4 reasons to seek Life Coaching

There are many myths about the kinds of people who will seek Life Coaching. In my experience, clients seem to fall into four key groups:

1. ‘There’s got to be more to life than this!’
This group has achieved a good career, home, family and lifestyle but still doesn’t feel fulfilled.  They might have followed what others have wanted for them or be doing what they think is necessary to get by. They can find it difficult to even tune into their desires when they have pushed them aside for so long and may have fears about the impact of making changes in their lives.

Coaching can help you access your heart’s desires, challenge your thinking about the implications of following your path and support you in making gradual changes.
 
2. ‘I know what I want but I’m not doing it (yet)’
Whilst this group knows where they want to be they cannot seem to move forward. They might have taken steps towards implementing their plans but encountered problems or find it difficult to get round to taking action.

Coaching can help navigate internal and external obstacles and ensure you have considered all the actions necessary for success. You better understand your resistance, learn new techniques for resolving issues and are soon moving forward.

3. ‘I can’t seem to move on’
Life events such as the breakdown of a relationship, redundancy or bereavement have turned this group’s lives up-side-down. Once the initial grief has subsided, they are left wondering what is next.

Coaching can help you celebrate your uniqueness and build on the successes of the past whilst making the transition into your next phase. This impartial support has a distinct and different role to the care of friends and family in what can be a confusing and disorientating time. 

4. ‘I want to live the best life I can’
This group simply recognises the value of stepping back reflecting on what they are doing and who they are being. With the pace of life and range of options available, it is easy to get swept along without consciously choosing our path. This group treats regular coaching as an integral part of their lives.

Coaching completes the part we often miss in the ‘plan – do – review’ loop. This enables you to learn the most from each situation and speeds up your progress. Working with a coach over time makes sure you stay on track and consciously create the life you desire.

The first step in exploring if coaching is right for you is a free initial conversation. Get in touch to book yours.
