So what is life coaching, what sorts of issues can it address, and what does it involve?
Life coaching helps you:
- identify and achieve your personal goals
- reconnect with who you are and what you want
- live your best life in line with the values and beliefs that are important to you
Specific issues that can be addressed include:
- career direction and development
- work home and social relationships
- family, parenting and caring obligations
- healthy lifestyle
- life balance
- growth & development
- stress
- making decisions
- confidence
- happiness
- and becoming a better person!
Life coaching involves:
- asking provocative questions and inspiring you with new ideas, concepts and strategies
- drawing out your potential
- enabling you
It does this through you:
- seeing your “blind spots”.
- recognising recurring themes and patterns in your life
- examining issues that worry you and that you might normally prefer to ignore or avoid
- celebrating the positive and overcoming problems
- clarifying your values, your mission in life and your gifts, to reassess your life, redefine success, set new goals, overcome challenges, change lifelong habits, create better balance in your life and build confidence
- reducing your feelings of stress and gaining new energy
