What is Life Coaching?
Life Coaching is to the mind what personal training is to the body.
In the gym, with the right equipment, you can transform your entire body. With coaching, I provide you the tools and techniques to create a complete transformation within your mind.
These tools give you the power to change your perspective and the things that hold you back, so you can become whoever you want and accomplish anything you desire.
Manage Your Thoughts
Your brain is hard-wired for survival. This means it’s always looking for problems or potential danger. Your brain runs on autopilot so the perceptions of trouble can get in the way of you achieving the things you want. Managing the autopilot thinking changes everything.
Feel Better
The only reason any of us ever want anything is because of how we believe we will feel when we have it. But how we feel is never a result of that thing we desire. It’s always, always tied to a thought. Our thoughts and feelings are directly connected and this discovery is where everything changes.
Take Action
Once you’ve learned the connection between your thoughts and feelings, you’ll be ready to take action. Your actions are always driven by your feelings. As you learn to line both your thoughts and your feelings up with the things you’re seeking, the changes will follow.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is life coaching different from therapy?
Life coaching looks to the future. It focuses on moving you forward so you can achieve your goals, whereas therapy looks more into resolving past problems.
Coaching empowers you, as the client, to discover the answers within, as opposed to therapy giving you their answers.
Coaches don’t diagnose, therapists do.
How long must I commit to working with a coach?
A minimum of one month because it takes at least that long to begin creating awareness around your thoughts. If you decide it’s not working, you can discontinue. Most of my clients find coaching more beneficial than they realized and stay on longer than they initially anticipated. My packages begin with 6 months.
Do people who are already successful hire life coaches?
Yes! One of the reasons is the complexity of modern-day life. Things aren’t as simple as they were in the past. And your parents might have been happy to have a job that paid the bills, most people today want a career that is personally fulfilling and financially rewarding. They want to find work that is in line with their core values and is an expression of who they are. If you aren’t loving what you do, even if you are successful, you would benefit from some coaching.
Are you doing what you most enjoy? Are you tolerating or putting up with anything? Is life easy or are you struggling? Are you on the path to financial independence? Do you have what you really want? Do you know what you really want? Most people expect a lot more out of their lives and coaching can help them achieve that.
Coaching speeds things up so hold on to your hat when you hire a life coach!
Why does life coaching create such rapid change?
Life coaching works for several reasons:
The synergy between the life coach and client creates momentum and enthusiasm. New tools and techniques are learned, and better goals are set, ones that naturally motivate the client. The client develops new skills and perspectives, which lead to greater success.
Coaching provides a structure of support. Left to our own devices, we start out with the best intentions, hit a snag and either get derailed completely or delayed for a long time. A life coach can help you move through snags and inevitable road blocks in life so that more is accomplished with less struggle and less effort in a remarkably short period of time.
Objectivity. Your coach is an objective, positive supporter. Our family and friends aren’t always able to provide this. A life coach helps you see things you can’t see on your own so you can accomplish more and enjoy things along the way.
Am I obligated after a free session?
NO! A free session is just that, free. Of course, if both the client and I feel like it’s a good fit, I can offer a coaching package but there is no obligation to purchase.
I love to offer free sessions so potential clients can see the impact even one session have in their life.
