A motivational coach is a partner that begins a dialogue with an employee, asking proactive questions and providing the safety and skills needed to go on in a positive manner.
Motivational coaching is a powerful tool for people who are making important changes in their lives. A motivational guide provides safety and the necessary skills to continue on a positive manner.
Motivational coaching helps people develop positive thinking and reach their objectives. Managers and business owners realize that motivational coaching helps them continue on their way, concentrating in reaching success.
Through conversation, people can understand why they find themselves in their current situation. Afterwards, they can be helped to find strategies, motivation and to focus in designs and how to move on towards new and better situations.
Motivational coaching can provide the guidelines and directions when it comes to personal issues, especially when people feel they need to talk to someone about the difficulties they face with their colleagues, friends or family members. A motivational guide’s role is that of a supporter who helps identify problems and implement solutions in order to overcome the situation and, in fact, help develop new behaviors and attitudes.
Everyone is different, and so everyone is motivated by different things, according to the personal needs of each individual. According to Maslow’s Theory and his pyramid, unfulfilled needs affect your pyramid of needs in a negative way. That is to say, satisfied needs don’t incite action, but unsatisfied ones do.
Among the main motivations people face in a work environment, you will find the following:
- Good salary conditions.
- Recognition of effort.
- Schedule flexibility.
- Ease when it comes to the mixing of family and work like.
- Good work environment.
- Personalized growth plans, according to the professional development of each worker.
- Promotion and development possibilities inside the business.
- Feeling that the business cares for the worker.
Motivation is directly linked with need; that is to say, if I need “X”, then the motivation will be directly linked with however important is the need that needs to be satisfied. Lack of motivation also comes into play, with the limits that come with the belief that I CAN’T.
You can wait until things change and place the important decisions that affect you on the hands of others, believing that everything will improve on its own and that you are on the hands of destiny itself, waiting for the life you want to arrive by itself. You can do it, it’s your decision.
But you can also decide that you want to chase your dreams, reach your goals and take action when it comes to your life. A motivational coach is what you need to:
- Change your world and the one of the people around you.
- Get back your power of choice.
- Concentrate on your objectives.
- Chance the way you communicate with yourself.
- Eliminate limiting beliefs.
- Enjoy the way.
- Improve your self-esteem.
