Where is your life 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. 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 pissed off. Lucky for you, you have a choice. You can choose to take control, and that's what life coaching is all about.

What is Life Coaching?

What do top successful executives, joyful homemakers, and Tiger Woods all have in common? They all use a coach to help them live their dreams and to be the best they can be.

Coaching is about helping you achieve your agenda or goals. It's just that simple.

But 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.

I think I said all that. The Coaching Federation does use a lot more words though. So you decide which definition resonates with you. I keep things simple.

Here are some of the things I can help you with.

	Get clear about what you want or what you want to accomplish and set goals to get there
	Remove hidden, personal, internal obstacles
	Improve relationships (personal or business)
	Solve problems
	Deal with the button-pushers in your life
	Find peace and joy in your life (Yes, it really is possible.)
	Discover your passion (Yes, you do have a passion and you probably are not feeding it.)
	Find a balance between your work and the rest of your life
	Find More Life in your life

Is Coaching for you?

Here's a simple nine-question test. Answer each question with a number from 1 to 10. A 1 means you don't agree with the statement at all. And a 10 means I've been reading your mind because you completely agree. So, you decide what the numbers between 1 and 10 mean.
