Top 10 Myths About Coaching

‍

A Law Enforcement Performance Coach is someone who helps you improve your career, break free from restrictions, and achieve a fulfilling life. You may be reluctant to seek out a coach because of what you’ve heard or assumed. But rumors and assumptions shouldn’t get in the way of one of the best decisions you can make.

‍

Here are the top ten myths about Law Enforcement Performance coaching to help you distinguish fact from fiction.

1) They Reach Your Goals for You:

‍

‍Coaches help you achieve your goals. They provide a guide, but they won’t do the work for you.

‍

‍2) Coaching is Just a Precinct Perk:

‍

‍If your precinct provides performance coaching, that’s more than a perk. Executed properly, it can drive satisfaction in every aspect of life.‍

‍

3) Coaching Only Works on Your Personal Goals:

‍

‍Whether you have personal or professional goals, a coach can help. An effective Law Enforcement Performance Coach aids you in focusing on positive change, which can help you improve all aspects of your life.‍

‍

4) It’s for Problem Officers:

‍

‍Coaching isn’t meant for people who are underperforming. Good coaching can help you improve on your strengths, identify greater goals, and lead a satisfying life.‍

‍

5) It Takes Too Much Time:

‍

Coaching takes as long as you want it to. Eventually, you may only spend an hour with a Law Enforcement Performance Coach every month and still achieve results.‍

‍

6) It’s No Different Than Having a Friend:

‍

‍Your coach is more than a friend. They’re your advocate. Not all friends will push and motivate you or hold you accountable. Your coach will, they have been in your shoes.‍

‍

7) Coaching is Only Good for Upper Ranks:

‍

‍It’s not. Everyone needs work in some areas of their life. If you feel like you need improvement in how to deal with people or how to manage your life, a coach can help.‍

‍

8) Coaches Just Tell Their Clients What to Do:

‍

‍A good coach won’t give you instructions and call it a day. Rather, s/he will help you explore your options and talk to you about the options that are best for you, based on what you want to achieve in the future.‍

‍

9) Getting a Coach is Expensive:

‍

‍Getting the help you need to achieve the future you want can be affordable. When it is rolled out within a precinct, it is no cost to you personally. ‍

‍

10) It’s Too Metaphysical for Me:

‍

‍Many coaches use practical and professional approaches. The trick is to find one that suits your needs.
