Who Benefits from Habit Coaching?

Habit Coaching is a relatively new field of professional coaching. You may not have considered who it benefits. 

1. Managers Looking to Get the Most Out of Their Team

You likely have employees who are good but could be great. Perhaps it's a person who is highly skilled at his/her job but can get easily overwhelmed or who struggles with staying organized and prioritized. 

Oftentimes these kinds of employees struggle to reach their potential because they haven't been able to create a job-specific set of systems that work with their individual personality, work style and temperament.  

By supporting these employees with dedicated habit coaching, they're able to learn and integrate an individualized approach to excelling at their job performance. Not only do they gain a new set of skills and systems, but we see a dramatic increase in their confidence. Finally, such an investment in their skills and performance creates tremendous goodwill and loyalty, which directly connects to employee satisfaction and retention. 

2. Entrepreneur/Solo-preneurs 

If you're running a small business or if you're a one-person show, you likely have to be good at a lot of things, maybe everything. You do it all: HR, finance, marketing, IT, strategic planning, etc., on top of delivering on the service or product you bring to the marketplace. 

When we have a lot on our plates, and especially when many of those tasks are not in our skill set and not things we enjoy, it can be difficult to stay afloat. Entrepreneurs and solo-preneurs are often stretched very thin, which impacts quality of service and deliverables, as well as the ability to work on the business, not just in it. 

By leveraging habit coaching, you'll integrate better systems and routines that make your work flow better and your execution more reliable. You'll decrease procrastination of difficult and unsavory tasks and you'll create a roadmap for how you stay on top of everything without unneeded stress and overwhelm. 

As a result, you'll enjoy your work more, have more focus and be able to make short- and long-term decisions with a clearer head.  

3. Leaders

Being a good example for your team and setting a high standard at work is pivotal to being an inspiring and influential leader. Leaders who struggle with organization, follow-through, punctuality, and execution of strategic plans often struggle to get the most out of themselves but also their employees. 

Through habit coaching, you can identify obstacles to your performance and develop strategies to enhance your effectiveness. You'll pinpoint skills to strengthen and create a plan to improve weaknesses.

Leaders who invest in their own professional development show up differently for their employees. They set a high expectation for their own performance, and therefore experience no difficulty in setting high expectations for their team. This often has a ripple effect, with the leader's improved performance acting as a contagion throughout the company. As the saying goes, a rising tide lifts all boats.
