The figure of the coach as an agent of change in the 21st Century
The pandemic has served as a vehicle for learning towards the goal of creating a better world.
The year 2020 has marked a before and after in history..
We have incorporated words like uncertainty and resilience into our daily lives, we have become accustomed to living without hugs, to working without stepping foot in the office or sharing special moments with a screen in between. And all this in less than twelve months.
For a society in which social contact, stability and customs were among its traditional pillars, the situation we are going through is a break that is difficult to forget and, in some cases, also difficult to overcome.
As much as we would like it to be, nothing will ever be the same again. As a result, stress, frustration, apathy and discouragement have become part of our routine.. But also learnings such as the importance of values and principles such as solidarity, human warmth, civility or freedom.
The important work of the coach as an agent of change
We are aware that we are in a time of change and transformation: Why not seize the opportunity to, together, build a better world?
There are many companies, organizations and individuals who want to contribute to this, but do not know where to start. Helping them to take on this new challenge and make it a success is one of the greatest satisfactions for a coach. The pandemic has served as a vehicle for them to reflect and commit to change.
During this time, whether at the corporate or individual level, they have realized that they were lost and not moving in the desired direction, that their shortcomings outweighed their motivations, and that their disconnection with their values was absolute.
They know that in order to transform the world they have to start with themselves and that the figure of the professional coach is essential to achieve this.
A coaching process will not only allow them to reach a full self-knowledge, but also to bring out their maximum potential; all this in order to achieve their goals and reach what they want.
In addition, it will provide them with a series of powerful tools that, in case of repeating events similar to the current one (one of the main fears today), will allow them to manage the situation by themselves with calm and good results.
And although a priori it may seem impossible to carry it out without physical presence and through virtual communication, it is more than feasible. In fact, this trend towards online this online trend favors the work of the coach..
Be part of the transformation of the world
In the digital era, a computer connected to the Internet allows us to travel, without leaving home and in a matter of seconds, to any corner of the planet; to be thousands of kilometers away from home and be able to feel close to family or trade with remote countries in just a couple of clicks.
The changes in lifestyle habits that have been implemented in recent years have accelerated in these months.
So, this allows the coach to help millions of peoplecompanies or organizations around the world, either from the sofa at home or from the sun lounger on a paradisiacal beach.
The great demand, both from institutions and individuals, for coaching processes (even more so since last year) and the labor facilities to exercise it place the coaching profession among the best of the XXI century. Not to say the best.
And there is no profession that generates greater satisfaction. Not in vain, the coach puts all his passion to contribute to leave a beautiful footprint for present and future generations..
