If you scroll down this homepage you will find below the answers to some of those frequently asked questions, some situations where life coaching can be of benefit and the benefits of having a Life Coach.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS IS LIFE COACHING A FORM OF THERAPY OR JUST PLAIN COUNSELLING? 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. SURELY MY FRIENDS & FAMILY CAN SUPPORT ME? 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 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.

Stress Are you suffering from too much stress in your life? Are the challenges that you are being faced with beginning to take its toll on you? Do you feel that your life is becoming out of control and your health is being affected by this? How about being under stressed, have you ever thought of that?

Bad Habits and Addictions Have you been over indulging lately at the consequence of your health? Too much of a good thing is most certainly not good for us. Our health can suffer from our over exuberant life styles and those bad habits can take over our lives.

Do you have an addiction that you would love to kick into touch but fear the consequences of being successful in beating that habit? YOU CAN CONQUER ALL BAD HABITS AND ADDICTIONS. Coaching Counselling or Therapy You might have been to counselling before, or even had a therapist, but did not achieve the results that you thought you could have in the time and at the cost that this incurred.

It will cost nothing but you will achieve so much. A FREE CONSULTATION IS THERE FOR THE TAKING. Conquering Fear There is no living being on this planet that does not have fears in their life and more to the point, feel that they cannot gain control of such fears and conquer them completely. What fears are holding you back from self fulfilment in this world today, that with the right support can be so easily overcome, to such a point that they may diminish completely thus allowing you to grow and excel to the utmost of your true potential. ALL FEARS ARE A CHALLENGE AND CAN BE COMPLETELY OVERCOME.
Looming Changes on the Horizon Just think for a brief moment of the many changes that have occurred to you in the last few years alone, more importantly, what changes are looming on the horizon? Change is all around us, whether it be moving house, changing your career, bereavement or a shift in your financial situation. We are all governed by change which occurs in our lives each and every day, but even more importantly, it’s how we cope with such change that directly affects our own behaviour. How have you dealt with our changing world and more importantly, what did you achieve in such circumstances that, having looked back over the years, could have been so much different? Renewed Perspective This is where the Life Coach comes in, looking back in retrospect is a good thing, it makes us who we are today. However, what if you had someone to give you impartial advice, another perspective, a branch to investigate or a further avenue to follow? So many questions to be answered, but how about giving those questions to someone else for an alternative point of view. Accepting the Challenge It is a stated fact that given the opportunity of seeking the help of a Life Coach to help us through so many of the challenges that we have been presented in life, would maybe have afforded a different and more fruitful course in the direction our lives could have taken. It may be that the course of life does not change to that of now, but it may be that more could have been achieved with greater ease and less hardship. Sustained Happiness Look around you at the amount of people who seem to sustain happiness in the world today. Do you wish that you could have the same continuity that they have in their lives? We all tend to lose the happiness that we first found in our lives over a period of time and wish that we could sustain that excitement, the lush veneer that had such an attractive sheen to it giving us the edge over others. Purpose in Life We all have a sense of purpose in life, but lose that perspective every now and then. The mid life crisis is that crashing point that we all experience and feel that we have lost our way in the world today. Our sense of purpose makes us who we are and more importantly where we fit in our lives. We can feel that sense of purpose once again and know our rightful place in society, in our job and in our home life and various social circles. Work/Life Balance Work/Life balance is such a topical subject in our lives today, with so many people suffering from stress, induced from too many long working hours that encroach upon our personal lives. We often get this balance totally wrong by losing the true value of our family and friends, so that we can impress the boss to be valued in our workplace. This can easily be overcome with a renewed outlook on the important things in our lives that we often take for granted. Increased Motivation You might feel that your motivation is dwindling slightly or even dissipating completely. This is only natural as we try to meet all the demands of our daily lives. Deadlines, commitments, timelines, targets, working projects, daily tasks and chores all take their toll from our motivation to get things done. You can overcome this energy sapping process by gaining control and prioritising that never ending list, but even that takes time in itself to do. The coaching process can help you keep on top of all this and more. Realistic Goals and Target Setting Take control of your life now through realistic goals and target setting with your coach. Work through the process of discovering what goals you can achieve and what targets you can actually meet. Look at this particular aspect like a path of stepping stones that have not yet been set in concrete and allow your coach to assist you in getting these real foundations for progress placed down in the right order, step by step. Facilitation of Progress Life Coaching is a process of facilitation for your progress between you the client and whoever may be coaching you at the time, which will occur throughout the nature of your particular circumstances. Your initial desire to enhance your present life style is the first stage in getting the most from your life in the long run, starting with the here and now, today. You set out the rules for your life and your coach will facilitate the enhancement of your desires and wishes that you express through the various methods adopted by your coach. Fulfilment of Your Life To get to the point of self fulfilment in your life is an arduous task indeed that may take a lifetime to achieve. You can speed up this particular aspect of your life and get back that feeling you experienced when sitting back and being really pleased with yourself, through your efforts, in whatever tasks, aims and objectives you may have accomplished. Self fulfilment is a feeling of self actualisation that is hard to find without being guided to the pinnacle of the real you. Now you can take the opportunity to get that guidance, seek those alternatives and explore those options that you never really considered in the past. The past is the past, this is the here and now and the here and now is what makes the future. Regain Control We all lose control over our lives; for there are forces out in the big wide world that we have no control over, but we can most certainly influence the amount of control that we may lose. Perspective, insecurity, guilt and even fears can cause us to sometimes let go of things that makes us lose our grip on reality resulting in a loss of pace in life. Life Coaching can get back the control that you may have lost, it can gain the edge that you want making you more secure in the world, where guilt and fear, healthy as it is, can be a thing of the past. You control your life, so you should control those particular influences that can often take control of you. Endless Possibilities Just look at the many websites that advertise Life Coaching, many of them are very comprehensive and show that the possibilities are endless. The fruits of success are there for the taking, so let your Life Coach help you grow and mature, for our lives all require a little maintenance, a small amount of pruning and shaping to become whatever we want to be. |
