Fundamentals of Life Coaching
What is Life Coaching?
Life coaching is a series of conversations between client and coach, which help you to: Understand your situation
Clarify how you'd like it to change
Develop strategies to do that
Keep you focused on doing that
Deal with the human factors which tend to get in the way like
fear, faulty reasoning, stamina, pessimism and analysis paralysis
How it is done?
I usually coach my clients a place of mutual convenience or my therapy room once a week.
Initially we start at the top of the list above, clarifying the situation they're in, and
looking at how they'd like to change it, and developing strategies. That
usually takes one session.
After that, we enter a loop in which the client sets themselves goals
to accomplish for next week. When next week arrives, we talk about what
happened - good and bad - and about what we're going to do about it. The
sessions are relaxed, friendly and fun .
Why Does Coaching Work So Well?
Part of it is really straight forward, some of it is not. Here are the main factors which lead to its impressive success:
We're taking you out of your life to look back in on
it. Many of us don't find the time to do that often, but coaching invites you to do it weekly
Its like when a company does a review and they discuss what worked and did not work, when did you last do a review of your life?
- Why would Anyone hire a Life Coach?
- Look at your life as it is today, and as
it will be in the months and
years to come. If there are things you'd like to change to make
your life run better, to realise ambitions, fulfil potential, be happier, - less stressful, more profitable, more peaceful, sociable, or fun - then
- that's something life coaching can help you with.
