While lessons is not and has never been all about money, the "money is important if only for financial reasons, " as Woody Allen once quipped. Many coaches find setting rates for their education services to be a challenge. The following article will take us through the theme Perfect pitch for Executive Coaching Puerto Rico establishing the client value proposition.
The conversation about money with sponsoring organizations and clients has to be thoughtful and based on a deep sense of value and respect between the coach and the client. Such value is less about benefits or features-and more about results. So, talking about the 10 different services that will come with the coaching package, is far less compelling to a sponsor-the person or organization hiring the coach, than what he or she views as essential to the organization-solving the perceived or stated problem.
This type of education is further defined as a type of professional service contracted for an individual that is responsible for making handling major decisions that will greatly impact a company or business as a whole. Life instruction, dating and relationship lessons, as well as career and business lessons can help people benefit whether personally or professionally.
A sponsor can buy a particular software system or send the employee to school or for training, and that, along with some experience, usually solves the problem. However, behavioral issues are much harder to solve because they've often been ingrained for years and might even remain invisible to the client. If a particular client has been a procrastinator, an arrogant know-it-all, or abusive in his work relationships, he's often not even conscious of what he is doing or the impact of his behaviors.
As the saying goes, "Fish are the last ones to discover water." As we've seen time and again, clients are often the last ones to discover their true behavioral challenges, partly due to lack of awareness, and often because nobody will give them direct and honest feedback. So, when a sponsor, typically the CEO or HR department, contacts an executive coach about an executive, his or her troublesome behavior has likely begun to interfere with corporate progress, morale, or culture.
Alternatively, if it's not about a problem behavior per se, the CEO might want the client to be coached to get to the next level of leadership. But in either case, there's a perceived issue or behavior that needs to be changed or developed, either a potential career de-railer or a bottom-line enhancer. This perception precipitates the conversation between coach and sponsor.
"Jack's a great COO, but he has a way of talking down to people that makes them feel stupid and eventually angry. He has a big ego-a smart guy sure-but at times, a lot of time actually, he's dismissive and comes across as, well, arrogant." The coach might ask for some examples and pose specific probing questions to help get a sense of the issue(s). When the sponsor finishes describing the situation, he will invariably ask the coach, "Can you help?"
Here's where you get to choose the path that will help you seal the deal that's a win for the sponsor, the client, and the coach. Most coaches will first describe their particular process, which usually involves some steps from helping the client through several phases: self-awareness and understanding; goal setting and accountability; action learning and execution; and, Evaluation and re-establishing new goals.
