Considering Life Coaching

Let us look at Life Coaching as a client or client-based approach that helps a person or people achieve a goal or possibly a set of goals, either in their private lives or public lives. Let us remember that a Life Coach is not a therapist; they do not investigate the past but concentrate on the present or future. Life coaches assist their clients in achieving meaningful goals or desires. A Life Coach may help a person or a group overcome a roadblock that has slowed or stopped their goals from being achieved.

How does Life Coaching Benefit a client or Clients?

A well-trained professional Life Coach can help a person or group see clarity, rekindle passion, and restructure an objective or goal. Sometimes, it only takes someone writing down a goal, the objectives and how to get around roadblocks to rekindle the passion for a project or desire. The Life Coach can give valued feedback or help you rethink your goals or projects.

ACTION PLANS / Goal Setting

Instead of going for the end game immediately, a Life Coach will assist the client or clients in seeing clarity and ways to break that big goal down into achievable, easier-to-reach goals. An Action Plan could break down the big “Year End Goal” into ten or twelve smaller goals that will show success from start to finish of a project. Setting up a structured approach gives accountability and lets a person or group feel empowered and part of a bigger plan.

Learning More About YOU!

A Life Coach encourages their clients to become more self-aware of what they are truly capable of. A client may suddenly discover they have a whole set of strengths they never drew on before to achieve their goals in Life and business. Life Coaches often comment on the improved Confidence, demeanour and positive mindsets they observe their clients develop.

Improving Communications and becoming a Team.

Once a Life Skill begins with a person or a group, they quickly find ways to assist a client in improving their communication skill set. As they learn to communicate with one another, clients often learn how to problem-solve and avoid conflicts with coworkers and others. Some clients have shared with their Life Coaches how they have learned to appreciate the team they work with or have recreation with after learning how to express themselves better.

Is there Life after Work?

A Life Coach may assist a client in creating a balance between work and play or work and family. A Life Coach can assist a client or group in learning their priorities and how to balance them with other duties, recreation, and family.

Remember, a healthy mind and body will always have balance. Without that balance, everything will eventually go sideways in one’s Life.
