Coaching, an Investment in Oneself

There are many processes one can go through to become better as a person and in what they do. Coaching is just one of them – a space for reflection, self-discovery, and finding one’s own answers and paths towards who they want to become and what they want to achieve. So why should you do coaching?

The world today is constantly moving at a pace that keeps getting faster and faster. To not be left behind, we must keep up with that pace. However, this often leads to more and more doing, and less and less time for reflection, stillness, thinking through, and processing all our actions and behaviours along with their side effects.

“Why would the latter matter?”, one may ask. Because it is what allows us to actually keep up with the pace of the world. In order to become faster, time has to be spent on understanding which processes can be improved, removed, or automated from the ones we use to do what we do. Not everything we do has meaning or purpose. Not everything we do brings value and benefits us and the world. By spending time on doing what is not beneficial to us and the world, we actually fall behind in the world’s race.

Time is a resource that we either use or lose. Investing time in what matters is what coaching helps one with. Clarity of thought and purposeful actions are some of the main results it leads to, and these two results are key ingredients to increased speed and efficiency in a world where time feels to be more and more scarce.
