Business Performance Coaching: What It Is, How It Works, and Why It Matters

What is business performance coaching?

Some business leaders and executives seek coaching simply to sharpen the saw — to refine a skill, strengthen a habit, or stay at the top of their game. But every leader eventually hits moments that aren’t as straightforward. A challenge shows up that doesn’t respond to what they already know, and the usual playbook starts to feel thin. In those times, a coach becomes less of a tune-up and more of a guide, helping the leader figure out how to move around, over, under, or straight through whatever’s in the way, and come out stronger on the other side.

However, there are other times when a business leader or team member finds themselves at critical crossroads in their work life. Maybe there’s a promotion you want to get, but you’re not sure how to accomplish it. Perhaps the job you’re in isn’t fulfilling anymore, and you’re wondering how to shift gears. Some people even get years into a career and realize it’s not at all what they want to spend their time on anymore. 

Business performance coaching can also help you navigate these transition moments and help you identify your goals. We begin with helping you reflect in order to help you grow, and from there, it’s all about identifying and aligning your actions with your goals. 

Studies have shown that coaching can have more impact on behavioral change than attendance-based training courses. At ReWorkMe, we combine proven business tools with a clear understanding of how people actually think and behave. This approach enables us to identify workable solutions for business leaders. Lasting transformation can come for folks who engage with business performance coaching to align their actions with their core values.

Benefits of business performance coaching

Job changes, career transitions, and even just improving your performance at work can all feel like insurmountable obstacles. A business performance coach can help in a number of ways:

  1. Provide a clear pathway: A coach can help you navigate towards a more profitable and fulfilling future. 

  2. Get clear on your goals: Learn what’s important to you and how you can achieve it

  3. Improve your leadership skills: Connect with your team and map your goals more effectively through better communication and clarity.

  4. Reduce stress: Coaches can teach you strategies for managing your time, resources, and energy.

  5. Identify behavioral patterns: Understand how you function at the behavioral level so you can leverage your own patterns into your desired outcome.

How does performance coaching work?

Coaches meet with clients at intervals that they determine together. You might meet in person for a complimentary 15-minute consultation or remotely by phone or a Zoom call. ReWorkMe always begins a coaching relationship with a free 15-minute consultation to lay the groundwork for a fruitful coaching relationship and identify the best approach to begin with. You’ll meet with your coach after that for 90 minutes, and the pace and duration are ultimately up to you. Many of the topics we cover in our sessions are available in this downloadable topic list.

Measuring success and results

Your coach will work with you to uncover practical interventions designed to address the problems or issues you identify together. Following coaching, clients often report greater self-awareness, a clearer understanding of their priorities, better communication, and renewed motivation. Many say that they have lower stress levels, greater leadership presence, and understand how to take practical steps for lasting change.

It’s pretty common to spend 40 or more hours a week at work for 40 or more years. That’s a lot of our life that goes to the business of earning an income, so why not do whatever you can to make that time enjoyable, fulfilling, and something you can truly be proud of?
