About Life Coaching
What is coaching?
Coaching is about performing at your best through the individual assistance of someone who will challenge, stimulate and guide you to keep growing.
By choosing to focus on your own unique gifts and talents, and developing them, soon provides a new impetus to life.
Coaching will help you establish and get clear on your goals, increase your confidence and self belief and overcome obstacles that have been holding you back.
Coaching is a relationship between the coach and the client, where the coach acts as the facilitator, helping the client to get clear on their goals and how to achieve them. It relies on the client being ready and taking the actions necessary to make the changes they want.
Coaching is client led - you decide on the areas you want to work on and you are in control of the process.
What coaching is not!
Coaching is not therapy, therapy is a process of rehabilitation to recover from an emotional injury. It usually focuses on the past and the healing of emotional wounds.
Coaching is not about processing your emotional history, or diagnosing and treating mental health issues, with coaching it is about raising awareness and taking responsibility for your emotions it is action orientated with a strong focus on your current life and your plans for the future.
Coaching is not teaching, teaching is the transfer of knowledge and information.
With coaching you have all the knowledge and information about your life: it is about making you aware of how to choose to use it.
What Can It Do For Me?
We are often over-whelmed with the pace of our lives, juggling careers and relationships, creating successful businesses, and working towards some kind of financial independence. Coping with divorce or relationship breakdown or yearning for that soul mate to come along. Or just longing for sometime to think through and share the next chapter of our lives.
I believe that I can offer a safe, yet challenging environment in which we can explore your feelings and work out what is troubling you with the help of objective, non-judgemental input:
I see my role as a coach to:
- Really understand you and the issues you are struggling with
- Help you regain and maintain self confidence and self belief
- Encourage you to find and acknowledge your core strengths
- Examine your goals interests and choices
- Explore real and perceived stumbling blocks so you can move forward
- Help you achieve a sense of purpose
- Help you live a fulfilled and authentic life.
Here are some general benefits of coaching. I wonder which might apply to you?
- You know you could contribute more to your life and want to take the first step.
- You want to develop and grow your own life but are over whelmed by others needs
- You are running you own business but need someone to share your thoughts and visions with
- You want to feel happy and content with who you really are.
- You have a demanding job and want to find some balance in your life.
- You need help with putting good ideas into words.
- You are stuck but desperately want to move forward.
- You want support in choosing to live a healthier life.
What to Expect
The relationship set up between coach and client is unique to each person, what matters is that it works for you. It is a two way process where we are equal and both play an active role.As I coach I believe that you have the potential, abilities and talents to achieve your dreams, I will help you transform all your dreams into goals and to become the best you can possibly be.
I will commit to coaching you to the best of my abilities, keeping you challenged, supporting and inspiring you through out the process. I will listen to what you say using my questioning skills and intuition to respond in a way to stretch your thinking.
Your role is to come to each session centred and ready to engage, be open, honest and curious and to trust the coaching process. Give me feedback about what works for you and what doesn't, what is easy and what is difficult, and where you feel you are in relationship with where you want to be.We will agree upon actions to be taken in between sessions, taking action is the key to transformation. By following through on you action steps you will be strengthening your commitment and ensuring your success. Should there be any self sabotaging behaviour that prevents you from moving towards your chosen outcome then we will reflect on what is happening and work through the best way to over come what is blocking your progress.
