A good business coach always gets the best out of his clients<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

Just last Tuesday, a new client sat down with us, his eyes reflecting first sceptical fatigue, then growing enthusiasm. Peter<\/strong> - let's call him that - was a mid-market business leader who had struggled for years to motivate his team and achieve growth targets. But after three months, he left us a completely different person: confident, with a clear vision and a team that was finally pulling in the same direction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This story illustrates it perfectly, what it means when a good business coach really brings out the best in his or her clients<\/strong>. But what makes the coaches who don't just talk the talk, but make a real difference?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What makes a good business coach different from the rest?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The world of coaching is now a crowded one, with many people trying their luck as coaches in Hungary and abroad. But not all of them are able to achieve lasting results. A good <\/strong>business coach with not only theoretical knowledge<\/a> but also with practical experience<\/strong> is, acquired over decades in management and business environments<\/strong>.
<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, I know that many people say that a coach does not necessarily need to understand the field or specialism in which his client is moving. And that is true, but the emphasis is on not necessarily, in our opinion, which is because it seems that a coach who has worked and is experienced in sales management can help a sales manager, for example, much more effectively.

The importance of experience and expertise<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Why is this important?<\/strong> Because a good business coach not only understands the problems in theory, but has experienced them first hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Coaching is not about telling people what to do. It's about helping them discover what they can do.\"<\/em> - John Whitmore<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

How can the effectiveness of coaching be measured?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

International research clearly shows the positive effects of coaching. A Harvard Business Review study found that coaching increased individual productivity by 22%, while FMI reported that 87% of respondents agreed that executive coaching provides a high return on investment (ROI).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What methods does an effective business coach use?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. SMART objectives and clear strategy<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A good business coach<\/strong> always SMART<\/strong> (Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, Time-bound) goals with your customers. This is not just a methodological requirement, it is the basis for success. It is not always efficient and it is not always appropriate for the client. E.g.: Many managers - especially from an international background - are up against a wall, they can't stand it as much as they use it in their daily business life. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Practical example with an anonymous customer:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n

We were approached by the head of a 50-person IT company to \"improve the efficiency of the team\". In three weeks, we set specific, measurable goals: a 15% increase in project completion rate, a 20% reduction in lead times, and the introduction of monthly team-building meetings. Six months later, all three targets had been exceeded, simplified and, among other things, because they were constantly monitored and kept in focus.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

2. Using the STAR method<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A STAR<\/strong> (Situation, Task, Action, Result) model, the coach and the client analyse past successes and failures together to draw lessons from them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. A personalised approach<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n
