When we are younger, we are programmed to believe certain limiting-thought patterns. These patterns become integrated into our subconscious minds and basically rule our lives into adulthood. Life coaching begins with the question: What is working in your life and what is not? Often from this answer, you can tell which programming or conditioning needs to be explored. This can happen fairly quickly or take time. My job is to clear your road blocks in the subconscious programming; so that you may live a life in congruence with your highest purpose or goals.
Life coaching will enable you to be a more capable, confident and clear person. Decisions will be easier to make, plans will happen more effortlessly than before and you will communicate with integrity. Life coaching will assist you to becoming more of who you are and enable you to reach your fullest potential. Coaching will enable you to live a “life on purpose”.
Instead of taking a psychoanalytical approach, life coaches concentrate on helping their clients overcome challenges so they can continue to make progress and feel satisfied with the changes they have made in their lives. Their duty is to listen to the things that are making you feel stuck on a given issue and then provide you with the resources you need to shift direction.
A person who works as a life coach is responsible for assisting clients like you in the process of developing a more positive and optimistic outlook on the challenges that life presents. If you struggle with low self-esteem, working with a life coach can be just what the doctor ordered to get your life back on track. If self-assurance is something you struggle with, or if you feel that it is not where you want it to be, working with a coach might be the solution you’ve been waiting for.
The primary objective of coaching is to improve a client’s performance by elevating them to their fullest possible level of capability. The primary goals of coaching are the cultivation of leadership, the establishment of self-discipline, the construction of a system of self-belief, the induction of motivation, and the improvement of self-awareness. Up to 80% of persons who receive coaching report a boost in their self-confidence, and more than 70% benefit from improved work performance, relationships, and more effective communication skills. The advantages of coaching are numerous. 86% of businesses have said that they have seen a return on their investment in coaching and other training programs. (source: ICF 2009 Recovery Coaching).
