 What is Life Coaching?
Life Coaches help people like you navigate transitions, create a more balanced life, discover your purpose, and make lifelong improvements. A Life Coach can assist you in developing a balanced life plan for intentional living, set goals and priorities, make important changes, lower stress, determine your core values and vision for every area of your life: Spiritual, Physical, Relational, Financial, Career. Coaching vs. Other Disciplines You might ask, how is coaching different than mentoring or counseling? Mentors give wise advice based on their own experience, while coaches help you draw out your own insights. You have the answers within and are the best expert on your own life, sometimes they just have to be drawn to the surface. Coaches have mastered the art of believing in people instead of telling them what to do. A counselor’s goal is to move hurting people toward wholeness, while coaches help people to understand & discover purpose in who they are, what they are to be, and help them achieve balance in all areas of their life. Counseling focuses on the past, coaching focuses on moving forward. Over and over, people who work with a great coach find they can reach higher and accomplish more than they ever thought they could on their own.
So How Does This Life Coaching Really Work? Coaching is the art of helping people grow and maximize their potential without telling them what to do. In a coaching relationship, you choose what you want to work on, you develop your own life, set your own goals and actions – in other words, you are always in charge.
What I bring to the table as a coach is a set of professional skills that help you to identify what you really want in life – what's really important. As a coach, I also provide encouragement, healthy accountability, and support so you can live with more intention and reach the goals you set which results in lasting life change. For example, say you want to simplify your life and bring balance into the various areas of your life. A coach might start by helping you identify what's most important and help you to decide where you desire to focus your energy to be intentional. And once you're clear abour your areas of importance and passion, your coach will help you develop an action plan, overcome obstacles along the way, and keep you moving forward until you are experiencing what you were after. What’s Included and What it Costs A typical coaching relationship consists of a 1-hour session every week or every other week, which includes free e-mail contact and short “spot calls” of five minutes or less between sessions as needed. As a part of the discovery process, you can choose to complete a Client Profile and a DISC Behaviors/ PIAV Motivators Assessment. During our first initial 2-hour session we'll go over your assessment, get to know each other better and establish our coaching relationship based on your objectives and desired coaching outcomes.
