COMBINING WAYS TO BOOST INSPIRATION

COACHING

We have found coaching provides this inspiration power punch by combining all three ways to boost social support, accountability, and positive rituals. Having a partner to hold you accountable for deadlines, set challenges, and stay true to the inspiration that drives you can be helpful for sustaining it over time. Companies now frequently invest in coaching as a way to help develop or accelerate the development of employee performance. In fact, between 25 and 40 percent of Fortune 500 companies hire executive coaches.10 Part of that coaching process often involves discovering or clarifying what inspires the coachee at work. Most people are doing work that inspires them in some way or another, and coaches help them fan the flames of inspiration, set meaningful goals, and design positive practices—or rituals—that support their growth. A big part of the coaching process is helping employees get or stay connected to what matters most to them, rising above the day-to-day tedium. Research in coaching shows benefits like increased performance, especially related to goal achievement, and better work-related attitudes, well-being, and coping skills.11 Our coaching clients and interviewees frequently mention inspiration—either resparking or sustaining—as being a key outcome of coaching.

If you are looking for a way to boost your inspiration, coaching is worth exploring. If your company or organization does not typically offer it, try looking for other opportunities like asking a mentor or friend for some coaching or participating in a peer-coaching group. For example, one client of ours mentioned starting a peer-coaching group over fifteen years ago that continues to meet biweekly via video conference for conversations. She said it has been a driving force in her life and career. Remember, it is critical to first inspire yourself if you are looking to inspire others.
