Coaching Benefits.

Why would you need a coach?

Simply because it’s so much easier and faster to build from someone else’s experience

Thomas Edison once said:
“I grew tall because I stood on the shoulders of giants.”

Before searching for a coach, a photographer must be willing to make changes and must have a goal in mind. Ready to evaluate the actual situation and want to make the future better for himself or herself.

5 ways in which a Coach can help you

Acquire the means for a more enjoyable life:

We all need money with which to get the good things in life: a good home, family, children’s education, holidays etc. Coaching is a great way to increase your business’s growth, create more profitable work and plan for the future. No one is expected to know it all.
Improve your decision making process:

No one else can make a decision in your stead, however, having a sounding board where you can discuss your thoughts before making a decision can save you dollars and aggravation. You become more focused. You can rely on someone you trust. You develop the skills to become better and better at analyzing business proposals and projects.
Help you become an action taker:

One of the first things we do in a coaching relationship is focus on exactly what you would really like to do. Where do you see your business in the future? Once we know this information, it is a lot easier to take the appropriate actions to achieve your goals.
Give you more energy:

Once you become more focused and better organized, productivity increases greatly. Since time management is the number One problem with professional photographers, you will feel in control of your every day.
Reach a balance in your life:

We are caught up in a daily routine that really takes its toll on our personal lives. How can anyone feel secure when we work long hours? How can anyone have a great family life after this? Finding the sore points and ways to design your own life as you want it to be is a great benefit. We’ve all heard of goal setting; coaching is a very good way to reach your goals.

Andre, this is incredible. It’s only been 9 days since you left my studio and the results are amazing. I feel my work is worth a lot more. I can translate that level of confidence to my clients therefore I have more than double in some cases tripled my sales averages in all categories.I never thought this to be possible. Also, my faithful team members are so motivated. That’s an added bonus on your coaching. Thank you so much.

I will talk to you next week for my weekly follow up.

No one has money to throw away, in order to benefit most from any kind of coaching session, it is important that you answer these 7 questions:

What do I need most during the whole coaching process?
Am I facing an opportunity, an event, or a problem?
What do I expect from my coach today?
Which topic is most important today?
Have I sent my coach the questions I want answered during this telephone call?
Do I have all the necessary paper work in front of me?
After the telephone conversation, am I willing to make a commitment to, at least try, what was suggested?

How does this coaching service work?

Consultations are done over the internet (www.skype.com), by telephone or one on one in your studio. They are 1 hour, half day or full days.

Coaching on the Internet:

Session over the net normally last 1 hour during which time we work on specific questions or projects you have sent to Andre beforehand. Following our discussion, a plan of action is developed and this constitutes your template until the next call.

During the month following the session, you have access to Andre through emails to edit copy, look over your ideas or answer questions relating to the previous session. The number of emails is flexible and Andre reserves the right to respond and this is often according to your commitment.
All this for the price of 1 session. A good deal.
