Episode 91: Business Coaching - Shimon Lazarov

Shimon Lazarov the CEO of LiveCoach is here today to talk about you as a person. I focus on sales and spend a lot of time focused on the ins and outs of the sales process, but the person behind the sales matters too. Shimon is here to shed some light on coaching and the importance of having a coach. Coaching can increase productivity, success, and life satisfaction. Ongoing coaching is usually more useful than a one-time coaching session. Finding and connecting with the right coach for you isn't that easy. Shimon created LiveCoach to connect coaches and clients through an easy to use online platform. Episode Highlights: Business coaching versus life coaching. People work with coaches to accomplish something that they don't know how to do or to be held accountable, so that they follow through or to aspire to new horizons. People usually prefer a coach over a peer to help them be held accountable. Some people only need specific help for one thing. Other people want accountability or they want their life to be better. There is a link between something in life bothering people and their work success and productivity. Personal and professional success are interrelated. How coaches have neutral objectivity and your best interest in mind. The more neutral a coach is the better and more effective that coach will be. The LiveCoach platform can help you find a coach by describing your situation or you can be matched through their algorithms. You can talk to several coaches for free to help find the best coach fit for you. When you start talking to people, you will be surprised by the amount of insights that you will get. Shimon suggests talking to as many coaches as you can. Many coaches do a questionnaire or a review as prep work. Some part of the initial work will be reflection about what you want to achieve and gaining clarity. Resources: LiveCoach Shimon Lazarov
