Hello! Let me introduce myself and say how excited I am to be able to share some information and inspiration to many people through this blog, New Horizons. Now the title of this post is 'What is Life Coaching?' so let's get to it!
I like to say that having a Life Coach is like having a personal trainer for your life. We have many people in our lives for different things, but many never think to hire someone to help them navigate and learn from the challenges they are faced with daily.
Coaches support, motivate and guide people to take action, to move forward, to be more, do more and have more. Desire for something is not enough. We all have desires, but do we all act on them? Sadly, not often, if at all.
Life Coaching is a rapidly growing method for helping people improve, develop, grow, achieve personal success and effectively manage life's challenges. It is extremely effective for all areas and situations in life, because the common denominator is You! They can help you discover your own value and your limitless potential in achieving the life you want rather than settling for a life you don't want.
Most coaching is done over the phone, which is a great benefit for those that are shy and/or pressed for time as well as convenient because of the flexibility it provides. Some clients prefer face-to-face sessions, however either way is equally effective.
What comes next? Well, we connect, either in person or over the phone and have a focused conversation that is designed to support you and I do this by asking you powerful questions to help clarify whatever it is you are seeking guidance with. Some clients are very specific on the areas they'd like to work on and others are not sure. Only that they want something different for themselves and in that case I use questions to help you brainstorm so that we can clarify what exactly is holding you back.
During our sessions together, I will not judge you or tell you what I think you should do. I am not the expect of your life - you are. You are in charge of your goals and the actions you are willing to take towards your goal, which means that you are responsible for the outcome. My role in the coaching relationship is empower you, guide you and support the choices you make.
Now it's not all serious business though. It's also a lot of fun, because it's a relaxed conversation with no agenda other than helping you towards being the best you can be.
Life Coaching has been around for many years, but it wasn't necessarily called 'coaching' and now it is slowly making it's way into mainstream society. At the same time I find it difficult to explain to some what exactly coaching is and how it's done so I encourage people to contact me and book their own no-cost, no-obligation consultation to find out for themselves what coaching is and how it can benefit not only them, but everyone interested in living their best life.
