One-on-One Coaching

One-on-one coaching helps women at any stage of their career establish and accomplish goals to become stellar employees and develop their personal potential..

Coaching utilizes the synergize! Four Steps to Success model and is available by itself, or with participation in a Peer Accountability Group:

synergize! Four Steps to Success:

• Visualize.  You would never wake up one morning and say, "I think I'll run a marathon next week."  Running 26.2 miles is simply not something you do on a whim.  Success is the same way.  You don't just wake up one morning and say, "I think I'll be successful next week."  You can't achieve success if you don't know what it looks like - if you don't visualize yourself doing it.  Whether it's crossing the finish line after 26.2 miles (or 1 mile) or achieving success you first need to know what it looks like and visualize yourself getting there.

• Understand.  In order to run a marathon you have to understand some basics about your body - mostly how to prevent injury and illness.  You need to understand race dynamics and potential pitfalls.  Success is much like that.  Once you know what it looks like you need to understand what's needed to achieve it - what you already have within you and what you are lacking.  Consider what skills, abilities or knowledge is needed; along with what you already have, what you can learn, and what may be beyond your capacity.  Do your research, talk with people in the know to understand if you have what it takes - or can learn what you don't have - to get to where you want to be.  Often it is our own limiting beliefs that get in the way of accomplishing what we want.  Understanding what they are is the first step to overcoming them.

• Develop.  Once you understand what's needed to achieve your success you can develop the areas you need to.  This could involve education, training, learning a new skill set, working on changing your behavior to communicate more effectively, dealing with some personality issues or limiting beliefs.  Take the time to develop the areas you need to so that you give yourself the best shot at achieving your potential.  This is where a coach comes in.  You'd never run a marathon without a coach.  A coach helps you understand what you need and helps you develop those skills or traits.

• Align.  Just as it takes a village to raise a child, it takes a network to help us truly be successful.  Who is in your network that can help you accomplish your goals?  Do you have a mentor?  Is your boss a supporter?  Who are your cheerleaders?  It is important to include people who will hold you accountable and appropriately challenge you when you need it.  (Often this does not include friends who may be inclined to simply agree with you!)

One-on-one coaching helps you accomplish personal and professional goals.  synergize! provides you with the support, encouragement and challenge to identify and achieve success on your terms.
