What is Life Coaching?

Life coaching is fun!

Life coaching is increasingly recognised as a simple, fast and powerfully effective means of creating change for the better. It's an ideal approach for anyone who's ready to break with past limiting beliefs and behaviour to create a compelling future.  Coaching can be applied in every area of your life. Including getting rid of bad habits and adopting good ones.

Life coaching is not advice and I do not give advice. As a coach I work with you to help you derive the answers for what changes to make from within yourself. I do that by asking the right questions and helping you explore your options. You are always in charge. I am a resourceful coach and may offer suggestions or perspectives from many varied wisdom traditions. But it is you, the client that chooses what to do next. You are the only person who can sort out your problems!  Life coaching is a great way of building a strong and abiding sense of who you are, intellectually, physically, emotionally, and spiritually.  This kind of self knowledge is the core of high self esteem, which in turn is a platform for visionary decision making and powerful action taking. After all, how fulfilled, balanced, rewarding, successful or enjoyable our life will be is determined every day by the behaviours, thoughts and choices we use -- especially when we face opportunities, dilemmas, challenges and decisions, in both our personal and professional lives. 

You dream, you define success, you decide how to make it come true.  We co-create a strategy, You are inspired to take action, we team up to get you there. I support, encourage and challenge you along the way. Coaching works because of the unique relationship between the coach and the client.  The coach focuses 100% on you, on what you want from life and how to get it. The coach is supportive with being interfering, challenging without being judgmental. Asking for support with life changes is a strength manifested by responsible, proactive and intelligent people, or couples.

Coaching thrives on honesty, openness and a willingness to accept the challenge to change.  It's about empowering you to come up with your own answers rather than giving you advice.  The coach uses penetrating questioning to elicit in you new ways of thinking, which means new answers, learning and action -- closing the gap between where you are and where you want to be. In most cases there are no-quick fixes to our lives, many Life Coaching challenges and assignments will require a long term commitment on your part.

Is life coaching a fad?

Is the pursuit of happiness a fad?  Is asking for help a fad?  Is asking for help in the pursuit of happiness a fad? Life coaching was born in America and gained significant ground during the dot.com boom. A new generation of people with plenty of money, and the desire to be very successful noticed they felt the unhappy downside of living out of balance and out of touch with themselves.  Is this all there is to life they cried?  Life coaching was created to help people tune into themselves and get happy.  It will not be a fad!

To prepare for working with a coach

To prepare for working with a life coach you need to budget time in your diary for a weekly session of around 75mins. I often provide homework and self study. When we work together we create a sanctifying space; if you like, you can make that space special, in your own way.  Some people like candles, symbols, incense etc. while others prefer to be very formal and business-like -- its all ol, it is your time, just be you.

Do you have a contract?

When we start working together I do invite you to sign a small symbolic contract to yourself, basically contracting yourself to be committed to your life coaching efforts.  It is up to you to hold yourself to the program... with my support of course.

You are free at anytime to adjust or stop the coaching relationship if you feel it is not working.  And reciprocally, an important point is that I am careful to watch for when clients are no longer benefiting from our coaching relationship and thus would be better served by another coach or by another resource; at that time, I will encourage my client to make that change. 

Take a look at my Terms and Conditions.

Imagine what you could achieve if you had someone who is 100% committed to your success, who spurs you on every week.  who is more than a friend or relative, who won't be jealous of you ambition and shoot you down, someone who is dedicated to helping you improve every area of your life.

If you could do one thing today that would change your life forever, what would that be?... Will you do it?

 

My Personal Coaching Philosophy

Do what you always did, get what you always got.

I do not have the answers and do not give advice. I do have the questions and you have all the answers. Being authentically aware of your self purpose is the foundation of your stunning personal power. Power that drives your talent for certainty, allows you to conquer small projects and will create exactly the future that you dream of and ask for. Our work together will remind you in both obvious and subtle ways to find your true calling in life, and to provide you with tools to help you on your quest.

If you choose to, you can tune into your essence and put your personal power to work. This journey may require support, support that is effectively bestowed on you by a Life Coach. As you research working with a Life Coach, you will discover that every coach is different.  We all have different niches, personalities and styles. You will also see that there are hundreds of coaches out there, and even more companies ready to train you up to be a coach. It seems so easy to become a coach!  Invest time to find the right coach for your current needs.  Work with an experienced coach, who has worked with many people in many situations, give yourself the best. Your relationship with your coach is a very special one; you will know when you have found your coach -- it will feel "right". I also life coach couples!

My coaching creates an alliance between two equals for the purpose of meeting your needs. You are naturally creative, resourceful, and whole. My natural approach to Life Coaching is effective for responsible, intelligent, motivated and successful people. 

I am not a psychotherapist! My coaching talent is driven from the fabric of my being working in harmony with the richness of my own life experiences. My invigorative approach focuses on the power to be found in the peak experiences of your life, rather than past issues. Together we fight the enemy of fear and the retarding effects of living in a culture that is saturated with notions of blame and judgement. My life-experiences as a switched-on entrepreneur and CEO allow me to excel with professional coaching clients. My own spiritual journey has shown me that the authentic self is the foundation of purpose, passion and happiness in this Life. This gift of Self-awareness is one that I share with great vigour and is an integral part of my work. Do what you love, love what you do, and deliver more than you promise.

Having now worked with hundreds of clients I find that most relationships settle into a balance between the utterly practical (strategies, plans, timelines and action) and the practically spiritual (purpose, meaning, self-realisation).  Together we find that balance and I am able to respond to every individual on a case by case basis.

When you allow me, my goal as a coach is to guide you into moments where all the answers reveal themselves. To be fully responsible to your uniqueness I work with warmth, insight and intelligence to reveal to you what you are in the seed of your spirit. Shifts can be Intellectual or insightfully simple. I think of life coaching as enabling clients to access the resources they need to respond creatively to their current or future life demands.  The vast majority of these resources are located within You; even external resources are dependent on your internal resource of being able to effectively ask for assistance!  

You, the client creates the agenda and we design our alliance together. With my help, you will look deep inside to get to know yourself, your strengths and your limitations.  You will discover:

  • Who are you? -- your purpose, your intentions, your motivations
  • What do you really want? -- you vision, your decision to proceed, certainty
  • What's stopping you? -- what you fear, what holds you back, where you sell-out
  • How are you going to get there?  -- Re-invention, the master plan

I trust that this website will find its way to those who are ready for transformation of their life situation and so act as a catalyst for it. In my work, I am in pursuit of delivering a premium quality life coaching service. I always work to help you explore your inner-being, to regain balance in your personal and professional life and to align with your true values, life purpose and fullest potential.

Take up the challenge of confident ongoing change. My coaching focuses on your inner guidance, purpose, skills, beliefs, techniques and processes necessary to take you into a great future. Live and love more abundantly and die contented.

Sometimes in our culture, learning to love ourselves can be one of our greatest challenges. If we understand that creating loving kindness toward ourselves is the first step in cultivating loving kindness toward the world, then we can perhaps glimpse the relevance and importance of this practice.
