/point on their way to reaching their goals or making those life-changing decisions. Each of our clients will come with their individual needs, personal traits, UACs and expectations. We, as coaches, have to be sure we tailor our services to their needs and not expect them to mould to our requirements that will make them fit an universal solution.
