As a coach I don't have any answers. Many people seem to think a 'life coach' will tell you or give advice about how to live. How could it be possible that I would know better than you how you should live your life. I am still learning how to live myself! Only you can understand and change your life.
However, here are three things you do get with a coach
1. The opportunity to listen to yourself and the world around you. To wake up to your life, wake up to the issues and potential in your life and live from there. Any real changes to our life can only start when we know where we are starting from. A coach wakes you up to yourself and your life- the whole of your life, not just the best and the worst bits which can get in the way. Until we wake up to the life we are living now, how can we know what we want to change?
2. The opportunity to discover what really matters and holds meaning and value.
What we value is as individual as we are, what we value is born of what we need and although there are many basic needs we all require to flourish, some needs are individual. When you know what really really matters, life has more meaning and direction. Feeling fulfilled happens when we live congruent to our values. With a coach you really get to know what it feels like to honour your values and fulfil your needs. We inherit a lot of our values, my clients learn to recognise conflicting values and to become more emotionally intelligent. If you feel you are living someone else's life and not your own, whose needs are being met and more importantly why?
3. Get into action!
They say that action without vision is a nightmare and vision without action is a daydream. A coach is there to support and champion you to make your daydreams real. It is very hard to do something alone, I know, I could get a degree in procrastination! Having someone to share the nitty gritty doing is the role of a coach. The coach helps you to find the space and opportunity to take the right first steps- challenges you to take them, supports you when it is hard, and is there to celebrate along the way. How far you want to travel, and in what direction is up to you!
