You’re a successful high-flying achiever, accustomed to a fast pace and being on top of things. But lately, you’ve been stuck at a plateau. In a rut. Unfocused. Overwhelmed.

Stuck and Spinning Your Wheels

Do you ever find yourself at your desk with the day's sixth cup of coffee and a feeling of dread and desperation filling your chest? You've got loads of talent, accomplishments and brainpower and, yet, you have an aching sense that you're not making the most of them.

See if you recognize youreslf in one of these scenarios:

• Your stellar work performance has brought rapid promotions but now you feel in over your head and are afraid you won’t live up to people's expectations.
  
  
• You're an ambitious entrepreneur with a successful, fast-growing business but you're feeling overwhelmed and drained by the myriad of demands.
  
  
• You've started a high-powered job at a top law firm or hedge fund and are under extreme pressure to deliver results but you’re sabotaging yourself with self-doubt and can’t seem to perform at your best.

Get In the Flow

The great martial artist Bruce Lee said: "If you always put limits on everything you do, physical or anything else, it will spread into your work and into your life. There are no limits. There are only plateaus, and you must not stay there, you must go beyond them."

Yes, even Bruce "Dragon" Lee, had plateaus, days when he didn't feel like spending hours striking wood with his bare, callused hands; moments of uncertainty and frustration. But he refused to be limited by them.

Pushing beyond your limits boils down to desire, focus and perseverance. What limits are you creating for yourself? Wouldn’t you like to break through and see what you're really capable of – to be blasting away at full steam, not dragging along on empty?

But how to do that? You've bought the self-help books with the tantalizing promise of a 'new you,' attended the personal development workshops and leadership training seminars. You get caught up in the thrill of change but, a few weeks later, reality has intervened, your good intentions have lost their urgency and you're back treading water.

What has been shown to have lasting results, however, is one-on-one coaching. In fact, research from Case Western Reserve University's Weatherhead School of Management shows that - unlike the benefits of seminar-like schooling which vanish within months - the impact of coaching can last seven years.

Professional athletes and musicians have long understood the power of coaching. They place considerable reliance on their coaches to help them stay motivated and focused, and to push them past their limits to greater heights.

Andre Agassi, for example, credits much of his success in winning six of his Grand Slam singles titles to coach Brad Gilbert. Tenor Luciano Pavarotti had an acting coach, a voice coach, a music coach, a language coach and a fitness coach. Personal coaching took him from being a singer with promise to legendary operatic status.
