What is Life Coaching? 
These days time is so precious we feel we cannot afford to waste a moment. People come to coaching because they want their lives to be different. Maybe they are looking for change or have an important goal they would like to reach. Perhaps they want to be more successful or more satisfied at work; they may want to create more direction and balance in their lives or to get more out of life – more simplicity, more peace of mind, more pleasure. 

 

‘The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams’ Eleanor Roosevelt




Sometimes it’s a case of more being less – less stress, less financial pressure. In general people use Life Coaching to achieve a better quality of life, more fulfilment, a healthier balance or to employ new processes to accomplish their life’s desire.

How does Life Coaching work? 
As a Professional Life Coach I act as a catalyst, partnering you as you take steps to transform your life. I help you to bring out your personal best, help you clarify where you are now, where you want to be and how to get there. I’ll encourage you to rejuvenate your life on your terms. 
After an initial face to face session, we will keep in contact via telephone and email on a weekly basis. I will set you tasks and exercises, rejoice in your triumphs, support you through difficult times and challenge and inspire you to achieve real results. 

Why should I get a Life Coach? 
Are you ready to take your life to the next level? Do you lack the motivation to reach your goals? Maybe you become frustrated at setbacks? Perhaps you want to make a specific life change and need the courage to do so? Maybe you are dissatisfied with a particular aspect of your life be it career, retirement, relationships, financial security? Maybe you’d like less stress in your life, more balance? 
If so, maybe I can help you. I’m a professional Life Coach and my goal is to help you achieve yours. 

How can I use Life Coaching to change my life? 
Imagine a relationship where the total focus is on you, what you want from life and how you can realise that. Coaching is a relationship which constantly offers an extraordinary level of support and encouragement. Imagine someone not only hearing what you are saying, but listening to what is behind your words, who listens to you without judgement. Imagine someone who will hold you accountable and keep you moving forwards towards your dreams and goals. Imagine a relationship with someone who is curious about your dreams and aspirations. Imagine a relationship where you can break free from those self limiting conversations you’ve been having over the years, where those voices of defeat and sabotage are recognised for what they are. It is like having your own personal guide in your life journey, someone who will help you find your way and stay on course 

Is it done on a 1:1 basis or in a group?
Life Coaching usually takes place on a 1:1 basis; the relationship focuses on getting the results clients want. The coaches job is to help the client articulate their dreams, wants, needs and aspirations, help them clarify their tasks, purpose and goals and help them achieve their desired outcome. 

Where did Life Coaching come from? 
Coaching isn’t new; it has been with us for as long as people have had the desire to improve. Coaching originated with the Greeks who had a few other good ideas like democracy, logic and medicine. 
The Greeks were interested in lots of things including sports, and they invested heavily in working out how to make good athletes into champions. They turned to experts in boosting performance – these experts became known as coaches.  Coaching was a process that turned gifted natural athletes into champions who won in the ancient Olympic Games. Today every competitor in the modern Olympics surrounds themselves with coaches. 
The reason for coaching in sports is obvious; people who want to become the best in the world need individualised attention from professionals. It’s not enough to learn general principles or to gather more information. Champions need people to show them where they aren’t realising their full potential and to guide them through the process of turning that potential into performance gains. 

What would be the duration of the Coaching? 
The Life Coaching relationship is usually contracted on the basis of 6 months coaching. After this initial period the contract is extended on a monthly basis by agreement with the coach and client. One months notice is required for cessation of the contract from either party.
