 Selecting a Qualified Coach...

Contact Jean to set up a complimentary  30 minute coaching consultation

A qualified coach has a unique set of skills. To achieve results, it is important to select a competent coach. Is the coach professionally trained? Does she/he fit your personality? Before hiring a coach, interview two or three coaches and ask:

  • Amount and type of their coach training
  • Length of time they have been coaching professionally
  • Types of clients with whom they work
  • Areas of specialization
  • Coaching style

These questions help you select a coach who is both qualified and a good fit for you. Many coaches offer complimentary introductory telephone consultation to help you determine if coaching is right for you and if she/he is a good match for you.

What are the Benefits of a Personal or Business Coach or participating in a coaching group?

Business Women who are Managers, Leaders, Engineers, IT Professionals, Accountants

A new world is emerging but we retain our male-inspired, male dominated hierarchies according to Tom Peters in his book Re-imagine! He goes on to say we recognize their (women's) rights but ignore their strengths. Yes, the business world remains a challenging work environment for women. Take heart, the culture is changing but at all too slow a pace.

"Tomorrow belongs to women" according to author Helen Fisher, and until tomorrow is here it is up to each individual woman to have the skills to play in the sandbox of today's organization… while being an instrument of change for the workplace of the next decade. To be successful and fulfilled in the sometimes jungle like environment of business, a woman must:

  • Possess self-confidence and believe in herself,
  • Use direct, and powerful language,
  • Bounce back and not take things personally,

Benefits of your own Coaching for Managers and Executive Women: Women are well suited for  leadership in the culture of the emerging organizations. In the meantime, working with coach can provide many benefits.

  • Nurture and develop leadership and management skills of early managers
  • Make a career change
  • Develop and strengthen skills for presenting to groups
  • Learn to use powerful language to make an impact and be heard
  • Shatter the limiting beliefs and negative little voice in your head that hold you back.
  • Take bigger risks - no more low goals and safe plans
  • Support successful people to achieve even greater success
  • Improve your self-confidence; survive, and thrive in the corporate world
  • Interview with confidence for that promotion or new position
  • Enhance leadership skills for seasoned executives
  • Eliminate thoughts about the "fraud factor"
  • Recognize your value and get paid what you are worth-not $0.77 for every $1.00 your male colleagues earn
  • Make more money, keep more money, and achieve financial security... the secret to true empowerment

Take ownership of your career! Contact Jean@JeanCaton.com  for a complimentary telephone consultation.

"Knowledge is the antidote to fear. "Ralph Waldo Emerson

Women in Health Care, RD's, RN's

Helping others is the motivation for many women who choose a career in health care. The helping profession can be a high stress, high burn out career. Setting boundaries, being assertive, saying "no" with ease, and attention to self-care are just a few of the challenges healthcare providers often face. Additionally, many women in healthcare are unprepared for the roles in management, leadership, personnel issues, and negotiation that are required for career advancement. Working with a coach offers support to the individual and enhances career success and satisfaction.

Benefits of your own Personal Coach for Women in Healthcare: A personal coach is a trusted, objective partner who will support, guide, advise, develop, and add perspective as you navigate your career challenges or explore new opportunities. Coaching benefits:

  • How not to allow your vocation in healthcare be a detriment to your health and wealth
  • Enhance leadership skills of department heads
  • Reduce turnover by reducing employee stress
  • Nurture and develop management and business skills of health care providers
  • Learn to use powerful language that makes an impact and commands respect.
  • Shatter the limiting beliefs and negative self-talk that hold you back.
  • Learn how to market yourself to get recognition and reward for your professional contributions

Women, Money, and Finance

Building a secure financial future is less about how much money you earn and more about what you do with your money. There is a serious lack of education about money management. Out of control spending and lack of savings, creates a staggering amount of debt in many households and a cycle of stress from overwork. Families are overwhelmed, stressed, worried, and working away their lives chasing money and the status and prestige they perceive it buys for them. How much income do you deserve to earn? How much income do you want to earn? How much income does your family need to meet the goals for your family's lifestyle and education for your kids? How well do you wish to live in retirement? Determine your money personality and make today the day you take the first step toward a more secure financial future for you and your family.

Money makes a big difference in how people feel about themselves. A financially secure woman is an empowered woman who is able to live by choice and not driven by financial need.

Six Steps toward Financial Freedom:
1) Earn what you are worth
2) Spend wisely
3) Manage your Debt
4) Create an emergency fund
5) Protect you and your assets
6) Invest for your future

"If your ship doesn't come in swim out to meet it" Jonathan Winters
