Life
Coaching - What Type of Person?
|
|
Life coaching is effective for
well-functioning, outwardly successful (perhaps inwardly empty) men and women,
partnered or single, aged 20 - 55 who are ready and willing to change their
lives. My clients do not tend
to be celebrities or
big-shots (though even they are only human and are most welcome!). My natural
approach to Life Coaching is effective for responsible, intelligent, motivated
and successful people. With alacrity, I partner with intelligent, successful
people who want to excel at their passion, gifts and unique talents. My clients include
CEOs, entrepreneurs, executives, lawyers, directors, managers,
professionals, freelancers, creative people and
people who are not aware of what they are here for. I have personally been
involved or exposed to many professions and businesses; it often it helps to
have some insight as to how their career or industry works when coaching
clients. Get in touch if you have an unusual business idea, I am always ready
for new challenges!
Are you Coachable?
Yes, if...
-
You want to be responsible for your life.
-
You are intelligent, enthusiastic and committed to getting more out of life.
-
You realize that if you "Do what you have always done, you will get what you have always gotten."
-
You know that change will put you on the path of your dreams.
-
You are action-oriented about improving your life.
-
You are committed to being the best you can be, not just in one area of your life, but in your entire life.
Some of us are aware of the way that our authentic nature manifests in
our lives – as a direct result of the challenges that arrive on a daily basis;
while others wander through their lives, oblivious.

Coach -- Some typical Life Coaching assignments
So what do people use a life
coach for? We are all pilgrims. Have you ever stopped to
think… Where
am I on my journey?
We all awaken to different
aspects of ourselves at different times in our lives. The following scenarios outline some of the types of life-coaching engagements
that I have worked on (modified for confidentiality). You can see how clients
are at different stages of their unique
journey. In each case I was able to
align with, and then work as a catalyst for my client; helping them find their
own answers so that they could move onto the next phase of their unfolding
life-journey, comfortably. My
customised work in all cases took place at a spiritual, revealing, nurturing,
supporting, purposeful, intuitive, strategic, realistic and loving level of
discovery and self empowerment. Perhaps you can see
yourself in the following examples? It is not important. Every one of these
assignments is about change. More of something, less of
something. I can help you make changes, if
you are ready.

you in your life journey? Could you

chapter of your precious life?
When you wake up to a deep-felt knowing that you have to make changes,
perhaps now is the time to work with Great Life Coach?

Experienced
Coach -- People from all around the world
England
is a beautifully cosmopolitan place to live.
Many world travellers and relocated workers wash up in the UK. Often the life-situation that arises when we find ourselves out of our
usual comfortable environ gets us to re-evaluate what we are doing with our
lives.
Travellers,
Relocations, Immigrants, Foreigners, Visitors and Citizens of Planet Earth
When we
take up the challenge of a journey away from our homelands, we become our
own hero and we tend to be more attuned to the way that life unfolds out of
the present, creating paths, options, opportunities and lessons for us
on-the-fly. Travelling is so often
one of the freest and exciting times of our life.
It also reveals to us that we have a will, our own will.
We get to experiment with our will to make choices for ourselves both
in the micro-sense – shall I go to that bar again tonight, and in the
macro-sense – shall I settle down in this country, establish my career and
make the next phase of my life here? Sometimes
the latter becomes overwhelming and the help of a lifecoach can profoundly
help you establish the right choices to make (for you).
I often
work with folks from other countries and have helped people unravel the
following sorts of life-challenges.
- Shall
I stay in the
UK?
- relocating
to the UK and starting a new life
- Shall
I marry my beau and settle and have 8 kids?
- Shall
I extend my trip?
- Shall
I go back home… and then what?
- How
do I reconcile my home-sickness?
- My
husband was relocated and I need a life here!
- How
do I quit the bar and party scene (get a life!)
- How
do I juggle being a bohemian and an executive?
- What
is the right career path for me, I can’t temp for ever?
- My
travels have made me spiritually aware of myself, how do I embody that
gift into a working life?
I have
worked with Americans, Australians, Austrians, South Africans, Canadians ,
Egyptian, French, German, Polish, Italian, Kiwis, Dutch, Greek, Sri Lankans,
Greeks, Germans, Austrians, Swiss, Scots,
Irish and Yorkshiremen to name a few.
If you
are a guest to the UK, feeling uncertain, lost, stuck in a fog or in need of some supported
strategic thinking get in touch!
If you
live outside the UK, I also offer Telephone based
coaching worldwide.
I
am interested in working with a life coach
