Of all the personal development and performance improving techniques developed in the last century, life coaching is one of the newest, the fastest growing and the most effective. Its popularity stems from its pure simplicity and great results.

History
The concept of personal development and self-improvement have their roots in psycho-therapy and first came to public notice in the 1930’s with the initial momentum in the USA. From then until the mid 1980’s there were few breakthrough developments. Most procedures retained a level of ‘therapist and patient’ relationship where the source of a trauma or issue was sought to provide an indication of the ‘cure.’

This left many individuals with a general feeling that ‘there must be something more to life.’ Life coaching evolved to accommodate this need; once more, the momentum started in the USA. The new relationship became a partnership between coach and client with each equally and totally committed to the client’s desired and stated outcomes and goals.

Unlike therapy or counselling, life coaching starts from where you are now and helps you to get where you want to be. It thus helps you to find a clear purpose for your life, release the power that is within you already, reach your goals and fulfil your dreams. Life coaching is the best way to be the real… you.

Your personal life coach
Your life coach brings training, experience, care, skills and absolute confidentiality. You bring any concerns that you have about relationships, personal values and goals, work or business, career, financial issues, guilt, fear, anxieties, coping with retirement, loneliness and areas of unfulfilment (The list is endless).

Everyone, without exception, has a vast potential for happiness and success; a potential that is all too often unexplored and left unaccessed.
Your life coach awakens you to the amazing possibilities that you possess within you and shows you how to use them for the benefit of yourself, your family and your employer or staff.

The coaching session
During the early sessions you will work together to understand what is your purpose in life and define your own life plan. This has elements of goal setting but is proactive with an emphasis on goal achievement. Your coach will help you realise that you truly can be, do or have anything that you want. Your coach will be with you each step of the way as you turn that realisation into your new reality, as your change your defeats into your victories.

When a life coach helps you to define an action, it is not the action itself that is important. It is the results that derive from that action that create your success.

The format of the weekly telephone based sessions sustains your enthusiasm and determination to ensure that the results are lasting, beneficial changes – unlike the temporary ‘high’ that can follow an inspiring seminar or a motivational talk. Your coach will lead you through all the areas of your life – mind, body, emotions and spirit – as you feel led to share and without any judgement or criticism. The results speak for themselves!

People will soon no longer ask you, “Do you have a personal life coach?”
but rather “Who is your personal life coach?”

And remember… it does not matter where you are to benefit from life coaching. Most life coaching sessions in fact take place over the telephone (though face to face appointments are also possible).
