WHAT IS LIFE COACHING?
Life coaching is the fast lane to personal success and excellence.
A Life Coach transforms their clients into positive goal driven people who fulfil their true potential and live their dreams. They help their clients do this far quicker than they ever could by themselves.
A Life Coach will charge anything between £20 to £100 an hour, or maybe more, depending on how successful they are, and how many clients they have. Whilst this may sound expensive most clients, at the end of the coaching period, comment that they would have been pleased to have paid double the fee for what they have achieved through the coach’s assistance. Most people require between six to twelve sessions. Life coaching should be powerful intervention over a short period of time.
A Life Coach believes that their client has the answers within themselves, and through skilful questioning uncovers the answers from within the client.
The ease and quality of one’s life is inversely proportional to the difficulty of the questions one asks oneself. Easy questions result in a difficult life, difficult questions result in an easy life. An example of an easy question would be “What shall I watch on the TV tonight?” A difficult question would be “What one thing can I do today that would propel me nearer to fulfilling my most important goal?”
FIVE DAILY POWER QUESTIONS

| 4) What have I learned today? |
| 5) How can I go the extra mile for someone today? |

IMAGINE
Imagine a relationship where the aim is to listen to and focus only on you, on your goals and dreams in life, and on what will help you achieve them.
Imagine someone who is intent on understanding all that you communicate – who listens to:
Not just your words but what’s behind them – what’s lying in the spaces between those words
To the language of your body
To the nuances of your voice and looks
To how you show you are really feeling
To the very best aspects of you, even when you can’t see them in yourself;
To what you believe about yourself
To what you truly want in life.
And who will work with you and only for you in:
Planning how to reach your dreams and goals and
Keeping you moving forward toward them.
Imagine a relationship with someone:
Who is totally curious about your dreams and aspirations and wants you to get there
Who really wants to know what makes you tick
Who can help you to identify and to work with your values
Who wants you to live in accordance with your passions
Who will explain and work with you to use tools for growth and learning that lead to the results you want
Who is sometimes even more certain and focussed on achieving your aspirations than you are.
Imagine what it would be like if someone knew your values and life purpose and was holding you true to them:
Someone who would hold the flag at the top of the hill
Encouraging you to press on
Someone to celebrate your victories with And help you to learn from your set backs
|
Imagine a relationship with someone who will absolutely tell you the truth:
The truth about where you are strong
Where you sell yourself short
Someone who knows you can handle it and knows that’s what you want.
Someone who sees how BIG you can be and constantly holds that big image for you – even when you can’t hold it for yourself.
Imagine someone who listens to you:
Without judgement and allows you to show emotion
In fact accepts you without analysing you.
Imagine you get to talk to this person regularly:
When you’ve just made a mess of things
When you’ve just had a great success
Imagine a relationship where you finally break free of those self-limiting conversations you’ve been having over the years where the voices of sabotage are simply noticed for what they are and the powerful part of you is always encouraged.
This is the place you visit regularly and consistently… to consolidate, to integrate, to find your inspiration again and push on.
