What is a life coach?
Life
Coaching is motivational, inspiring, and positive. Goal oriented and
beneficial. Life coaching helps you look at where you are now and
where you’d like to be, and helps you have the guidance and support you
need to reach the goals you have set. It encourages you to take
responsibility for your life, life coaching can help you rise to your
own personal challenges and become the person you desire.
The Benefits of Having a Life Coach
*You
get to talk about your problems and challenges with someone who's not
going to interrupt you, judge you, nor criticize what you are saying.
*If
you're feeling negative and lacking in motivation, your coach will help
you challenge the limitations you have set for yourself. The negative
beliefs about yourself, about the situations you find yourself in, that
may be stopping you from moving forward.
*Life coaching will give you the tools, support, and time to think through your challenges and options.
*You
can use your life coach as a sounding board for your ideas, i.e. your
business plan, what to put in a presentation, how to present yourself
for a successful interview, how to start a new hobby, your new fitness
regime; the list is limitless.
*If you have lost your direction in
life, your coach will help you to focus by setting you some highly
effective personal tasks designed to help you identify what you would
like to have, be and do.
*If you have nagging doubts about what you
are doing in your life or things just do not "feel" right, it may be
that your not sticking to your core values, beliefs; the things that are
most important to you, like achievement, success, caring for others, or
peace of mind; a life coach will help you discover your true core
values, and help you work on a plan for fulfilling them.
*Everything you say will be in total confidence.
*Your coach will offer suggestions if it is appropriate and something you would welcome.
How Does Life Coaching Work?
Coaching
can be face to face or on the telephone. You will meet/ring your coach
at an arranged time for weekly sessions, which can last between 30 and
60 minutes.
During that time, your coach will establish an issue with you, and encourage you, with a series of questions to set a goal.
With
guidance from your coach, you will explore various options open to you
that might enable you to take a step nearer to your goal. What if
talking to someone doesn’t appeal? A lot of coaches now do email
coaching which can be surprisingly effective, giving both parties the
time to think before setting their thoughts, questions and answers down
in writing.
