What is a personal coach?
A personal coach works with you, one-on-one, to identify your dreams, passions, goals and aspirations and supports you in achieving them. Whether you want to make a career move, strengthen a relationship or make a lifestyle change, a coach can help you overcome barriers and make changes that we all find it difficult to achieve on our own. A coach is a highly skilled, unconditional supporter who is focused on helping you design and live your best life.
Who uses personal coaching...and why?
Personal coaching is for everyone! Whether you are in business, a student, a stay-at-home parent, or just looking to enhance your life, coaching is an ideal way to work towards greater satisfaction in your life. Some examples of why people work with personal coaches:
- Exploring a career change
- Pursuing a dream or passion with support
- Balancing home and work life
- Navigating change
- Building more effective personal relationships
- Overcoming fears and meeting challenges
- Learning about self-care
- Setting goals and staying motivated
- Improving self concept and confidence
- Investing in yourself
How is personal coaching different from counseling?
Personal coaching is not counseling. Personal coaching helps individuals identify goals, create plans for how to achieve them, and offers support while you work towards those goals in manageable and measurable ways. Coaching looks forward and asks the questions "where do you want to go in your life, how will you get there, and how can I support you in doing that?" While counseling and coaching can work well together, coaches are focused on helping you take proactive steps to design the life you want.
What can coaching help me achieve?
Anything! So you've always wanted to write a novel but haven't been able to make it happen . . . or you have no time in your life for fun and you want to change that. . . or you feel you've been neglecting your personal relationships. . . or you want to start a business, get a promotion, or find a new job. . . or you'd just like to find more joy in your life. Any of these things-and a host of others-are great reasons to work with a personal coach. A coach will help you define and work toward any goal you set. The key is having an unconditional supporter who is 100% focused on you and on helping you make progress toward living the life you want. A coach can help, challenge, affirm, hold accountable, encourage, and problem-solve. You have the answers within-a coach simply helps you uncover them and put them in motion.
What if I don't have the time or money or I don't know what I would work on?
Then coaching is for you! Coaching is affordable and doesn't take a lot of time, yet it will show you how to create time in your life for the things you really care about. Not sure what your goals are? Perfect. Coaching helps you examine your strengths and uncover your dreams. Coaching can be done over the phone or in-person depending on your preferences...it's all up to you!
