What is Life Coaching?
"What is Life Coaching." Want to hear my answer? Here's a link to that interview.
Where is Your Life going?
Where is Your Business Going?
Do you know? Is
that where you want to go? If not, what are you going to
do about it? Look, there are all sorts of worn-out clichés we can use
here. If you aren't going anywhere in particular, any vehicle will
do, even
this one.
But here's the point, if you don't know where you are going, if you have no destination, then life just happens to you. And if life just happens to you, you are most likely not a happy person. If life is just happening in your business, then every business day is a struggle that takes you to no place in particular, which makes being in business a lot of work and not much fun or profit.
Yikes!! Is that a living or is it a slow dying?
Everyone I've known who does not exercise control over their life is a decidedly unhappy person. Simply put, Life is too long to go through it angry. Lucky for you, you don't have to. You can choose to take control, and that's what life coaching is all about. Your life, and your business is better when you are in charge. If you're ready, I can help you take charge.
And the best way I know of helping you take charge of your life is through the Energy Leadership Assessment and follow-on coaching. I have dedicated a page in this web site specifically to Energy Leadership and invite you to take a look.
Coaching is about helping you achieve your agenda or goals. It's just that simple.
If you want the definition straight from the International Coaching Federation, here it is.
Professional coaches provide an ongoing partnership designed to help clients produce fulfilling results in their personal and professional lives. Coaches help people improve their performances and enhance the quality of their lives.
Coaches are trained to listen, to observe, and to customize their approach to individual client needs. They seek to elicit solutions and strategies from the client; they believe the client is naturally creative and resourceful. The coach's job is to provide support to enhance the skills, resources, and creativity that the client already has.
That's pretty much what I said. If it isn't, it's what I meant. The Coaching Federation uses a lot more words. You decide which definition resonates with you.
