ABSTRACT

Coaching helps at every current level of performance, but for the seriously ambitious, who wish to become outstanding, there is a special fillip. Coaching is especially relevant at the top end of performance because not only does it impact outcomes but it also becomes a form of marketing in itself. One coaching technique that can help the client establish what is their real vision is by using the Motivational Map, for there needs to be an energetic alignment with the Map profile and the future vision. The coach must also ensure there is an emotional – motivational – alignment between the vision and goals and the person's real feelings. The truth is a vision is too big a thing to achieve in one step or one move or one manoeuvre; it requires breaking down into specific goals, and these goals need addressing through specific actions.
