Absolutely not!  Your coach will always be looking for ways to move you forward in whatever your specific situation may be, constantly looking at how you can make forward progress into whatever area you desire by giving you ownership of your own destiny and considering alternatives that you might never have even thought of.  Your coach will help you to invent your ideal world and support you in finding those all important life changing opportunities that are just waiting for you to take advantage of.

This is a question often asked and the answer is pretty straight forward.  People you know have an emotional attachment to you and this will have a major effect upon the advice they may offer in any given situation.  Your coach will have undertaken professional training that provides him with the right skill set to be able to listen, provide relevant feedback, communicate effectively and motivate you towards your aims, which will be conducted without bias and emotion which often gets in the way when this advice is given through the people we know.  Your coach will have no hidden agendas and will be primarily concerned with helping you move forwards in your life.

DO I NEED TO LIVE IN THE VICINITY OF MY COACH?

The joy of life coaching is that it can be conducted over the telephone, or through the internet and email, face to face is an advantage for the initial consultation but not essential, this only occurs because it is nice to put a face to the voice at the end of a phone and helps break down some of those communication barriers that can often be there when you do not know who you are talking to.  On the flip side to this, it has proved in many cases that having not met the client face to face, they tend to be more honest and open in the information they divulge regarding their present situation.

IS COACHING JUST TOO EXPENSIVE?

You will find that the majority of coaches charge a very similar rate.  A Coach cannot drop the standard rate as this would reduce the value of life coaching across the globe.  Whilst the coach may charge by the session, the background research that is conducted by the coach relating to your situation to be able to give the right feedback and guidance does not reflect the rate paid per session.  It is often the case that for each session, the coach will be required to conduct three times that amount of time, analysing your needs and the various factors surrounding your situation in preparation for your next session.

IS LIFE COACHING REALLY FOR ME?

You will not know if life coaching is really for you unless you try it and booking a FREE taster session is one way of discovering what it is all about.  You are more than welcome to contact me for a consultation to discuss your needs and have a taste of what the life coaching process is all about.  This session does need to be pre-arranged to ensure that this session is conducted at a time suitable to both you and the coach, so that you can make the most of this FREE opportunity. 

HOW DO I GET THE RIGHT COACH?

You need to connect with your coach in some shape or form, which should occur naturally for your coach will be trying to connect with you.  The coach that you choose has to be right for you and you should get a feel for that during your FREE taster session or during the first session or two that you may book.  However, you do not need to stay with the same coach if you feel that you are not moving forward in your situation and can opt out at any time.  You pay for your coaching in advance and you usually pay per session or for three sessions at a discount, hence you have a limited financial obligation in that respect.  This ensures that you do not have to commit too heavily from a financial point of view and that will in turn breed confidence in the service that is provided.  If you think that you would still like to continue with this life changing experience but do not connect with your coach, you can opt out at any stage and try a different coach.  The point is that you move forward in your life, which is the main aim of the service provided.

I WOULD LIKE TO TRY IT SO WHAT HAPPENS NEXT?

Just contact me through the relevant link on the menu and email me to show interest and I will respond as soon as possible to arrange a FREE session to briefly assess your needs.  From that point on, if you are still interested in coaching I will send you the relevant paperwork that introduces the service.  There is no formal written contract required as I like to think that when you opt out of coaching, it is done at your discretion and that you will still be moving forwards with your life.
