If you are considering getting started with personal development or personal leadership, there are several objections you may have. Below, we cover some common objections and explain why they are often unfounded.
Coaching is woolly: There is a misconception that coaching is woolly and not practical. At In2Coaching we believe in a practical and result-oriented approach. Our programmes are aimed at achieving measurable results and developing practical skills. After every session you will be given tips and assignments you can put into practice.
I have no sense of how it works: If you've never been coached before, you may not know what to expect. That's why we at In2Coaching have developed a clear and structured approach. Our coaches always clearly explain what you can expect from a session and what the purpose of the session is.
Coaching is painful: It can be scary to broach certain topics during a coaching session. But it is important to remember that our coaches are trained to support and guide you through this process. Safety and trust are paramount. You can trust that you are in good hands.
I have to dig deep into the past: While some coaching sessions focus on the past, this is not always the case. At In2Coaching, we focus on the present and the future and on developing practical skills you can apply in the future. Success can be built on, failure, past mistakes, cannot.
Something is wrong with me if I have to go to a coach: This is a common misconception. Instead, it is powerful to ask for help when you are stuck or want to improve your skills and abilities. Coaching is aimed at personal growth and more fulfilment in your life and there is nothing wrong with that, right?
It is too expensive: Investment in coaching may indeed seem like a hefty expense, but it is important to remember that it is an investment in yourself and your future. By investing in coaching, you are investing in your personal and professional growth. This can pay off in several ways, such as saving time and money by making decisions faster and finding solutions to problems. In addition, coaching can help you boost your self-confidence, making you much more decisive and successful in your work and experience more happiness and satisfaction in your life. So in the long run, coaching can have a valuable and positive impact on various aspects of your life."
We're just going to talk: While talking is an important part of coaching, we also focus on practical exercises and assignments to help you with your personal development.
Do I have to go and consciously watch and reflect every day I don't have time for that, can't you fix it for me faster? Our coaches offer various practical tools and exercises to help you in your personal development. However, it is important to remember that it is a process and it takes time to develop new habits and skills.
What do you expect from a coachee? At In2Coaching we expect our coachees to play an active role in the coaching process. This means that as a coachee we expect you to provide input and examples from your daily life that we can work with. In addition, it is important that you take action with what you have learned through exercises and applying new skills in your daily life. Finally, we expect you to share your results with us so that we can make adjustments where necessary. But most importantly, so we can celebrate together what you have achieved.
At In2Coaching, we strive to enter into a committed and result-oriented collaboration, in which we put your personal development and growth at the centre."
