Executive Coaching is just that, coaching executives and management personnel on how to deal with specific business challenges so that the immediate problem gets resolved. SELF COACHING goes beyond this concept of presenting issue resolution. It develops the individual's ability through the SOLVE process to understand the greater concept of being able to resolve any and all difficult issues not just the one presently in front of them. SELF COACHING is Executive Coaching taken to the next level.

Executive Coaching in the business community is not a new concept but one that has until recently been accessible to only a chosen few. From top-level executives, through mid-level management and certainly including the general work force, the vast majority has thought the availability of executive coaching for workplace issues excluded them. CHANGE in the workplace has revised this thinking. It used to be that coaching, mentoring and supervision were available in our work environment. Not anymore! Now more than ever there is no one in the existing workplace available to provide the coaching processes we are seeking. A void has been created!
Outside of the work environment personal coaches are an identified and accepted source in helping us attain a variety of life needs.
Health and fitness coaches, nutritional coaches, home and personal fashion coaches to mention just a few, all provide us with guidance, direction and problem resolution.
The reason for these people entering our life is apparent. We don't have the time, energy or alternative sources available to help us mentor and monitor our progress in attaining the personal goals we set for ourselves.
We are overwhelmed, overextended and overwrought with the problems, both at work and in our personal life, which restrict our ability to resolve existing issues before the next challenge is upon us. We're going 110mph in a 45mph speed zone and something has got to give
Executive Coaching provides one way to catch your breath and clearly think about what needs to be done, create an option developed plan to accomplish it and then be able to put your plan into action.
 

Problems seem to have taken hold of society. Some identifiable categories include anxiety and stress disorders, tremendous increases in the diagnosis of depression, single-family parenting, the continued rise in divorce, the challenge of blended families, increased substance abuse, increased child and adolescent dysfunction as well as countless other manifested problem categories.

It is as if there is a pervasive national anxiety that has permeated our consciousness. This can be seen in the huge amounts of Zanax and Prozac that are being consumed and considered a normal aid to functioning in today's hectic society. At times it seems the only thing to do is roll over and hope things just go away. It is this hopelessness and feeling of being paralyzed that SELF COACHING is designed to attack.

Overwhelming! We have become a society with too much to do it and not enough time to do it. The on-going stress and pressure of taking care of all the things and people in our lives that need caring for, leaves very little time if any to take care of ourselves. Eventually there is a price that is paid. Some of the pressure cooker elements of today's society include single parented and blended families with all the associated issues that add to complicating life. In addition, economic pressures keep everyone in the family working outside the home and yet needing to be fresh to work within the home as well. This extensive constant pressure has to also negatively affect our primary partner relationships as well as our relationship with ourselves. Is it any wonder then that it becomes very difficult to consistently be a good problem solver in our own lives?
There is a limit to the number of problems that we can effectively solve in a given day. That is why we need HELP!
We need to be able to rely on a process that will provide that help in empowering ourselves to be able to SOLVE the continuing problems we face.
We need to rely on ourselves to move us along in life. We need to be able to SELF COACH ourselves in order to SOLVE our problems.
An additional benefit of the SOLVE process is that SELF COACHING works for personal issues as well as problems in the work environment. Why would this be particularly important to the organization? Well, actually for a variety of reasons. First, employees with personal problems many times do not show up for work, or they start late or leave early. This is not a particularly appetizing group of options.
When the stress, pressure, anxiety and depression (take your pick), of dealing unsuccessfully with personal problems are so overwhelming, then work becomes out of the question.
Whether this condition lasts a day or an extended period of time, the stress on the organization resulting from absenteeism and tardiness is a problem in itself.
The other side of the coin is that employee with personal problems many times DO show up for work. People who have difficulty concentrating and focusing do not normally become the employee of the month.
When our mind is wandering or reworking personal unresolved issues much of our strength, energy, creativity and productive thinking is lost.
Even though the person is there, they are really not there as identified by their productivity or lack of it.
Therefore, the value of individually owning the SOLVE process allows for its use whenever necessary and beneficial, whether it is for resolving personal or work-related problems.
It is this ability to fulfill two needs that supports the dual-purpose benefit of SELF COACHING. I have strong beliefs that the ability to competently resolve problems in one context can certainly be shifted to other situations. Once the SOLVE model is "owned" by the individual, it is theirs to use in their personal as well as professional life. How could this be otherwise?
 
 
  Change! That is what SELF COACHING promotes. Your workplace environment has changed. Re-engineered, right-sized, reorganized or whatever the term, the end result is identical. Change! As workplace surroundings change you need to change as well. Problems that were someone else's issues are now yours. People who used to help solve your problems are no longer there. It is now up to you and that is good news. You can Do It and SELF COACHING will show you how. SELF COACHING is a process of change. It is a process of identifying difference, being able to respond to the needs of today's work environment that demands more personal responsibility.
 
 
 

SELF COACHING allows teams to perform in a more effective, constructive and productive way. As is sometimes the case teams do not understand or use the process necessary to cooperatively demonstrate teamwork concepts. Rather than a true team approach in identifying and resolving workplace issues a vocal minority of the team many times seems to take control. Obviously this limits or eliminates drawing from the different ideas and perspectives that the total team has to offer.

Using SELF COACHING and the SOLVE process for team application guarantees maximizing each team members participation in an equal, cooperative dialogue. Each team member is responsible for working through the SOLVE process giving their SELF COACHING input as they are called on to present their ideas in resolving the identified issue. Each person is committed to participate equally when it is their turn to do so for each step of the SOLVE process. In this way the team gets the benefit of each members thinking and a better resolution is developed.

   
 
  SELF COACHING develops an individual and organizational belief that "I can do it!" A new level of empowerment and self-esteem is achieved. Most people like to feel that they have the ability to resolve the problems they face without someone else always being there. It is a new statement of trust and confidence that is established. It says, "You are here because we believe you can do the job you are responsible to do. You have the ability, you are competent and you have been trained in the SOLVE process so you are prepared in knowing what to do and how to do it. Go for it!"
   
  These are the types of feelings and statements that need to be developed in the workplace.
   
  This is what raises moral and makes for happier more productive employees throughout the organization.
   
  This feeling of empowerment, both of our organizational self and our personal self, is what decreases turnover and increases employee retention.
   
  This certainly affects the organization's bottom line in terms of less needed hiring, training and everything else that goes along with recruiting new employees. It also creates a smoother running, more productive, more satisfying place to work. It is just as "profitable" for the people working within the organization as it is for the organization itself. The SOLVE process creates a WIN\WIN environment for everyone!
   
 
  Having a M.S. and Ph.D. in Family and Organizational Systems, family business is a specialty area that I have a great amount of expertise in. SELF COACHING and the SOLVE process certainly works extremely well in dealing with family business issues. In addition, my personal expertise and understanding of emotional components, interactions and family dynamics allows me to work with family businesses to achieve successful outcomes.
