Coaching is all about results
Whether you are a life coach, a business coach, a career coach, a health coach, a sports coach – whatever your coaching specialty – your coaching practice will fail if your clients don’t achieve real, lasting results.
Real results don’t happen with mimicry – and that’s the problem with many coaching programs. Just showing someone how to do what you do is only part of the answer.
Real results happen when you guide your clients through your program in a way that honors and builds on their own natural strengths!
When you deliver great results to each and every client, your practice will grow and thrive. Your clients will keep coming back for more and they’ll tell other people how great you are (and no marketing is as effective as testimonials).
It’s not enough to go on gut instinct and intuition when you are working with your clients... there’s too much at stake. You need to quickly establish a solid understanding of each client so you can tune your coaching to ensure maximum results each and every time.
Assess -- Connect -- Impact
Consider how valuable it would be to know insights like this about your clients when you start to work with them:
-
Their perceptual experience and the core strengths that support that experience.
-
The specific attractions, strengths, and challenges they experience when Interacting with people with your Perceptual Style.
-
Their perspective on change and the unique skill set that allows them to initiate, recognize, and adapt to change.
-
The keys to motivation that enthuse and inspire them to take action.
-
The social surroundings, situations and environments they THRIVE in.
-
Their approach to conflict and the core strengths they possess to deal with opposition, arguments and disputes.
Understanding your clients' Perceptual Style (as well as your own) will help you truly connect with each and every client as you guide them through your coaching program to achieve the results only you can provide!
Documenting Your Client's Perceptual Style
Documenting your client's Perceptual Style has never been easier. The Internet-based Celebrate You! assessment takes 30-40 minutes and if they are interrupted, they can save their answers and continue at a later time. All the questions are neutral and noninvasive: they’ll be asked to rate which adjectives they most identify with, creating a highly accurate psychological portrait. And best of all, you have an option of having your client receive their results and the Celebrate You! action guide within a few minutes after they submit their assessment. Or you can set the process so that you receive the results and you deliver them to your client.
Imagine the personal confidence and self-esteem your client's will have when you incorporate the following type of information into your coaching approach:

-
Social Interaction is essential to their life. What's also interesting is that they will thrive in some social situations and surroundings and be miserable in others. Why continue guessing which is which?
-
Communication is vital. We all want to be understood, yet we experience disconnects with others that get in the way. How they see the world and make it meaningful to them has everything to do with how they express themselves and how they listen. Why not tap into their communication strengths right now to ensure the important connections they want?
-
Self-motivation spurs them to action for what they want to do and what they need to do. Why waste time with procrastination when they have the natural skills to tame it?
-
Some conflict in life is inevitable. Whether the conflicts are minor or severe, they possess natural skills to help them deal effectively with opposition and disagreement. Why suffer through another uncomfortable conflict with someone they care about when they could use their strengths to diffuse and resolve the situation easily?
-
Change is constant; it's part of daily life. Their adaptability strengths mean the difference between excessive worry and stress versus dealing with changes on their terms. Isn’t time to bring their strengths related to change out in the open?
-
Real leadership success happens from the inside out - using theirr natural strengths to guide and inspire others to great achievement. They are presented with opportunities to lead every day, in all aspects of their life. Why not harness their natural leadership skills and take the stress out of leading?
-
Persuasion is a critical life skill. Convincing others to agree with their point of view, adopt a particular perspective, or take a course of action they suggest is something they need to do every day – at work, at home, at school, with friends. Why not tap into Their natural abilities to persuade with ease and confidence?
The more you know about their Perceptual Style, the more you can tap into their natural strengths and potential. That’s because there’s an extensive but finite set of skills and behaviors that naturally align with each Perceptual Style.
The alignment of skills and behaviors with Perceptual Style exists because people naturally see the things associated with their Perceptual Style. Those things are easy for them to grasp, understand, and use.
Awareness of the other five Perceptual Styles and how they differ from you provides incredible insights about their relationships with family and friends.
The truth is, what they see is real for them but what others see is real for them. We all use the filter of perception to make meaning for ourselves.
All six Perceptual Styles are normal and healthy ways of perceiving the world. None is better than or more accurate in its perception than any other. Each has unique strengths and specific blind spots. All shine in some situations and struggle in others.
