WHAT IS LIFE COACHING?
Olympic athletes do not participate in the Olympic Games without a coach.
Life is our Olympics.
It takes incredible stamina, courage, perseverance, skill, and heart to “keep on keeping on”, to reach our highest goals, get beyond “unsurpassable obstacles”, and realize our fondest desires.
Just as an Olympic trainer supports the athlete to reach the highest level of performance…to achieve “personal best”, so does a Life Coach support the client to go beyond where they would normally stop, to experience an “evolution of excellence”, to create the life he or she has always wanted.
Each of us has an “inner athlete”, which, given the advantage of professional coaching, can use limitations as “stepping stones” to personal growth, transforming life from ordinary to extraordinary. The challenge of finding and living this “best life” can be met more easily with the help of a life coach.
“If we do not change direction, we are liable to end up where we are headed.” Confucius.
Coaching is about change. Positive, powerful change.
Two forces, action and learning, combine to create change.
Coaching provides a context, safe and strong enough, to allow you to work on the most important issues of your life, with specific techniques to clarify the choices, create action plans, and monitor the results.
The purpose of a powerful coaching relationship is to “forward the action”.
Imagine someone who is sometimes even more committed to what you want in your life than you are…always “in your corner”.
Using traditional and innovative techniques, the coach creates an alliance specifically designed to meet the basic needs of the client. The best coaching relationship is based on truth, trust, and a deep listening of those needs.
The magic in Life Coaching exists in the dynamic connection between coach and client.
The end result for the client: greater harmony with one’s Self, and more freedom to live and to be that real Self.
According to Bertrand Russell, “in a deep instinctive union with the stream of life, lies the greatest of all happiness.”
