Understanding the Benefits and Process
As we navigate through life, we often encounter obstacles and challenges that can hinder our growth and progress. Whether it’s personal or professional goals, we may feel lost or unsure of how to achieve them. This is where a life coach can be beneficial. In this article, we’ll explore the benefits of hiring a life coach and the process of working with one.
What is a Life Coach?
A life coach is a trained professional who works with individuals to identify and achieve their goals. Unlike therapy, which focuses on healing past traumas and emotional issues, life coaching is focused on helping individuals move forward and make positive changes in their lives. Life coaches use various tools and techniques to help individuals gain clarity, set goals, and take action.
Benefits of Hiring a Life Coach
There are numerous benefits to hiring a life coach, including:
Clarity and Direction
One of the primary benefits of hiring a life coach is gaining clarity and direction in your life. A life coach can help you identify what you want to achieve and develop a plan to get there.
Increased Self-Awareness
A life coach can help you develop greater self-awareness, allowing you to understand your values, strengths, and weaknesses. This can help you make better decisions and take actions that align with your goals and values.
Improved Accountability
A life coach provides accountability and support, helping you stay on track and motivated towards your goals. This can be particularly helpful for those who struggle with procrastination or self-doubt.
Overcoming Obstacles
A life coach can help you identify and overcome obstacles that are preventing you from achieving your goals. This can include limiting beliefs, negative thought patterns, or fear of failure.
Increased Confidence
Working with a life coach can help you build confidence in yourself and your abilities. This can help you take risks, try new things, and ultimately achieve greater success in all areas of your life.
Hi, Kristal here. I am a Life and Wellness Coach. People hire me for all sorts of reasons. They want to make significant changes, they want to better deal with uncertainty, they want to make better decisions, they want to set better goals or reach their goals faster, they want to get ahead professionally, they want to have a collaborative partner, they want to improve their relationships, they want to improve their health, and more. When you are my client our sessions are all about you. What you want to work on, what is on your mind, how you are growing, where you are stuck. I acknowledge how hard you work and partner with you to find solutions and take action.
Tolerations in life
I have my own coach and it is really powerful to have 45 minutes to work on whatever I need to resolve or just be heard about something bugging me. As your coach, I help you go deeper to figure out your true values and your integrity to decide what changes need to be made or what can be left behind because it no longer serves you. As your coach, we can work on things like tolerations. I was amazed when I started working on mine how those little items, like fixing a door handle, can drain on you without you even realizing it. You know what I mean those items around the house that we are going to fix or change someday. When you stop and really think about it how many days have gone by and those things are still not fixed? They drain our energy, a lot of times without us really being aware of it. Just try this go fix something small that you have been putting up with and see how you feel, amazing isn’t it? I, as your coach, help you find those things and help you work through them, and trust me when I say this there are a lot of tolerations you are putting up with.
So, why hire a life coach? Besides tolerations in our homes, there are things that you want to work on for yourself. Maybe you would like to be more patient, maybe you would like to find some free time to garden or do something creative, maybe you would like to speak up more, and the list goes on. As your coach I partner with you to find out what your interests are, your likes and dislikes, what motivates you, and what slows you down, then I partner with you to tailor steps or actions that work for you. Everybody wants to live their best life, to enjoy this journey we are all on as your coach I partner with you to help you achieve that. Our sessions are always about you and only you. I am here to listen to you. I appreciate what you have to say and where you are on your journey. As your coach, I am here to help you bridge that gap from where you are now to where you want to be next week, month, year, or even year.
Being really heard
There are many, many reasons to hire a life coach, but one of the biggest I find is that it is all about you and only you and I cannot stress that enough. At the end of your work day, you come home and your spouse asks how was your day? So you tell them how great or how awful it was and your spouse says oh and then goes on to talk about their day. They really do not listen to you. They mean well and they may hear you, but they usually don’t spend the next 45 minutes asking questions and going deeper into what you are talking about. They want to talk about their day as well or while you are speaking they are thinking of a relatable story of their own. A life coach does not do that. Sessions are only about you. We partner with you to explore new areas or take a hard look at old areas. As a life coach, we look forward, not backward. Life coaches help you move forward. I am all about your growth and your changes.
I am your life coach your cheerleader. Whatever it is you want to change even if it is yourself. I talk to you as you. I am not talking to you as your parent or your spouse or your boss. As your coach, we work on what is important to you and we figure out steps that are in alignment with who you are. Having a life coach is life-changing. Most people have someone in their lives they can talk to about things, but they don’t have that person that is really listening to them, acknowledging where they are, and partnering with them so they can move forward. As your coach, I work hard to understand where you are right now and where you want to be.
There are as many options for meeting with your life coach as there are life coaches. Each life coach has his or her own way of meeting clients. Some life coaches call you at a set time, some life coaches have you call them at a set time, some life coaches have offices that you can go to and meet face to face with them, and other life coaches do all their meetings online.
