Life
Coaching
Coaching is a powerful and simple way of
empowering people to make changes to their lives and lifestyle.
Coaching
sessions are weekly 60 minute telephone sessions which can also take place
one-to-one when clients are local. Most coaching sessions occur over the
phone, supported by unlimited e-mail communication.
In
life coaching, an
experienced and dedicated professional focuses all his/her energy on helping you
to achieve your aims. A coach can work with clients from any part of the
U.K. or the world, all that is needed is a phone!
Life Coaching is about getting rapid, lasting
results, now.
A coach is not the same as a
counselor or
psychotherapist. Coaches will
focus on your present and future and not dwell on your past.
Coaches
help people to achieve aims in many different areas of their lives as shown on
the diagram below.
Your
coach will have different skills, background and life experiences to yours and
will be able to provide additional perspectives and catalytic input that can
help move you forward and be positive and effective.
A
coach will ask key questions to establish what works well for you and what
issues are holding you back. Each
person is unique and only they know which solutions work best for them.
Coaches do not tell clients what to do; they guide them to find the solutions
that are best suited to them.
By
observation, listening and questioning, life coaches explore with clients their
situation, values and beliefs. They work with clients to find ways in which they
might achieve their aims and help them to set appropriate goals.
Coaches help their clients draw action plans and track progress towards
their goals. Coaches also guide
their clients to decide on what actions they need to take in the present to
accomplish their goals/dreams in the future.
