Coaching Elements: How A Better You Coaching Works
The A Better You Coaching Model was developed with a holistic approach in mind. The self discovery phase occurs predominantly in the beginning of the coaching process, but it carries on. Not only throughout the process, but long after the coaching relationship has ended. Building strong relationships is a critical component of the coaching process; however, it also becomes a huge element of success with executives who are leading people within their organizations and quite frankly with interactions in their everyday lives. Accountability is a system of documenting goals and simply put, ensuring they get accomplished. The final phase within the A Better You Coaching Model focuses on results.
Self Discovery Happens Before Coaching Begins
Your coach at A Better You Coaching is an experienced business leader. Her training as an executive coach and real world experience as a corporate executive will provide you with the skills you need to reach your goals.
Process of evaluating ones self
Before your coach can help you or your business move in the right direction, you first need to determine which direction you're currently headed. Don't worry, your coach has a compass.
Identifying your strengths and your opportunities
Your business, your strengths and your opportunities are all unique, so accurately identifying your specific needs will be vital to your success. This step will go hand-in-hand with your self-evalutation.
Opening doors and asking the hard questions will help you and your coach move forward.
Determining what your opportunities are is just the beginning. Even more important than the what, is the why. Unlocking the true reasons behind the things you find during your self evaluation requires some digging, but A Better You Coaching will be there for you every step of the way.
Creating an awareness by unlocking your "stucks".
When you can no longer move forward with a task or an idea, you're considered "stuck". Similarily, in coaching, a "stuck" can be the deepest, underlying why that's causing your opportunity for improvement. Every stuck you encounter becomes a target for you and the coach to further evaluate.
Segmenting thoughts
Now that you've identified some of the things that might be holding you back or stopping you completely from achieving your goals, it's time to organize and prioritize. Breaking your "stucks" into smaller pieces will enable you and your coach to efficiently work towards a plan to get you to where you want to be.
You are not alone
These steps alone can be exhausting, but remember that your coach is just a phone call away.
Building Strong Relationships
Establish rapport between coach and client
It's very important to establish trust between the coach and client, and confidence in the coach's ability to deliver results.
Honest and open communication between coach and client
Our methods are proven and success will happen as long as both the coach and the client remain honest and communicate with each other.
Confidence in confidentiality
Our mission is to get you to where you or your business need to be. Your privacy is extremely important to A Better You Coaching. All information that is shared with your coach is 100% confidential.
Not fixing, moving forward
A Better You Coaching can't fix you because you aren't broken. We're here to help you identify your goals and reach them.
Set very clear expectations about commitments and communication.
From day one you and your coach will establish the ways and the frequency in which you'll communicate. Whether via email, phone, or in person, you'll meet with your coach often to discuss your progress.
Accountability
Establish a process to set goals and accomplish them.
Accountability is a key feature to the success of A Better You Coaching clients. You and your coach will work together to create daily or weekly achievable milestones. You will be expected to complete any tasks that you and your coach agree upon. Each milestone you reach during your coaching gets you that much closer to your ultimate goal: A Better You.
Ensure client is setting goals that are challenging yet attainable.
Your ultimate goal of becoming a better you is your coach's primary goal as well. You will learn how to take on challenging amounts of tasks while keeping your long-term objectives in focus. Learning how to set priorities will not only benefit your professional life, but your personal life as well.
Practice theories
The theories used by your coach at A Better You Coaching are supported by facts and are being used by thousands of successful business owners, managers, and entrepreneurs. Candy Myura is not only a trained professional in business coaching, she also has real world experience as a CEO.
Enlisting subjects that can vouch for client
Feeling comfortable with your coaching experience is foremost in the growth process, however, if you can engage a co-worker, friend or family member that will be honest about your progress that may give the 3rd party perspective necessary to reach your ultimate goal. Not every coaching experience requires a 3rd party to provide feedback, this element is available to those clients who need the extra support and accountability to accomplish their goals.
Build learning curriculum together
Understanding where your opportunities are as an individual or where your employees opportunities are is the starting point to education. When you have the framework established, it is easy to identify the methods to resolve issues. When you work together to build your plan or curriculum, the outcome is always better! People want to feel part of the solution, not that rules and training are being forced down their throats. When the client is engaged in the process and part of the establishment of their own curriculum, there is a cohesiveness that supports growth and enrichment.

Follow- through techniques
Learning how to build a portfolio of skills to not only accomplish your immediate goals, but skills that will assist you in the future can be a gift that will last a lifetime. Most people have great intentions. Starting projects at home is a great example. There is enthusiasm, drive, passion and shortly there after, the enthusiasm fades and the project sits unfinished. Follow-through is process of staying true to your ambitions while holding yourself accountable to accomplish your goals/projects.
Understanding the importance of circumstances and balance
Individuals who make well thought out decisions with predictive circumstances are more prepared to handle what life is capable of throwing at them. If you think through what the result might be prior to taking an action, you decrease the severity and risk. Level headed thinking poises professionals to lead by example and be more mindful. When you address the impact and importance of balance, you create a whole person who is armed with knowledge, energy and support necessary to accomplish anything!
Next steps for personal / professional development
After the coaching relationship ends, professionals can walk away with a plan of action. Whether you are continuing to follow through on the goals developed between you and your coach while holding yourself accountable to reach milestones or you are brainstorming through self discovery and asking yourself the hard questions to overcome significant "stucks" in your life; the toolbox of skills you are collecting will stay with you and not only assist you with your personal or professional plans, but will help you to educate others.
Practice of self accountability
It is way easier to be the boss and point the finger or pass judgement when subordinates are unable to step up the challenge. Understanding how to motivate others, challenge them to achieve excellence and meet deadlines is the art of holding others accountable. Are you able to set clear action items for yourself as a leader to accomplish and hold yourself to the same standards you hold your people to? Mastering the ability look within and stretch yourself to grow may never happen, however practice makes perfect...
Circle of Accomplishment
Understanding that coaching provides structure and measurable accountabilities; it is critical that clients feel empowered to move on after their coaching experience with the confidence and tools to inspire themselves and others to greatness!
