Life Coaching

Life coaching is sometimes called personal coaching, business coaching, corporate coaching or executive coaching. It is a new professional service that has been available in Australia for over five years and in the United States for more than ten. This kind of mentoring has probably existed in one form or another for hundreds if not thousands of years. However, in its current relatively structured form, it is proving to be a fast growing and popular part of the $100 billion per year global personal development and training industry and is attracting considerable media attention.

The bottom line is that great results are being achieved and it actually works!


life coaching

It is a mentoring process in which a person who has achieved their own life goals and believes in you:

  • Helps you to gain the clarity you need to discover what is rewarding, fulfilling and satisfying so you can set goals that reflect your interests, skills, strengths, personal values and temperament (rather than whims, instant gratification or social/marketing pressures) and thereby joyfully commit to doing things you care passionately about
  • Gives you 100% support and guidance in the use of empowering tools which enable you to take steps (such as gaining confidence and insight, finding direction, developing action plans, making significant changes and improving relationships) which unleash your unrealised potential so you can move forward to live the life you really want to live.
  • Assists you to reach your chosen goals more quickly and with less stress by reducing learning curves, creating better solutions and avoiding expensive mistakes.

Coaching can be applied to every area of your life - personal and professional. Roslyn has worked with many clients over the last five years. The following is a list of the kinds of benefits she has seen people receive as a result of the coaching process.

Why Life Coaching Works

Coaching motivates you to spend time focused on and working toward your goals so you actually achieve them. It does this by making sure you've chosen the most rewarding goals for you. It also makes you accountable to someone else. This accountability dramatically increases your perseverance and perseverance usually pays off.

Through wise guidance from someone that has undergone thousands of hours of personal development work and succeeded in achieving their own goals, coaching can save you much time, money and frustration. It is easy to waste a lot of energy going off on a tangent, taking on too much too soon or criticising ourselves. Honest and open feedback can help us to see blind-spots that it might take weeks, months or years to discover on our own. Encouragement, support, validation, inspiration and practical action-oriented guidance can stretch us to see beyond our limited view of ourselves to what is possible so that we not only achieve our goals more quickly but also reap benefits well beyond our expectations.

Would You Benefit From Life Coaching?

If there is any area of your personal or professional life in which you have been unable to achieve a high degree of satisfaction

AND

You are ready to make changes

AND

You are willing to step beyond your comfort zone

THEN

It is highly likely that you can benefit from life coaching.

What Can I Expect From Life Coaching?

Life Coaching begins with establishing some inspiring goals. From then on, the focus is on achieving them. While coaching is a catalyst for amazing change, it is not magic. It does require hard work and commitment.

Ideally you have a session for one hour per week in person or over the telephone for an agreed period, often three months. During each session, you agree to take actions for the following week at which time you discuss obstacles faced, insights gained, and with the help of constructive feedback which broadens your perspective, set new actions for tackling things in a different way.

Some of these new actions may require you to develop new habits. To accomplish this, you will need to be willing to step beyond your comfort zone as you are guided in the use of a wide range of empowering techniques intended to rapidly raise your emotional intelligence. It is these techniques which can rapidly speed up the usual coaching process.
