What is life coaching?
Life coaching, for those of you definition
seekers, is guidance to uncover the best “you”.
According to the ICF, International Coach Federation,
“Coaching is an on-going partnership
that helps clients produce fulfilling results in
their personal, and professional lives. Through
the process of coaching, clients deepen their learning,
improve their performance, and enhance their quality
of life. Beginning with the client’s desires,
coaching uses reporting, exploring and a consistent
commitment to move the client forward. Coaching
accelerates the clients’ progress by providing
greater focus and awareness of choice. Coaching
concentrates on where clients are today and what
they are willing to do to get where they want to
be tomorrow.” You may be surprised to learn,
that even though the business of life coaching
is experiencing tremendous growth, it is not
a new concept at all. In fact… life coaching
is one of humanity’s oldest professions.
Along with trade smiths, hunters, fisherman, and
clergy, life coaches have spanned the centuries,
and have proven to be some of the most extraordinary
people that have ever lived. Most of you have
probably heard of a man named Jesus, and regardless
what your beliefs may be about the man, his approach
was one of opening the minds and hearts of others
that would otherwise not have seen. He, for instance,
and countless other pioneer teachers, have been
considererd by many, some of the most influential
life coaches of all time. For they offered to
people what they already obtained, which was the
power to recognize the gifts they've misplaced
or discarded. They summoned the wisdom that was
misplaced by daily routine… and had quite
a gift for it. Through the years, life coaching
has evolved in some of our greatest thinkers and
motivators. Ralph Waldo Emerson, Henry David Thoreau,
Napoleon Hill, Dale Carnegie, Sean Mcpheat, Debbie
Ford, Walter Belling, Theodore and Maria Robinson,
Leonard Jacobsen, Jerry and Esther Hicks, Albert
Einstein, Leonardo Da Vinci, Tony Robbins, Dr.
Wayne Dyer, Caroline Myss, Deepak Chopra, Meister
Echkhart, etc.. This list can go on and on, and
continues to grow with the increasing desire for
self-awareness.
We all have the potential to live a life of such
caliber. Regardless what religion, age, race,
gender, occupation, health, circumstance,
or creed… There are truths we can realize
together that can offer you a life you have not
even imagined in your dreams.
It has been said, that “when the
student is ready, the teacher will appear”
Soon to follow, will be a very simple realization…
“It is not that we must search and
learn who we are… all we need… is
to remember.”
Is Life Coaching
the same as therapy?
No. Therapy is for those of you who would like
to heal unresolved issues in your past. Life Coaching
is about your today…
And your today is a gift,
that is why it is called the Present!
You will learn how living in the “NOW”
can release you of any restrictions you have agreed
to. We will piece together a number of consecutive
“now’s”, and before you know it
we will summon your tomorrow.
A life coach does not prescribe medication, nor
give advice for plans of action. They will listen,
offer feedback upon your thoughts, and guide “You”
to summon your own desires. It is all about you
taking responsibility, and awakening the power
within…
It's about taking action!
So why would you consider
Life Coaching?
Well, the asking of the question, is itself the answer.
Sometimes we need to cease looking for the same
answers, and finally decide to start asking different
questions. There is room for improvement in every
single being on this planet. It doesn’t
matter how happy we may be, or how much money
we make. Life is learning. It is about discovering
who we really are, and how we can offer our best
self to the world. Rather than letting the day
itself offer its circumstances, wouldn’t
it be exciting to learn how to create your own?
Coaching is that little voice that you hear,
when you are about to make a decision… your conscience… given life.
It is about living the unique life that you had
in store to begin with, while letting go of the limiting
beliefs that you have acquired along your way.
Your Coach :
- is your
motivator
- your conscience alive
- your eye of the storm
- pushes you to achieve
- your constant, and unending supporter
- your reflection of you
- your guidance system on those lost roads
- your personal trainer to build the life you
have designed
- your safety in the dark night
- your clarity when making decisions
- your mentor
- keeps you prepared
- offers positive feedback to strive
- your partner in business and life
- your spiritual awakening
A reporter once asked Michelangelo how he created
a certain beautiful sculpture. He answered, “
The beauty was already there, hidden beneath, I
did nothing more than remove the excess stone.”
That’s what we will begin to do…
remove your excess stone, so we can uncover the
real, beautiful you.
And You Are Beautiful! Amazing! And Perfect!
Most people have their own definitions of success.
Many though, will not leave their “comfort
zone”, so they find difficulty and confusion
getting what they want. In fact, some of
you might not be aware of exactly what it is you
“really want” yet… It is truly
OK! We will find your purpose… and mixed with
passion… you will find your bliss.
We will be there every step of the way, to assist
you in custom designing a life you are proud to
live.

… and many more
A Life Coach is not much different from an athletic
coach. Every athlete needs a coach. We are here to
pinpoint your strengths and enhance your performance.
Given the same analogy… If you were playing
a specific sport, we would motivate you, practice
with you, and inspire courage to use your talents
to the fullest.
Yet…in the end, you are the one that has
to make the shot!
By taking part in a few personal evaluations,
and through provoking questions… You will
awaken the guidance that you might not have noticed
all along.
From time to time, we may ignore the little miracles
that occur right in front of us. The little blessings
that we would have otherwise pleaded for, yet
we sometime concentrate so intensely on their
absence, that we fail to notice their appearance.
