Steps to Coaching Success

Read many coaching books which explain coaching process, what it takes to be successful and others. These explanations sum up to simple yet difficult points 1) set unadulterated goal 2) get resources to get it done 3) track the progress. These three steps are absolutely important if one were to be successful in any endeavor. Clearly, it's a lot more difficult done than said. First we all suffer goal conflicts which dilute the attention to attain the goals. How we weigh what is more important than others? Second, goal conflict also takes away resources that may need to achieve the results. We all have limited time, money , connections that need to get job done. Unadulterated goal is more a myth than reality when it's weighted against the complexity of life and different roles we wear as individual, father, student, husband, boss, subordinate etc.... Final, tracking the progress, it's by far the most important but often being ignored. Without tracking the progress, we don;t know how we are doing whether we are off and how far from the target. In coaching that how we measure the success of coaching process whether it's worth paying for the services. Any one of three essences that constitutes successful coaching is a must for a coach to grasp.

What did we learn?

One of the most often heard comments from parents is their kids are nailed to the seats for computer games or appear doing something that parents are not comfortable in front of the computer (when asked what they are not comfortable about, parents couldn't name any specific). The debate over the usage of computer by our kids is long and acrimonious. Experts have loads of advices helping parents what can and can't be done in order to regulate the usage of kid's computer time. Not only these experts dispute how kid's computer time should be regulated, they also dispute the time kids are allowed to use the computer. Parents are given the plethora of methods which offer a solution that you could follow particular experts' tenets and no other. I just wonder by regulating the activities that prevent kids to receive information that is not right for them, would there be a better way for parents just to be a part of kid's world and find out what they are actually receiving, and then share with them in whatever form that helps to keep the dialogue going.
