What is Life Coaching?

What is Life Coaching? Life Coaching is a professional one-on-one relationship with the aim of helping you determine and achieve personal goals. A Life Coach helps you in any aspect of your life that you feel you need it. As every individual has many dynamics to their life - including themself, their significant other, their personal relationships, their business or career, any community groups or church they belong to, their pets, their spirituality, etc. there are often too many areas in an individual's life competing for attention and often one or another of these dynamics remain stagnant or unfulfilled - thereby affecting the other areas adversely. Life coaching has it's roots in many fields, such as, executive coaching, management consulting and leadership training. The purpose of life coaching is not to focus on or diagnose the past but on effecting change in one's current situation or future goals. Many people have been surveyed with regard to the role they wanted a Life Coach to play for them and it is a "sounding board" or a "motivator." An effective Life Coach's goal is "to really listen to you and give honest feedback and help with effective tools in producing the results you're looking for. Fundamental to my method is ensuring you as a whole person are addressed (body, mind, spirit, relationships, intentions, well-being, sense of belonging and meaning, viability and so on) and to have as the mutually shared focus your development taken as a whole. This goes far beyond accomplishing goals and has far-reaching and long-lasting positive effects in the your life. These results include a greater sense of personal efficacy, a deeper experience of meaning and belonging, and a greater capacity to contribute in all areas of your life. There are many different types of Life Coaching:
Depending upon what you need and want to achieve and in what areas of your life. And once the immediate area or goal has been addressed, another one may come to mind as needing some attention. It is for you! You have to take a good look at your life, determine if it's going the way you envision or if it's off the rails in one or more aspects. You then have to decide you want to make real life changes. This takes a commitment and some courage. If you recognize change is needed, contact me and the next step is a complimentary consultation. This consultation will allow each of us an opportunity to determine if life coaching is right for you and if we are a good fit for each other. Need more information? Look over these pages: |
