Hire A Life Coach To Help You Grow Your Business

Every business is always on the lookout for ways to find competitive advantages and ways to improve their performance. While businesses have always sought outside help for various needs – outsourcing certain tasks to experts, bringing in consultants – one of the newer trends is for business leaders to call upon the help of life coaches to help achieve their business goals. Have you ever considered hiring a life coach for your business or yourself? Here are some of the reasons why hiring a life coach might be the right move to help take your career or your business to the next level of growth:

A life coach can help you achieve targeted, measurable results. Business leaders tend to be highly focused on results – they don’t want to get into an open-ended commitment with no clear idea of where it’s headed. A good life coach will work with you to set some specific targets and develop a formal coaching plan. For example, if you need help boosting your sales results, the life coach can help you set goals and milestones to evaluate your business’s improvement along the way.

Your life coach is like a mentor to you – but with more structure. Mentoring is one of the most valuable experiences that many business leaders can have as they work to build their careers, hone their skills and learn about new aspects of business. Working with a life coach is similar to working with a trusted mentor, but with the added advantage of having a formal agreement in place and a specific structure built into the relationship to ensure that you reach the goals that you have in mind.

A life coach is like a consultant – but focused on building „soft skills.“ Every business leader is familiar with hiring consultants, whether for IT, strategy, marketing or any other niche area of business expertise. A life coach is like a consultant that you hire for help with your „soft skills“ – relationship building, communication, cultural awareness and adaptability, emotional intelligence, personal resilience, and all the other subtle skills that business leaders need to navigate a complex and competitive world that you live in.

A life coach will help you view the „bigger picture.“ Business leaders are busy people, and sometimes it’s hard to take a step back from the daily rush. A life coach can serve as a professional, objective, confidential sounding board to help you take a look at where your business is going, and where you are headed with your career and your overall life. Are you happy with the person you are in the process of becoming? What would you like to change about your life? How can you better align your business achievements with your overall plans and dreams for your life?

A life coach is like a „business therapist.“ Many people go to therapists and counselors to help overcome emotional issues and life challenges. A life coach serves this same purpose for you and your business by helping you overcome mental barriers, resolve tension and achieve clarity which will lead you to even greater successes.

Learning The Mechanics Of Speed Reading

The mind is a source of immeasurable power, and we only use a tiny portion of it. In the book, „Speed Reading in only One Hour“ I show you how to tap some of that unused power and how to use it for your own improved grades in high school, college, and great successes life.

Your brain and mind are capable of understanding from 10,000 to 50,000 units of information every minute; one unit being equal to one word. This information is based upon somewhat old statistics (1980’s). Based on new speed reading technology, as well as strides in brain and mind development, you can probably achieve phenomenal reading speeds yourself and easily.

The average HS grad, when tested, reads about 250 words per minute. The college student reads at about 300 words per minute. But, no matter what your baseline reading speed, don’t worry, it is only the beginning. Can you imagine what an advantage you would have to be able to read over 100% faster than you did before? The possibilities are limitless.

We receive information through our five physical senses, (touching, tasting, hearing, smelling, and seeing) and by those we make decisions. We make choices and judgments from the factors that our physical senses bring into play. The five physical senses (sight, smell, hearing, taste, touch) are preprogrammed for automatic reaction.

We learn, not only from physical senses, but through various forms of thought. Most thought is conscious in nature. Senses however work automatically. An example of an automatic reaction might be: when a hungry teenager smells pizza, he or she begins salivating. What’s taking place is that the sense of smell (called olfactory senses) has automatically delivered a thought, „PIZZA“, to the brain and mind. The thought may be unconscious.

Sensing food is a physical sensation of your sense smell. It is a mental sensation (unconsciously or consciously) through thinking. And finally, there tends to be a physical sensation by eating, swallowing, and smiling. To summarize the PIZZA experience: Brain and mind is where the „action“ is — and your body is where the „reaction“ is.

The brain and the mind has enormous untapped power; I’ll teach you how to tap into that potential through Speed Reading in One Hour, available at www.speedread.org . I’ll show you how you can be a total success in your college life and beyond.
