Have you ever heard the expression "You don't
know what you don't know"? Well, we believe
that what you don't know about your
"emotional self" may be limiting your
"business self" in ways that you've never
considered.
In our coaching practice, we often consult
with business owners who are mainly focused
on day-to-day operations and "putting out
fires." The desire to do something different
or better is a vague undercurrent that never
gets explored or developed in a constructive
way.
We are two Pittsburgh-area professional
business coaches with many success stories
under our belts. We have taken our own
practices - and our clients' businesses - to
the "next level" with a cutting edge
technology called Neuro Emotional
Technique.
Our experience shows that NET can break
through obstacles to success by helping you
get emotionally aligned with your goals. When
combined with solid business coaching, NET
can be highly effective in helping your
business move forward into new, uncharted
territory! We focus on eight key areas for
business success: People, sales, strategic
planning, finance & accounting, product
development, leadership, marketing and
operations.

Dear Barbara,
These are exciting times for people living in
Pittsburgh. By the time you read this, our
hometown Steelers will have been to the Super
Bowl, and could become the first team in
history to win it six times. Whether or not
you are a football fan, isn't it exciting to
see our favorite team's colors everywhere
around our city? I have lived in Pittsburgh
for 20 years this month, and this week I am
especially proud to call it home.
Next week is also international coaching
week. I am thrilled about this and offer
you the gift of coaching. During
International Coaching Week (February 1 - 7),
be one of the first ten people to either call
or e-mail me at Clear Intentions, and win a
free 30-minute coaching session. If you have
always wanted to find out what professional
coaching (distinct from sports coaching) is
all about, here is an opportunity to get
first-hand experience.
I look forward to hearing from you. Go
Steelers!!
Best wishes / Mit freundlichen Grüssen,
Barbara Schwarck, PCC, CPCC
President, Clear Intentions

| What Is Coaching and Why Does It Work? |
| |
Professional coaching was created to assist
individuals and companies to achieve their
full potential. Coaching is all about
transformation and achieving breakthrough
results. It bridges the gap between where you
are and where you want to be by applying
organizational development, psychology,
business administration, and personal growth
skills and techniques to your specific goals
and objectives. Through a process of
discovery, goal setting, and strategic
action, individuals realize extraordinary
results in a short period of time.
Because coaching provides a powerful,
collaborative relationship, individuals are
more willing to support themselves and keep
their commitments. Coaches encourage clients
to do more than they would on their own and
through a well- conceived step-by-step
process, clients learn to focus better and
produce results more quickly.
What Kind of Coaching Applies to Me?
There are many kinds of coaches available for
hire. You can get yourself an Executive
Coach, Life Coach, Career Coach, Parent
Coach, Business Coach and many more. Clear
Intentions is an international people
development company. Our mission is to lead
and launch people and organizations from all
over the world to manifest their goals,
dreams and visions. We do this through
coaching plus NET, assessments, training and
public speaking.
Our coaching plus NET feature assists people
with gaining greater clarity and creating
greater joy and satisfaction in any area of
their lives. We have developed this unique
coaching formula which combines a deep
emotional alignment (both on the conscious
and not so conscious levels) technique called
Neuro Emotional Technique with traditional
professional coaching practices, such as
appreciate inquiry, listening, forwarding and
deepening the action, challenging your
assumptions and beliefs, strategic planning
and championing. The results are amazing and
often happen fast.
Who Benefits From Coaching?
Anyone can benefit from coaching! The most
common reason people or companies hire a
coach is the desire to grow productively - a
desire often sparked by crisis. Most clients
find they pursue their goals more
successfully working with a coach. Clear
Intentions can help you become more effective
and support you in reaching your goals by
identifying and clearing issues,
circumstances and patterns of belief and
behavior that hold you back. This ongoing
process creates a powerful momentum, one that
ripples through all aspects of your
professional and personal life.
Coaching can help you to:
-
Manifest your personal and professional
visions, goals, or dreams
-
Clarify your goals & create a step-by-step plan
-
Set priorities and maintain them
-
Effectively organize your day-to-day activities
-
Learn how to make sound decisions
-
Quickly remove energy drains and re-energize
yourself on a consistent basis
-
Learn how to motivate your employees
-
Provide clarity, focus and leadership for
growth and/or transition
-
Replace outdated behaviors with effective actions
What Happens When You Work with a Coach?
Coaching is proven to work when two factors
are present: a person or company is willing
to grow, and a person or company experiences
a gap between where they are now and where
they want to be.
This is necessary for you and your coach to
solve problems, create a plan of action,
double sales, become more profitable, and set
you on a career path (or whatever is called
for) to ensure you have more of what you
want, and less of what you don't. Finding out
what you want for yourself and/or your
business is our first task together. I help
you distinguish between what you think you
have to do and what you actually need to do
to accomplish it. The first and most critical
step is helping you define what you want for
yourself. Once you create the ideal goal, we
will set a clear intention and a course of
action to reach it.
When you have a partner you can trust, you
will always reach for more because you can
afford it. Just talking about your options
with someone who knows how to listen is often
enough to become very clear.
Coaching Techniques
Coaching for individuals consists of
one-on-one confidential coaching sessions,
conducted either in person or on the phone.
Most coaching sessions last approximately 60
minutes each. Typically, the coaching
relationship begins with a three to six month
commitment of two or three sessions per
month. Fees include the coaching materials
and other information given to you at the
start of the coaching relationship, and as
you make progress towards the goals you've
identified. When needed, you will also
receive additional support (besides coaching
sessions) through faxes, e-mails, and phone
calls.
ROI of Coaching
Coaching has emerged in recent years as a
popular-and powerful-way to develop
leadership skills. ROI studies conducted by
MetrixGlobal, LLC, over the past four years
clearly demonstrate that leadership coaching
consistently delivers business value. The
ROIs have generally been in the range of 500%
to 700%. This being said, what have we really
learned about how coaching delivers value?
There are four key insights that we have
drawn from the data:
-
Clients become more focused and create the
space to make change
-
Clients build stronger partnerships or
strengthening peer relationships through more
effective collaboration
-
Clients create alignment between intentions
and actions. With the help of the coach, they
align who they are with what they do.
-
Clients take bolder and more original action
to make positive change in their organizations.
The Top 8 Reasons Why Entrepreneurs Hire A
Coach!
Entrepreneurs and small business owners
hire coaches for many reasons, but there are
eight which typify the intentions most often
expressed.
-
To increase the entrepreneur's ability to
leverage his/her time and stay focused.
-
To expand upon, clarify, and clearly put into
words the entrepreneur's vision for the company.
-
To improve the entrepreneur's presentation.
-
To foster discussions of the entrepreneur's
ideas that are still in the incubation stage.
-
To get an objective opinion from someone who
has no vested interest in the outcome of the
situation.
-
To have a secure, safe, and confidential
outlet for venting, when necessary.
-
To point out what the entrepreneur can't,
won't, or doesn't want to see.
-
To find a better way to reduce stress,
increase effectiveness, and have a balanced
life.
