A coach of life and
mind listens. Really listens. For
breakthrough
coaching, he listens with empathy and mindfulness and
without judgment. Both to what you are saying and what
you are not saying. Have you ever been listened to so
well that you started to think what you were saying
might really matter? That it was important? That's
coaching from a peer. When you're listened to closely
enough, you can actually start to hear your self. Both
your life and the clarity of your mind come into better focus.
Coaching
works because a good coach fulfills several human
fundamentals:
1.
The longing for an ally or partner on one's path,
particularly during challenging times.
2.
The longing to be and feel understood.
3.
The curious but true need for permission to
change, particularly when you know doing so will
mean a loss of understanding, or even growing away from,
old friends.
4.
The power of commitment, wherein a person wanting
something strives harder for it because of a promise to
another.
A
life coach asks questions. A coach will help you clarify your
values, beliefs, goals, and personal meaning, and
pinpoint goals based on them. At the same time, any
life or personal coach
will help you find more balance in your life.
A coach
is an advocate for you and only you. A coach will
support you in every area of your life and take stands
for what you want to manifest in your life.
And
that's why a coach is also a collaborator. We work
alongside you, equals acting in concert toward the same
goals -- yours.
A coach
gives support as you set and then achieve the goals of
your life. Asking for support is now more often viewed
for what it is, a sign of intelligence and savvy. If you don't already have the skill of sensing your needs and
knowing how to ask for their fulfillment, then that's
one of the first benefits of
life coaching you'll
see.
A coach tells the truth, even about topics
that your friends steer clear of. Sometimes a coach
challenges you -- to come to fruition. Has no one ever
influenced your life by suggesting or even demanding
that you make decisions in your own interest? Surely
someone has. On the other hand, how rare it has probably
been, to be challenged or nudged along when you really
needed it. Coaching is structured nudging. We do it so
that you won't mind it so much.
A coach is
motivational. Wasn't that what you already thought when
you went looking for a coach? You knew this part. It
works, too.
A coach
is objective, and brings fresh perspectives. A coach
will help you create possibilities. If the talk
turns toward a career change, then your coach will
become a career coach.
A
life and mind coach
guides the client toward, or along, his or her real
path. A coach collaborates on that journey, and even
evolves with the client.
A coach asks questions
--
the right questions at the right time and in the right
way.
A coach understands -- you and your situation
-- and strategizes with you on the next steps. How can
you get from here to there? As the German soldiers in
the old sit-coms and comic movies always said, Ve haf
vays.
What Does a Good Life and Mind Coach Not Do?
Here are just a few
things we don't do:
● Try to change or
disagree with your beliefs, values, or goals. ●
Attempt to provide all the answers ? we prompt you with
questions and we jointly design solutions.
● Use the
coaching relationship to act out our own predilections
and hang-ups, exhibit our own cleverness, or imagine we're a parent.
● Fail to tolerate your
shortcomings.
● Lecture you or tell you what you
ought to do.
● Emphasize trying to understand why --
this is what therapists will do for you. It is valuable,
and sometimes we'll experience such understanding, but
it is not the primary goal.
