You are not here merely to make a living. You are here in order to enable the world to live more amply, with greater vision, with a finer spirit of hope and achievement. You are here to enrich the world, and you impoverish yourself if you forget the errand."

Woodrow Wilson

Start the New Year by Experiencing the Magic of Coaching

Give the special person in your life the chance to grow by leaps and bounds (or give yourself a gift). What can be better than the gift that could potentially make someone's future more successful? Imagine, with the gift of coaching, you provide someone the unique opportunity to grow their business in unprecedented ways! Even if they do not continue their coaching experience, they still walk away with invaluable tools and knowledge. This is truly a win-win opportunity!

I usually market my services by the project, each lasting 2-4 months, with follow-up coaching/training available on a month-by-month basis. However, to celebrate the start of a brand new year, I'm offering the following...

Two coaching sessions for $200, including the PCSI Personal Coaching Styles to help facilitate more effective communication.

Take your coaching to the next level! The Birkman Assessment is being offered at a 50% discount ($250) to the first 10 people to sign up with Ann Fry, MSW., my partner and "Head Boomer" of www.itsboomertime.com. This assessment helps analyze your strengths and how you react under stress.

Coaching can transform a New Year's resolution into a reality. Contact me now to take advantage of this offer at eileen@balanceandpower.com or call (516) 623-4353. This offer is good until January 23, 2008.

Why Coaching Now?

Coaching utilization is increasing because it is a cost effective means of achieving phenomenal results for individuals, teams and businesses. Organizations are asking, "Can we afford not to use coaches?"

A study of Fortune 1000 companies reported the following benefits from the coaching they received:

An increase in productivity (by 53%)
Increased customer service (by 39%)
Increased retention of senior people (by 32%)
Reduction in costs (by 23%)
Increased bottom line profitability (by 22%)

The Xerox Corporation found that the impact of using follow-up coaching after formal training gave a massive 87% increase in the effectiveness of training when compared to training alone. One executive coaching firm found that coaching programs delivered an average return on investment of 5.7 times the initial investment in a typical executive coaching assignment.

Coaching has been so successful in the large corporations that it is now becoming more and more common in small companies, professional practices and start-ups.

What is it about coaching that's so powerful?

Are you aware of self-fulfilling prophecies? We all have them. We get trapped in our comfort zones and we don't know what we don't know. The old adage goes, "If you always think what you've always thought, you'll always get what you've always gotten." Or, in other words, "Insanity is doing the same thing over and over expecting a different result."

As an executive life coach I help you challenge your own assumptions, see things from a different perspective, think outside your comfort zone. Then together we set goals for more productive behaviors and actions that will bring you better results. It's practice and application. Common sense dictates that people don't maintain the changes they make without practice and application. The coaching I offer is outcome based. You state your goals and we make them happen together. I hold you accountable for making progress.

Would this be a good gift for someone who is far away?

Absolutely, even if I am primarily located in the NY metropolitan area, I can have coaching sessions with people all over the world by phone. Even people in Long Island and NYC who don't have time to meet in person can engage in phone coaching.
