What is Life Coaching?

Life Coaching is about helping you move forward in a focused and structured way at your pace and to your agenda so you can become the person you really want to be.

Coaching is an investment in your future. In Coaching, we do not dwell on the past. We begin with the present and assist clients in setting very clear and specific goals for the future. Through coaching you will challenge your thoughts and assumptions, develop a positive mental attitude and beliefs that work for you, improve your morale, self-esteem, and confidence. The focus is on movement and taking action.

Hiring a coach allows you to have somebody exclusively there for you to act as a sounding board, to share your innermost thoughts without being judged. A coach will be impartial in a way a partner, best friend or family member would find difficult. A coach will support and encourage you to fulfill your potential, take control of your life and make it what you really want it to be.

Can I be my own Life Coach?

We think that people with the right amount of self-discipline can be. What we can provide you is the tools and advice you need to follow and then it’s up to you to make sure you take action and follow them. If you are too easy on yourself and ‘let yourself off the hook’ every time you fail to take action you promised you would take then it’s not going to work very well. However if you are able to write down your plans and stick to them, learn and understand the life coaching tools and techniques and apply them – if in effect you are capable of wearing 2 hats, one as the coach and one as the coachee, then there is no reason why you can’t be your own coach.

This is not to say coaching yourself will be as easy as working with a qualified coach – of course it won’t be. The only difference is that being your own coach is free and hiring a coach obviously costs money. A good coach will ask the right questions, keep you on track, motivate you, shine a light on the answers you always had within you and support you in the kind of non-judgemental way that only a good qualified coach and no-one else in the world can.

So – we believe an investment in coaching is one of the best investments you’ll ever make. That being said we also believe in helping people and knowing that not everyone will want to part with their money we want to at least help you do what you can for free if that’s the route you want to take.

What we can guarantee you is that though the life coaching articles on this site are free, they do not compromise in any way in quality, being provided by professional, experienced, qualified coaches. Please Note: we are not trying to sell more coaching here, far from it, we have enough clients (which for us is a small number) and are not particularly looking for more. Self coaching is just not as tailored or personal as a 1-2-1 arrangement would be, but it doesn’t mean to say you can’t do it. We put a LOT of effort into the free articles posted here and we wouldn’t bother if we didn’t think they would work.
