How Behavior Coaching Can Improve Your Work-Life Balance
Feeling stressed at a new job?
Want to advance your career faster?
Consider individual behavior coaching!
A Board Certified Behavior Analyst (BCBA) can coach you in many areas of life, and achieving career goals is one of them.
Using the principles of behavior to aid your workplace development can alleviate unnecessary anxiety and put you ahead of the competition.
Behavior coaching is based on the principle that human behavior is learned and uses a focused, goal-oriented approach. Despite overlapping characteristics, behavior coaching is not therapy or counseling. Those who invest in a coach are generally looking for a very specific outcome, such as better performance at work. Your progress with a coach can be measured and analyzed.
Your coach will work with you to reshape thoughts, nurture positive emotions, and help you understand why you engage in certain behaviors in order to change them.
Maybe you’re trying to improve on:
Preparedness
ADHD Management
Communication & Working With Others
Time/Project Management
Setting & Following Boundaries
All of these and more can be revamped with the right coach by your side.
You might be aware of specific behaviors that need attention, but there are likely other unconscious (or conscious) habits you’re unaware of that are giving you negative outcomes.
Figuring everything out alone while holding down a job can be challenging. This is why investing in a professional makes developing a plan and executing it much easier.
Improving Work-Life Balance
If you seek out and participate in behavior coaching to enhance your career growth and performance, that is considered self-care.
When you make a genuine effort to care for yourself, your life improves. Behavior coaching clients often report learning more about themselves and using that information to improve multiple aspects of their life.
People who’re experiencing high levels of work-related stress often carry it home. That can cause trouble in personal relationships, impact your sleep schedule, and even degrade your overall health.
The CDC defines job stress as “harmful physical and emotional responses that occur when the requirements of the job do not match the capabilities, resources, or needs of the worker,” and also states “job stress can lead to poor health and even injury.”
A behavior coach can’t change your boss’s management style or your co-worker's distracting actions, but they can help you respond better, decreasing the tension.
The skills and techniques you learn with your coach will stay with you throughout the rest of your career.
How Does it Work?
After you find the right coach, they will develop a plan of action that fits your needs and behavior goals. Our clients receive a complimentary meet and greet to ensure we’re the right fit!
Through ongoing sessions, you’ll learn valuable tools, practice with your coach, and apply what you learn at work.
If you’ve ever tried to break a habit or start a new one on your own, you know it takes time and perseverance. Your coach will be with you every step of the way providing expert guidance, encouragement, and alternate solutions if roadblocks occur.
