What is Life Coaching?
Ask yourself these questions:
- What am I tolerating in my life?
- Where do I limit myself?
- What are the possibilities?
If these questions intrigue you, and you want to make definite movement in your life, coaching may be for you.
Can you imagine a life that feels better to you?
Coaching can help you find clarity and a path to that life.
Coaching is:
- A place to dream, brainstorm, and create a plan to move forward.
- A supported relationship where both failures and success are encouraged.
- About you, your life, and your dreams.
- About discovery, awareness and choice.
What Life Coaching is NOT:
- Life coaching is not about solving problems, although problems will be solved.
- It is not primarily about improving performance, attaining goals or achieving results, although all of that will happen in an effective coaching relationship.
- Coaching is not counseling or therapy where you’re dwelling on the past. It’s more about movement and looking at where you are right now and where you want to go.
Life coaching is for people who want to move forward in life.
Benefits of Coaching
Am I a candidate for coaching?
The people who benefit most from coaching already have good lives, but they know there is more out there. They carry a vision in their head and a passion in their heart that calls them forward. They want “more” and coaching is the way to define what “more” is and move toward it. Coaching clients come from all walks of life but share one basic question, “What’s next in my life?” They long to answer this question and continue to live on purpose.
Am I ready for coaching?
Some clients know immediately that they are ready to move forward. Another way is to take a look at the major areas of your life — Career, Spirituality, Recreation, Romance, Health, Living Space, Family, and Finances.
Use the Wheel of Life tool to assess your level of satisfaction in each of these areas.
