What Is A Life Coach
What is a life coach?
Life coaching is a synergistic relationship between an accredited life coach and a client designed to tap into their full potential. Just as Olympic athletes wouldn’t think of training without the added insight, objective perspective and enthusiastic support of an athletic coach, many of today’s most successful business leaders, professionals, executives, entrepreneurs and CEOs use the services of a life coach to take their lives, careers, or businesses to the next level. Life Coaches can address your needs for both your personal and professional life. They are a life specialist, and expert on helping you develop all areas of your life. Unlike consultants who propose a solution and leave you to implement it, the life coach stays with you to help you integrate the changes, new skills, and goals to make sure they really happen for you. They are a motivator, part therapist and part rent-a-friend, who can help you define and achieve your goals — career, personal, or most often, both.
Why does life coaching work?
When you set out to achieve your goals, you have all the intention of following through and just hope that you make it. But when you work with a Life Coach there’s no hoping that you will follow through to achieve your goals. Coaches have the ability to view things from afar — in what some call ‘helicopter vision’ — and to shed new light on difficult situations. Often they can act as a sounding board through tough decisions, help sharpen skills, and motivate.
HERE’S WHY:
1) ACCOUNTABILITY: Most life coaches have a weekly call with their clients. This regularly scheduled call prompts clients to get more done than they would if left to their own devices. Think about it, if you work out with a personal trainer at the gym, you work much harder than on your own. Clients take bigger actions, set bigger goals and think bigger when they work with a professional life coach.
2) EXPERTISE: The trained life coach knows how to help you set the right goals, how to structure your personal and professional life to achieve greater productivity with less effort. They know how to help YOU discover what you need to do and how, so you can achieve more in less time with the input of an accredited Life Coach, like me, who is on your side.
3) DELIVERY. A well-trained coach knows how to use the right words so that you are naturally motivated. It doesn’t take brow-beating or nagging when you are working with a skilled life coach. Coaching typically works best with a weekly call so clients have time to integrate new ways of thinking and take action each week toward their goals. Most life coaching is done by phone and delivered in half hour to one hour coaching calls. The experience is challenging and uplifting. You’ll look forward to your weekly calls with your life coach. And on the weeks where you may have fallen short and feeling defeated, you will feel that sense of accountability kick in, because you know you have that meeting/call with your life coach and it is ok to talk through what went wrong, so you can start to work toward what can start to go right for your life.
