| What is
life coaching?
Life coaching is a tool successful
people use to achieve and create their ideal life.
Most people understand that a sports coach helps an
athlete:
Set and reach goals
Stay focused
Attain their personal best
Accomplish more through support and training
In a similar vein, as your life coach
I will:
Encourage you to set and achieve
goals important to you
(even goals you may have thought unattainable)
Focus you to produce better and faster results
Encourage you to do more than you would do on
your own to attain
your p.b. (personal best)
Provide you with support, tools and structure
to accomplish more
How do I, as your coach, accomplish this?
We will arrange a day and time to
suit your schedule as a standing appointment. I will
call you at our agreed time
Through phone coaching sessions I
will focus on you and work with you to identify what
is important to you in your personal or professional
life. You will gain the ability to recognise, eliminate
and replace obstacles or roadblocks that hold you back
from the success you deserve. As your coach I enable
you to find your own "answers" by:
Asking questions
Making specific requests
Actively listening
Expecting your best
Being direct and honest
Assigning homework
Giving feedback/reflecting
Being there for you
What coaching is not
Coaching is not therapy, counselling
or psychology, which deal with past events and how they
relate to your thoughts and feelings in the present.
Coaching focuses on the present and future and is oriented
towards the client setting goals so as to move forward.
Coaching is not consulting or mentoring
in that the coach is not an expert or specialist in
the client's life and therefore does not give the client
recommendations or solutions for problems but rather
works with the client in drawing on their own knowledge
and wisdom to find the solutions that work for them.
The coach does not have the answers but has the questions
that allow the client to find their own answers.
