What is Life Coaching?

Coaching is a unique relationship that provides the client with a safe place to explore and experiment with new ways of being, doing, and having. The coach and client are not limited to the traditional constructs of mother, father, church, and state. The focus is on creating a life that is authentically yours.

What is the basic philosophy of coaching?

Coaching is based in the belief that there is nothing wrong with people. That people are not broken and don’t need fixing. That each individual is really perfect just the way they are. The only reason people don’t have more of what they want and need is they are underdeveloped in the area’s of awareness, consciousness, and life skills. Coaching therefore focuses on increasing an individual’s awareness and developing them in the area of life skills.

Who hires a coach, and why?

Business owners and professionals hire a coach to help them make and keep more money. Managers use a coach to master their leadership skills and produce extraordinary results. New coaches hire a mentor coach to guide them through the process of starting their own practice. People who are ready to gain extraordinary insight into themselves and be on the fast track of personal growth. People hire a coach to help them redefine success and to help them find more meaning in their lives.

What happens when you hire a coach?

The simple process of hiring a coach can often produce immediate results. Most people find they are more focused, make better decisions, respond quicker to opportunities, feel better about them physically and emotionally. With the support of a coach people tend to take more risks then they would on their own thereby accelerating ones life success radically.

Why does coaching work?

Coaching works because client and coach are consistently focusing on what the client wants and who the client need to be in order to achieve their goals. Coaching provide the much needed structure that many clients need to be their best. Clients will go for more knowing they are not alone. Coach is trained to listen for and press for the truth. The client learns to make decisions, and take action based on the truth verses fantasies, hopes, and false assumptions. Coach and client become a trusted team and creative alliance.

How does coaching work?

1. We set up 3 phone appointments each month (length depends on the program you choose).
2. You call me at a specified time each week.
3. I ask thought-provoking, insightful and sometimes penetrating questions.
4. As you answer, a deep and meaningful dialogue (between us) will occur. You’ll see things about your self, your relationships and your projects that you never saw before. Things that were confusing will become clear. It’s magic. New ideas, strategies and specific action plans will become obvious.
5. I will listen very carefully to what you say AND to what you don’t say (yes, I can do that!) Often I’ll have insights or intuitive notions about things you are feeling but not saying, or things that you should do but are afraid to try. I’ll encourage, and sometimes cajole you to greater accomplishments and grander visions.
6. You may ask me a few questions along the way. I’ll answer them either through my experience, my vast knowledge of esoteric wisdom, my intuition or just tell you I don’t know.
7. You’ll continue to create and experience who you really are. It’ll be rewarding, intimate and fun.

Maybe you’d like to…

=> start a business
=> find new love
=> get a new career (or a raise)
=> lose weight
=> get your child(ren) to behave better
=> or something else

No matter what you’d like to  change or achieve, the secrets to success are the same…

#1: Get clear. As specifically as possible, decide what you want. The more clear you are on what you want to have in your life, the more likely you are to achieve it.

#2: Get perspective. Most people don’t tell anyone what they want or what they are struggling with and because of that they don’t get an outside perspective.

#3: Get support. Very few people (if any) achieve anything great alone. Sports stars have teammates and coaches. Be willing to ask the people in your life to support you.

Although the concepts of professional and personal coaching have been around for several decades, the concept of ADHD coaching was first addressed in the 1994 book, Driven to Distraction,¹ by Edward M. Hallowell, M.D., and John J. Ratey, M.D.

ADHD coaching seeks to address the daily challenges of living with ADHD. A coach helps people with ADHD carry out the practical activities of daily life in an organized, goal-oriented, and timely fashion. Through a close partnership, an ADHD coach helps the client learn practical skills and initiate change in his or her daily life. A coach may help an adult with ADHD:

• Maintain focus to achieve identified goals
• Translate abstract goals into concrete actions
• Build motivation and learn to use rewards effectively

Through regular interactions, coaches learn how the symptoms of ADHD play out in the daily lives of their clients and then provide encouragement, recommendations, feedback, and practical techniques to address specific challenges. They may offer reminders, raise questions, or suggest time management methods (see the related What We Know sheets on time management and organizing the home and office). Coaches ask questions to help the client come up with strategies and act on them. Examples of such questions are:

• What can you do about it?
• How can you motivate yourself to take action towards this goal?
• When must this action be completed?
• What steps have you taken already, and when will you take the remaining steps?

Regular meetings and check-ins are an essential part of the coaching process. These sessions can be conducted in person, by phone, or by e-mail, depending on the client’s preference. However, before the coaching process begins, the client and the coach should have an initial session that addresses issues such as client needs, expectations of the client and of the coach, and fees and payments (coaching services are often not covered by traditional health insurance). The first coaching session is typically an in-depth, 1-2 hour meeting to develop a step-by-step plan for identifying and achieving the client’s goals.

Why is a personal coach such an essential ingredient for success, particularly in the current environment? In a fast changing world, the traditional ways of achieving results no longer work effectively. Coaching concentrates on what works, using techniques that deliver impressive results FAST. Exactly what is required in today’s world.

Reasons to hire a personal life coach:

• Clearly define your goals and ambitions – Focus on what you really want, why you want it, and how you can get it
• Easily work within a well-defined structure, and ultimately do more than you would normally do by yourself
• Increase self-confidence and self-esteem
• Reduce the amount of stress and strain in your life
• Clear the clutter – in your environment and mind – that currently holds you back
• Replace habits that sabotage your success with new, self-supportive behaviors
• Stay motivated through both the “good” and “bad”
• Manage your To Do List and complete unfinished projects
• Stay accountable to yourself for accomplishing your goals
• Communicate more effectively, building strong, supportive relationships
• Increase your levels of energy, health and well-being
• Achieve financial independence and prosperity
• Realize your goals, ambitions, and highest potential
• Evaluating what personal success really means for you
• Focussing on your personal and professional goals
• Creating compelling and specific outcomes
• Improving your confidence
• Providing a completely confidential service
• Challenging your thoughts and behaviors constructively
• Improving your personal and professional relationships
• Reducing any internal stress or conflict
• Creating an excellent work life balance
• Developing the resources and self belief that will transform your future
• Increased sales and profit margins for business
• Guidance in setting up a new business as an entrepreneur
• Learning effective management skills as an executive
• Becoming a better motivational speaker
• Coping with loss of a employment or downsizing in the workplace

A coach will show you how to make the right choice, or a best choice in difficult circumstances, situations and decisions. Sometimes there’s no right or wrong decision, only that a decision must be made. A life coach will teach you to deal positively with the outcome of that decision, even if it goes against what you wish.

Hiring a life coach could just be the answer you’re looking for. To bring passion and excitement into your life, to bring dreams into reality, is the gift and ability of a true life coach.

Do I Need a Life Coach?

If you are wondering whether you need a life or personal coach, you should consider these questions?

Am I going through a major transition in life? If you are going through divorce, loss of a spouse, major employment change or other significant transition, you might consider hiring a personal coach. The coaching process tends to help you think more rationally and objectively about how these kinds of transitions will effect your life.

Am I losing my edge? Sometimes we hit a point in life where we feel we are losing our competitive edge. Maybe we’re just tired or have lost focus. A relationship with a personal or life coach can help you get back on track, find your motivation and regain focus. With a coach’s mentoring and accountability functions, he or she can help you regain some of the lost momentum.

Am I struggling with family and relationship issues? Maybe you are struggling with a marriage or relationship with a significant other. Perhaps your children are rebellious or in long-term trouble. While a life coach is not a family therapist, he or she can bring perspective and ideas for action that can help overcome these personal struggles.

Am I worried about my lifestyle? Have you become more sedentary and maybe put on a few pounds? Are you struggling with addictive behaviors like drugs, alcohol or pornography? Are you feeling down and discouraged frequently? Then perhaps a coaching and mentoring relationship could make a difference in your direction.

Am I open to constructive feedback and ready for change? If you are too sensitive and not feeling the need to change your life, then working with a personal and life coach may not be for you. There is real power in working with a skilled and well-trained life coach and if you are not ready for that resource in your life yet, you may want to wait until you are. A good coach challenges your life assumptions and practices and will help you see things differently. If you are enjoying the ruts in your life, wait until you are really ready to climb out before finding a coach.

Remember that you get out of the coaching experience what you put into it, so hire a personal coach when you’re ready to make changes, and devote your attention to doing the work. A coach can be a powerful asset, but they will work in a partnership with you, and you determine where you want that partnership to go.

When you hire a personal business, life, or success coach, your agenda becomes the driving force.  A coach does not try to push or manipulate you into doing what they want you to do.  The space is your space to talk about things you want to talk about and figure out.  It is where someone really wants to know what you want.

“Leadership is lifting a person’s vision to higher sights, the raising of a person’s performance to a higher standard, the building of a personality beyond its normal limitations.”  — Peter Drucker

Executive Coaching has become a popular management tool because it puts the emphasis where it belongs — on you. It is our belief that most people want to make a difference but often don’t know how. They desire optimal working relationships and want to meet corporate expectations, but often there is too little time to consider how one might address issues differently. Today many executives are taking it upon themselves to hire their own Executive Coach. Often times their companies will reimburse them. Their reasons vary. Perhaps they have picked up cues that indicate a need for refining their skills, or they may want to confront ineffective attitudes, or build a more effective team — but it is always about improving performance.

You Will Accomplish More, More Easily If You Take the Time to First Strengthen Your Personal Foundation.

WHO doesn’t want to accomplish more in life? Don’t most of us want more time? More money? More love? More satisfaction? Yet, isn’t our tendency to go for it rather than simply having it all come to us?

A strong personal foundation includes 10 distinct stepping stones which, when linked together, provide a solid yet personalized base on which to build one’s life. And, in a world which sometimes appears to be built on quicksand, we all need a personal foundation on which to depend.

These 10 stepping stones of a Personal Foundation are:

1. A past which you have fully completed.
2. A life which is based fully on integrity.
3. Needs which have been identified and fully met.
4. Boundaries which are ample and automatic.
5. Standards which bring out your best.
6. An absence of tolerations.
7. Choosing to come from a positive place.
8. A family which nurtures you.
9. A community which develops you.
10. A life fully oriented around your true values.

Anyone who is living a meaningful life must have a strong personal foundation so they can afford to look up at the stars instead of down at their feet. Having a strong personal foundation allows a person to fully use their skills and resources, because instead of constantly worrying about the fundamentals of their life, they are free to focus on the task at hand. The process of building a personal foundation also teaches a person how to eliminate and prevent many common problems that are usually thought of as an expected part of life.”

Where can you go for help in this area? A Coach who is uniquely trained to help clients strengthen their own foundation, and is a model of how well the process works.

A skyscraper doesn’t start at street level. In fact, the taller the building, the deeper the foundation. This holds true for people, too.
