What is Coaching?
Coaching is for everyone.
Coaching is like getting official training & insight on getting to know your mind and building self-awareness. Coaching is focused on you, your experience. The coach and client develop a dialogue specifically focused on serving & supporting you through your own personal evolution. You deserve to be the person you dreamed of, that you desire to be. A coach stands for that vision even when you can no longer see it for yourself. Our minds are literally meant to doubt ourselves and a coach can help point out when and how the brain lies about things. It lies because it wants to protect you. Nothing has gone wrong when this happens but when it does, the lies can keep us distracted and stuck. A coach helps bypass that or prevent it all together - saving you time, money and stress.
Coaching is not about telling you WHAT to do. Coaching is meant to serve through maintaining the central view point of the client. The coach will never know what is best for you because they are not YOU.
A coach asks you questions to help you expand your perspective, point out your blind spots, develop new behavior patterns, try on a different strategy, and think differently about what is possible. Many times we have obstacles, limiting beliefs, blindspots, judgments that get in our own way. A coach helps you figure that all out.
Coaches support you through releasing the different blockades of life to instead
create more of what you want.
Is life coaching a scam?
Coaching is evolving into a billion dollar industry and the fact that anyone can call themselves a life coach without any true training is appealing to people - especially the scammy ones.
Life coaching itself is not a scam but the internet is a wild, wild place. There are people who have no business being a coach. It really comes down to the consumers responsibility to be diligent on who they invest their money in.
When looking into investing into a coach:
Take note of what free offers they give
Follow them on their social media platforms and check out their vibe
Do you like what they are talking about; Do your values match?
Take advantage of the free consultation (if available). The consultation call is a great time to see if you and the coach are a good match. Remember: You do not have to say yes on the call - the consultation call is not supposed to be about you saying yes but you making the best decision for you and if you love your reason.
How do I know if I need a coach?
If you want to change anything in your life, you have to look at what you believe in. But really, coaching is everywhere. Teachers, social workers, physicians, parents - these are all different forms of coaching. When it comes to the actual label of coach as a progression - there are a variety of specialties. It all depends on what you want to create for your life in the season you are in.
Do you want to improve your marriage?
Do you want to improve your relationship with money?
Would you like to become a paid public speaker?
Would you like to figure out how to show who you truly are without apologizing or stressing about people’s opinions?
There’s a coach for that.
The relationship with yourself, the world, your identity and how you process emotions is key. Coaching is not just reading a personal development or self-improvement book and applying a few concepts - coaching is about hiring a literal live person to stand for the vision you desire for your life. They are able to continue standing for you when you lose sight of your vision for yourself.
If you are ready to take your personal development journey to the next level and want a deeper, in-depth experience - coaching is for you.
