The Value of a Life Coach
Michael Jordan had a coach. Tiger Woods has a coach. In the most important game of
all, who is your coach?
Life is full of many challenges and transitions, twists and turns.
We have all gone through periods in life when we are feeling blocked or stuck and can't
quite figure out the way to move forward.
We have all also gone through periods in our lives where we wished we had an objective,
experienced, compassionate person to help us navigate through our lives.
Perhaps many are feelings this way right now.
Welcome to the emerging field of life coaching.
The purpose of a life coach is generally not to tell you what to do but to provide the space
for you yourself to gain clarity on what YOU want in your life and expose the mental and
psychological limitations that are consciously or unconsciously preventing you from doing so.
Life Coaches generally check in with their clients weekly or bi-weekly to make sure they
are taking practical steps each week in moving forward in following the dreams of their
own highest self.
The ongoing relationship that is established can be extremely rewarding for both coach
and client. It is often a journey of tremendous inner discoveries and breakthroughs that
clearly manifest themselves in the practical outer world of one's life.
It is important for the client to keep in mind, that your coach is there to serve you. The
more honest you can be in the first session, and there after, about where you are in your
life and what you hope to get out of your sessions with your coach, the better results you
will see.
Life Coaches generally give sessions over the phone, though some offer other methods of
communications as well.
There are many different kinds of Life Coaches, and each are unique in their style,
personality and technique. Some specialize in particular aspects of your life such as
financial, relationship, nutrition, spiritual, etc. while others may take a more wider,
integrated and holistic approach. Some may have a particular focus such as gender, age
group, religious or spiritual path etc. while others again are more open in who they work
with.
Some people still feel there is an embarrassing stigma attached to seeking help from any
outside figure and view it as a sign of inferiority and weakness. The alternative view is
that there are few things that are more assertive and powerful than making the time and
financial investment in your self and in your future to hire a life coach toward your own
self-actualization. Many of the most successful people living today have life coaches, and
publicly credit their success in large part to their client-coach relationship.
Many of the greatest athletes in the world have had great coaches. To live a great life,
it can also be useful to have a great coach.
