Coaching
 
What is Coaching?
Coaching is a form of consulting.
Like a consultant a coach helps you:

  • Solve Problems
  • Design a Plan of Action
  • Make Decisions

  • In addition a coach "stays with" (coaches) the client to:
  • Implement the plan of action, working through the    inevitable changes and any obstacles.
  • Maintain a healthy balance between your personal life and your professional life.
  • Keep looking ahead to take advantage of opportunities, which are just now formulating.
  • Bring out your personal best, Keeping focused on your needs, values and vision.


  • Why does Coaching Work?
    Coaching works because it brings out your best. A coach believes you have the answers and is trained to bring them out (painlessly)!

    Specifically I:
     
    Listen. I listen fully. You are the focus. I listen to what you say, what you are trying to say, and what you are not saying.

    Share. After you have fully communicated, I share with you my advice, ideas, comments and views on your situation, dilemma or opportunity.

    Endorse. Anyone who is up to something needs an outside voice full of endorsement, compassion and acknowledgement. Not as a yes-type person, but as someone who knows what it takes to achieve

    Suggest. I want a lot for you. I want you to be healthy, happy and successful. I want you to be on a strong financial track, I want you to enjoy your family and friends. I want you to have a life that inspires others- and yourself. Part of my job is to be at least 3 steps ahead of you, yet be with you. As such, I make requests and suggestions and I always remember that you are the client.

    What Type of Goals Can a Coach Help You Achieve?
    My practice is made up mostly of managers in the service industry. I coach them on various management techniques and how to bring out the best in them and the staff they supervise. Some of the goals I can help you achieve are:

  • Balance between your professional and home life
  • Helping to realise what are your dreams
  • Work on a vision for yourself, your team
  • Effective employee appraisals
  • Getting rid of tolerations
  • Team Goals
  • Team Visioning
  • Creating Superstar Teams

    Testimonials
     
    Coaching a Testimonial
    During the past few months of my life , I have been in a state of indecision, fear, lack of focus, and general uneasiness. These factors resulted from a change of employment, and not really wanting to be in this position, at this time in my life. I have spent many a sleepless night in worry about business operations, my fear of failure or success, and overall I was making myself physically ill from the culmination of all the above. Milton Almeida was instrumental in giving me focus through coaching sessions when I was in such a state of emotional flux, I was not able to see clearly at all. The one single question that was repeated to me, is this where you want to be in your life at this time, and if not what are you doing about it. This phrase reverberated through me like the sound of a Sunday church bell, as I contemplated the answer. With the following coaching sessions, my clarity improved, my direction returned, and my health, sleep, have vastly improved. At this time, I have made changes in my life, that have eased all my concerns, by making a conscious directional change. I have freedom, and I do not feel like I am being "pulled under" with pressure that I can barely keep my head above the surface. I have never been in a happier state.

    When I have been given any form of advice, being a natural cynic, I gauge my inevitable success of lack thereof, on the level of success that has worked for that person, by "practising what you preach". And how this has affected their life. Hours spent conversing with Milton, I have noticed how coaching has changed him as a person. The direction he has achieved, and his personal commitment to others that have joined in the same program. I wanted that peace and clarity in my life, and decided to take the necessary to to make it so. In retrospect, I would without any doubt recommend coaching to anyone who has the time, and if you do not, MAKE TIME. The precepts taught and embraced by a caring individual such as Milton Almeida in this program, you cannot afford to pass up on, it will change your life forever.

    "My usual response to conflict is to go with my gut instinct which usually means that I try to defend and protect myself or justify my own position. Coaching has allowed me to see that those I am in conflict with are probably coming from the same place and that if I do not recognize that and attempt to see where others are coming from and why, that conflict will never get resolved.
