Life Coaching
Today we are going to write about Life Coaching, main type of personal coaching.
Firstly, I would define it in simple words:
Life Coaching is a profession in which few processes and techniques are involved, by which coaches assist you to improve your life, business, relationships and your day to day activities. In my opinion, life coaching aims to help you achieve clarity and confidence to work through issues that are holding you back from enjoying a challenging and harmonious life.
Let’s see its depth and get understanding how it works:
Life coaching is not about making simplistic judgments about someone’s life and telling that person how they ought to live it. The majority of coaches set out to fix what is wrong with people. I don’t believe in that approach at all.
Personal experience and social science research have shown that people are the sum of their genes, their cumulative experiences and the circumstances in which they live their lives. I believe, therefore, that successful coaching has to be based on an understanding of all these factors and not just focus on superficial behaviors.
But like anything else, life coaching works best under the right conditions. For me, then, effective, authentic coaching is based on the following principals:
1. After discussion and understanding client’s need, set coachable goal for the client,
2. Ready to get most from life coaching,
3. A shared feeling of trust and empathy between client and coach,
4. A relationship of equality between client and coach,
5. A desire on the client’s part to focus on the future, while acknowledging the effects of the past,
6. A willingness by the client to work through challenging issues towards empowerment, self-confidence and a happier, more productive life; and
7. A belief in people’s ability to accept them and yet make changes that will improve their lives.
At the end, I want to summarize it:
Life coaching is for everyone, to achieve your personal, spiritual, family and business goals much more effectively, more efficiently, more completely, with more fun, and in less time than any other human improvement process. Life coaches assist you to: overcome obstacles and fears, focus on solutions, have someone to bounce ideas off, no matter how silly they may seem, discover truths about you, and how you can improve, accomplish more than you thought possible, and achieve balance in your personal, work and family lives. Your coach will UNLEASH YOU, to become the person you always wanted to be and were capable of becoming.
