What is life coaching?
The life coaching process is the only human improvement process that focuses completely on YOU! Life coaches are equal partners who assist you to improve and grow as a person as the means to achieve your heart’s desires. Life coaches assist you to become the World's Leading Expert on YOU!
Life Coaching is motivational, inspiring, positive, exciting and action driven. Life coaching helps you look at where you are now and where you’d like to be, and helps you bridge the gap. By raising awareness and encouraging you to take responsibility for your life, life coaching can help you rise to your own particular challenges and go further than you ever thought possible.
Life Coaching assists you to take the driver’s seat of your own life, let go of what others think and take action to create the self and the life you desire. It is about you creating the joy and happiness in life that you desire and deserve.
What does a Life Coach do?
Your Life Coach assists you and works with you to determine honestly where you are today, and define where you want to be. Your Life Coach listens, asks questions and challenges you to raise your awareness, possibilities and choice and then holds you accountable for what you have said you will do.
How does Coaching work?
Life Coaching works because it is all about you. Once you connect with what you really desire and why you really desire (or don’t desire) something, magic happens. One of the crucial reasons life coaching works is that you are always held accountable for putting yourself on your priority list and for what YOU have said you will do.
What can Life Coaching do for me?
There are many reasons why people hire a Life Coach, but some of the reasons are:
- To get UNSTUCK.
- To find BALANCE.
- To find CALM and INNER PEACE.
- To get CLARITY AND FOCUS.
- To create MORE HAPPINESS.
- To find FREEDOM.
- To become the YOUR AUTHENTIC SELF.
- To identify their PASSIONS.
What will Life Coaching NOT do?
Life Coaching will NOT provide the answers, only YOU can do that. No–one else can tell you what you truly want — only you know that! And Life Coaching is not psychotherapy.
How does Life Coaching differ from Counseling?
Both Counselor and Life Coaching listen, ask questions, raise awareness and move you forward. However, counseling and therapy is more about treating a present problem or number of issues by looking into the past. Counseling and therapy more than likely will include psychiatry and diagnosis, neither of which is part of Life Coaching.
Life Coaching is about moving from where you are today into your into the future. Life Coaching is future focused; relies on YOU for the answers. YOU, the client, is the expert, not the Life Coach!
What does a Life Coaching Session look like?
Life Coaching sessions are held over the phone. This is your “sacred” time, a gift you give to yourself. In the beginning, we work together to establish where you are and define what you want to get out of the Life Coaching and we set an action plan. We brainstorm options and possibilities for your action plan.
At each session you create and commit to your action plan for the upcoming period. We talk on a regular (weekly or bi–weekly) basis to evaluate and discuss your progress. We celebrate your successes and probe deeper into the areas where you might be stuck. I listen and support you during each session, ask questions and challenge you, offering feedback and observations as needed.
How long do we work together?
We work together for as long as it is beneficial to you—and you are enjoying the sessions. It is recommended that you start with a 3–6 month time period to allow you to get going and achieve something meaningful during our time together.
