Every day, a professional coach takes one small step towards achieving his or her big dreams. But not only the professional coach, but also his client.<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Seven o'clock in the morning. Zsuzsa is already on her second cup of coffee as she flips through her calendar. She has been working for over ten years a professional coach<\/strong> yet every morning he follows the same ritual: he takes one small step towards his own development that day. Today he tries a new coaching technique, tomorrow he will practice what he learned yesterday. As he told me during a conversation we had together, \"You know, people think we coaches are ready. But the reality is that we are probably the greatest learners in the world. We improve every day, because that's the only way to help others improve.<\/strong>\u201e<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This story perfectly illustrates the phenomenon that is happening in the coaching world today. According to a Harvard Business Review 2024 study, the modern workplace requires leaders to abandon the command-and-control style and adopt a model based on the concept of leader-as-coach. But this change is not only happening in organisations - a professional coach<\/strong> applies the same principle in his own life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Compared to our previous articles, however, we do not approach the topic from the client's point of view, but from the coach's, the professional coach's point of view. Of course, we will not leave out the client aspetus either, but this time we will do it in a more unusual way, hoping that the dear reader will not mind. This is one aspect for now, but at the end of the day, as always, we do what we do for the client's development and the client's small steps, even or perhaps especially when we are developing ourselves and taking steps to achieve our dreams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why does a professional coach take a step forward every day?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

One of the biggest paradoxes of the coaching profession is that while a professional coach<\/strong> constantly helping others achieve their goals, while building their own dreams in the same systematic way. The answer is simple: credibility. As one of our experienced colleagues put it: \"How can I inspire others to work towards their goals on a daily basis if I don't do the same myself?\"<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The power of consistency<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Based on CoachLab's experience, we see that a professional coach<\/strong> everyday development is a necessity. Research from Leadership Coaching 2024 shows that leaders are still trying to figure out how to adapt to post-pandemic employee attitudes. In this dynamically changing environment a professional coach<\/strong> can only remain relevant if you are constantly learning and developing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The importance of small steps every day is not just about personal development. According to research by ICF 2024, an international coaching organisation, coaches who regularly invest in their own development are 67% more likely to achieve their clients' goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How does a professional coach apply the principle of daily development?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. The SMART target at personal level<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A professional coach<\/strong> knows that the SMART (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) objective works not only for customers. It is also the model he uses in his own development plans:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
