A few Coaching Questions for Success in Business & Life

Posted on January 08, 2013 by Kim L Miles, MCC, One of Thousands of Executive Coaches on Noomii.

I took my daughter to see Rise of the Guardians. It was a wonderful holiday movie and just happened to be full, and I mean FULL of incredible coachy insights and lessons.

I won’t spoil it but here are a few of the things I picked up from the movie

*Replace your fear with wonder and light
*Your deepest fear is when you realize you are chosen for something specific
*The most joyous time is when we have the experience of being seen, heard and understood for who we are at our center
*Your dreams are what allows your light to shine
*There will always be fear but as long as you believe the fear can be overcome

I found coaching at a time when I was truly searching for my calling. I was desperate to know that I was indeed chosen for something more than the field of engineering which I wasn’t passionate about at all. I wanted to be one of those people who was doing what they knew they were “supposed” to do. Well indeed I found my center, my calling and my passion.

Since I started my coaching practice, there has been fear, there has been joy, there has been doubt and there has been belief. There has also been so much growth and learning not only about my calling but also about my past and how it has served me well. This movie brought it all to light and I am grateful to have been gifted this additional insight through this movie.

So let’s bring the insights of the movie to you. What do each of the learnings above mean to you? How do they apply to your business, to your life? If I were to call you today, and I just might and ask you what are you called to do with your life right now, what would you say?

We are almost in December and it is a great time of reflecting but an even better time to do the things that will help you finish the year meeting your goals. Here are a few coaching questions that will support you in doing so.

Coaching questions:

*What are the things (fears, thoughts or mindset) that hold you back from reaching your goals?
*What is the specific thing you are “chosen for” to act upon today, this week, this month?
*What dreams need to be realized now so that your light can shine?
*Who do you need to “be” in order to accomplish all that you set out to this year?

As always, I would love to connect with you via email, FB or phone with how these questions help you keep the momentum to success.
