As a student of human performance, a productivity consultant, and a professional coach for more than twenty years, I've identified "Effects of Coached Collaboration" that help create and sustain change for individuals. It is human nature for an individual to become comfortable with discomfort and to procrastinate—even when s/he knows better. It is the habit of the mind to be preoccupied with the past and fearful of the future. Your willingness to strive for achievement beyond the foibles of the mind and to exceed your basic human nature improves greatly when a trusted partner engages with you to create and support your goals. "Coached collaboration" differs from mere collaboration in that a client's investment of trust with a coach creates a uniquely powerful and productive synergy. Several effects of coached collaboration that create and sustain change for individuals are...
The Partnership/Commitment Effect: It is a phenomenon of the human condition that commitment to intentions and goals intensifies and partnership is generated when a coaching client invests his/her trust and chooses to engage in collaboration with a performance and achievement specialist who is professional, broadly knowledgeable, trustworthy, unbiased, fun, enthusiastic, and whole-heartedly dedicated to the client's achievement.The Awareness Effect: Peaked awareness, clarity, reflection, and heightened creativity are achieved for the coaching client through coached collaboration.The Focus Effect: Collaborating with a trusted partner to give attention to the present moment and real-time circumstances produces focus on what is really going on and what has greatest priority.The Discovery Effect: Coached collaboration allows for the realization of questions and the discovery of answers that cannot otherwise be realized if an individual attempts to explore alone.The Revelation Effect: Engaging in collaboration with a coach reveals to the client that which the client did not know that s/he did not know. In other words: You can't have a breakthrough about what there is to do to succeed if you don't become aware of what you didn't know that you didn't know.The Accountability Effect: Responsibility, confidence, keeping one's word to others, and follow-through increases and the client does not settle for that which does not work when engaged in coached collaboration.The Momentum Effect: Coached collaboration fosters rapid turnover of methods and action-plans resulting in fast and efficient discovery of the best methods, processes, and action-plans to achieve the most desirable results.The Breakthrough Effect: Each of us manifest beliefs and behaviors that seem second-nature, automatic, and sometimes even unconscious to us. When coached collaboration is at play, we have the unique opportunity to expose and become aware of judgements and attachments hiding-out in our "blind spots." Amazing breakthroughs happen when we become aware of and take responsibility for what's been going-on in our blind spots!--
