Using Personal Coaching to Build the Social Network You Need

This lens describes the fundamentals of social network coaching. Many people are overwhelmed at the prospect of social networking; and unfortunately, the popular images of social networking can lead us to make major networking mistakes. Personal coaching can help you avoid those mistakes. This lens will show you how and tell you what to look for in personal coaching for social network development

What To Look For in Personal Coaching for Social Networking 

Five Key Elements

  • Before the personal coaching begins, the coach must scientifically analyze your current social network, to identify hidden strengths and potentially catastrophic weaknesses. Just as a financial analyst assesses your portfolio before offering investment advice, a network coach must assess your network before helping you craft a strategy.
  • Second, personal coaching should craft a plan--much like a business plan--to build on the strengths and fill in the gaps of your current social network. This must include specific personal coaching strategies for building (a) the business sector and (b) the personal sector of your social network.
  • Third, personal coaching must identify the best venues in which to build the business and personal sectors of your social network--because the best places to build the business sector aren't the best for building personal contacts. Personal coaching means showing you where and how to build the kind of contacts you need.
  • Fourth, personal coaching must monitor your progress in developing your social network. Benchmarks for progress should be established and re-analysis of your social network conducted, to assess progress and adjust the social networking strategy.
  • Fifth, personal coaching must be grounded in the science of social networks. The best personal coaches for social network development understand that science--at Optinet Resources, we not only understand it, we help produce it.
