What is coaching?

Think of it like having a sports coach—someone you have that helps you run faster, jump higher, and shift beyond those frustrating habits that slow you down so that you can play your best game.

As a life coach, I do the same thing, but with the elements of YOUR LIFE. I specifically utilize an assessment tool that assists you in determining where you want to move forward to have the best fulfilling life.

These dimensions are from the Wellness Inventory Assessment tool. This tool helps you gain awareness in all aspects of your life. When you have a better understanding of your whole life, you can begin to make changes that integrate into a whole life system. This assessment tools helps peal away the layers of the onion, so to speak, to look at the inner core to reach a higher well-being. The following 12 dimensions of your life are profiled:

Who needs coaching?

Actually, coaching isn’t really for those who need it, but who WANT it and are ready to take their lives to the next level.

Consider coaching if:

• You keep reaching for something more, but you get in your own way.
• You want to find more meaning in life by discovering your true path.
• A big change or transition has occurred or is approaching.
• You want to create a higher well-being and be healthier with improved self-care.
• You want to find balance between work, family and personal time.
• Something is missing in your life. You might not even be sure what it is, but there is that empty feeling.
• There are more “HAVE TOs” in your life rather than “WANT TOs”
• You want to feel more fulfilled, inspired, motivated or truly alive.

What makes coaching so different and wonderful?

Imagine you want to learn how to ride a bike. There are many ways to go:

• A THERAPIST might help you discover all the blocks and traumas from your past that have kept you from learning to ride a bicycle before now, and why you may feel fearful about going forward at this time.
• A CONSULTANT might give you all the technical information about bicycles, their features, how to use them, and maybe even how to be “ergonomically correct” when you ride a bicycle.
• A MENTOR might explain everything to you as he or she actually gets on the bicycle and rides it for you, demonstrating how it's done.

These are all good approaches, but not for everyone.

If you really want to learn HOW to ride on your own…

A COACH will stand by you as you get on the bicycle, keep it steady, help you discover your balance, cheer you on, give you a little push from behind when you need it, run along beside you with encouragement, and then let go so you can do it on your own.

So, what’s the “bike” that you want to ride?
