Cheryl Binda Biography

Coaching


 

 Coaching is a way to support and guide a person to develop new skills, solve a problem, or reach a goal.  Training workshops can begin to develop skills but coaching takes it to the next level by providing consistent feedback.  This type of feedback can be provided by one’s manager but often managers are overwhelmed, overloaded, or don’t have the skills to do much coaching.  Intensive and focused feedback offered from an expert outside of the organization usually gets better results in a shorter period of time.

 The Coaching Process

Cheryl Binda helps individuals assess their strengths and areas needing improvement.  Coaching is conducted with confidentiality, either on- or off-site.  The focus is on assessment, awareness, personal growth, and problem solving in a collaborative environment.  The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) is an especially effective tool in coaching situations.  Typically, the personal coaching process involves four steps: 

  1. Identification of the problem or challenge
  2. Development of strategies
  3. Feedback
  4. Action planning

Ensuring Coaching Success

The coaching process works best when:
  • There are specific, measurable goals
  • There is a commitment or desire to improve
  • There is trust among all the parties involved (the coach, the person being coached, and the organization/department in which the person works)
  • There is agreement on what will constitute a successful outcome
"I never cease to be amazed at the power of the coaching process to draw out the skills or talent that was previously hidden within an individual, and which invariably finds a way to solve a problem previously thought unsolvable."

-John Russell, Managing Director, Harley-Davidson Europe Ltd.
