Why Coaching?
According to Forbes, the Institute of Coaching cites that over 70% of individuals who receive coaching benefited from improved work performance, relationships and more effective communication skills. They also reported that a huge 86% of companies feel that they recouped the investment they made into coaching plus more on top!
Business, Leadership & Executive coaching helps in a number of ways. Here are a few of our favorites:
Self Awareness - As Les Brown famously said, “it is hard to see the picture when you’re in the frame”! Aligning with the right coach gives you an objective and clear perspective regarding the reality of your current strengths, habits and situation. In order to affect change, having this firm grasp on reality is a MUST!
Accountability - "If you can't stand the heat, you'd better get out of the kitchen." That was Harry Truman’s perspective! The greater the role that you play in your company or business the greater the responsibility. Having the right coach by your side ensures that you remain accountable to focus your energy on the right things, not everything!
Leverage Your Strengths - A foolish person attempts to grow in their areas of weakness. where as a wise person doubles down in their areas of strength! This process is most effective when navigated in tandem with the right coach, first to identify the true strengths and then second to delegate the rest!
Grow Your Leadership - My personal mentor and coach John C. Maxwell told me years ago that “Change is inevitable. Growth is optional.” Nothing great is accomplished alone and growth never happens inside of a comfort zone! Your personal and professional growth as a leader and business person is always in direct proportion to your income! Having the right coach in your corner ensures that you are always growing in this area!
Are You Coachable?
No matter how good a coach is if the client isn’t an active, willing, and enthusiastic participant in the process nothing will change.
What does being coachable mean?
Checking your Ego at the door.
Being open-minded. Open to new ideas and new ways of thinking.
Being willing to receive constructive feedback without taking it personally.
Possessing a high level of self-awareness.
Choosing an action-oriented mindset.
Accepting full accountability for the good and the bad.
What People Are Saying
“I have had the privilege of having Ben coach me for five years. I would not be where I am today without having him pour into me while listening to my struggles, growth pains and challenges in business. Ben would rarely tell me what I needed to do, he just dug deep with questions and would cause me to really think about the future and what it really was that I was trying to accomplish. Throughout this process we became close friends and the coaching still to this day doesn't stop. I would recommend that anyone that wants to grow their business, become a better human, or just wants personal growth hire Ben Fairfield right away! Get ready and hold on because your life will be changed!”
— Greg Link Jr., Real Estate Agent & Owner of Link Properties Group
“Ben has been a great asset in the development and success of my business. It’s nice to be advised and coached by someone who not only talks the talk but walks the walk. His practical approaches have helped me with my leadership, lead generation, time managment, talent acquisition / retention and most importantly helping to adjust my mindset to become the person I need to be.”
— Jason Walker, Real Estate Agent & Owner of The Jason Walker Team
“Coaching with Ben helped take my business from a solo agent doing $10MM in volume per year to a fully built out team of specialists that closed over $40MM last year! Without Ben's help structuring my business on the front end I would have never been able to build such a great business. More than the financial success, I appreciate the time I get to have with my family now that I never had as a solo agent.”
— John Thomas Sinclair, Real Estate Agent & Owner or The Broker Sinclair Team
“I have had the pleasure of coaching with Ben Fairfield and it was an amazing experience. He is always full of energy and has a good sense of humor which makes learning/coaching fun. Ben is an inspiring coach & leader who always has a positive mindset. He’s an expert in helping others take steps to create positive changes in their life. Ben challenges you to get uncomfortable so you grow, and he helps set & accomplish your goals with you. He reinforces with you that you can have excuses or results, but you can’t have both. If I know Ben is speaking at an event, I do my best to attend because I know I will walk away with more knowledge and ideas to implement into my business..”
— Melissa Garland, Real Estate Agent - FRI, SFR, CNE, RSPS
"Ben was a favorite teacher and trainer for me in real estate long before he was a personal business coach. When the opportunity came to coach with Ben, it was a huge advantage based on the familiarity we had with each other. Ben, however, does not throw softballs. He hits you hard and follows through on those areas of your business, which you've told him that you're weak in. And if he is given permission to go deep, he will! Ben brings laser-focused value to every coaching conversation and today I am successful in the top 10% of my field, largely due to Ben Faifield."
— John Partridge, Real Estate Agent
“Ben Fairfield is amazing! He has coached me in mindset, action items and difficult transactions. He has never let me down, not once. I am not the easiest to coach; he understands my personality and how to talk to me so it sinks in. He is a John Maxwell graduate, has been a big producer and team leader; it shows. I can't think of anything he can't help me with. My business is better; I am better because of his guidance. I am so grateful to him and all he's done for me!.”
— Debra Browning, Real Estate Agent
