Coaching Survey Results

If you have experienced coaching, what’s the best part about it?

New Perspective (36%)

You would be amazed how looking at the same problem in a new light can change everything. Coaching doesn’t change your circumstances, but it changes your outlook and hope of the situation. All of a sudden you feel more confident, more in control and more motivated!

More motivation/effort on my part (24%)

Coaching is about YOU doing more. You become more motivated because it’s my job to understand what it is you want and show you how to get it. If you knew the solutions to your problems, wouldn’t you be more motivated?!

Increased Confidence (20%)

Confidence comes from knowing what you do best and doing more of it. Identifying and maximizing your strengths is my main focus when I coach people. Why spend time contemplating your weaknesses? Did you know you have the greatest room for growth in the areas of your strengths? More confidence makes you feel you can conquer the world!

Accomplishing More (20%)

In coaching you reach your goals FASTER. It’s that simple. It is not restricted to one area, it’s basically a free for all. Where you want to go, I follow. They’re YOUR goals, I just want to see you reach them. I believe coaching makes you more efficient. The more successful you are, the more successful I am.

So what are you waiting for?! If you’ve tried it, tell you friends about it. If you haven’t call (310) 295-0046!

Looking forward to hearing from you soon!

Leadership Profile: Kimberly Nojima

Kimberly Nojima
Culver City HS Senior - CPY (Youth & Government Student Leader)

How has Youth & Government affected you as a leader?
CPY has definitely given me more confidence in public speaking, especially when I have minimal time to prepare what I want to say. It has also given me a better understanding of how politics works, whether it be in government, school, or in relationships to an extent. It has given me better people skills, as I get to meet new friends from across the state.

Who are some leaders who have been role models for you?
Well, you [Scott] obviously, as you gave me a lot of the advice that helped me through middle and high school. More recently, my role models have been Kevin Wong, as he has been youth directing at Westlight Church, and my Multicultural Literature and ASB Student Council teacher, Mr. Valverde, because he teaches and lives out his life with such integrity and positivity that I would also like to have in mine.

What is the best advice about being a leader that you'd like to share with everyone?
To be a leader you need to know that others are watching you. Therefore, live out your life keeping that in mind and keeping yourself in check. Granted, you will make mistakes and some bad decisions, but for the most part, live with integrity. Also, being a leader doesn't necessarily mean being loud and speaking about what you believe or what you want others to believe--its also about constant listening and action without words.
