16 compelling reasons to use a life coach.
Several years ago, I had no idea that life coaching existed as a career. Boy, was I missing out! I’ve always been interested in psychology, human behavior and personal development. There are many book on my shelf to prove it (what I now call “Shelf Help”!). However, on a personal level, none of what I learned really made a difference in my life. Everything changed when I discovered the field of coaching and ever since, I have been getting consistently coached in everything from health and wellness to personal, career and relationship coaching. II even took on becoming one myself! I got trained in several methodologies and I am continuing to develop myself as a professional life and personal development coach.
Why do I love coaching so much? Because it works! The coach/client relationship is unique and powerful because it is a co-creative partnership and in the process you get access to the genius of your personal strengths and you achieve permanent results in the areas of life that matter to you.
Below are some important reasons to use a Professional Coach (from the Coach Resource Portal but I also added a few of my own), any ONE of which is compelling enough to get your very own coach TODAY!
1. You Highly Value Your Quality of Life
You prioritize building fulfilling personal and professional life and relationships. You realize that your success and quality of life is directly connected to your goals and outcomes in achieving them.
2. You Are Committed To Success
You are serious and intentional about having a fulfilling life partnership, family, business, and community.
3. You Want Results
Working with a coach can move you farther and faster than you can on your own.
4. You Are Willing To Learn
You realize that you don’t know what you don’t know, and your future success may depend upon access to new skills and knowledge.
5. You Are Ready For Action
Using a coach can be the most effective means of translating knowledge into practice. One of the most indispensable roles of a coach is to help you use what you already know to make effective choices and take the actions necessary to be successful.
6. You Are Open To Mentoring/Support
A Coach guides you to use your life and relationships to evolve and develop skills critical to your business success and personal fulfillment. The process of self-discovery, learning about how to make successful choices in real life cannot be effectively self-taught or obtained from a book or tape (e.g. “shelf help”).
7. You Want Fulfillment
You do not want to settle for less or risk preventable failure, and you are willing to give yourself the gift of the support and technology needed to be successful.
8. You Want To Be True To Yourself
A Coach keeps you honest with yourself, will neutralize any tendency you may have to settle for less than you really want, is good for providing “reality checks” and being a sounding board.
9. You Want To Be Proactive
A Coach guides you to solve problems while they are still small.
10. You Want To Go Beyond Your Limits
A Coach holds your highest vision for you beyond your fears and limitations, and helps you overcome your obstacles and challenges.
11. You Want To Take Responsibility
A Coach has you take responsibility for the quality of your life and relationships so that you can create them the way you want.
12. You Want To Live Authentically
Today’s world is filled with challenges to finding and staying on your highest path, telling your truth, and making choices that are best for you. A Coach guides you in identifying and living the life you really want, be the person you really are, and guide you in discovering and living from your true essence.
13. You Want Balance In Your Life
Your life is filled with opportunities and conflicting choices. You recognize the importance of creating and maintaining balance in your life and relationships, including the ones you have with yourself and your higher power.
14. You Want New Possibilities For Yourself
A Coach has you continually discover and implement new and more fulfilling possibilities for your life and relationships.
15. You Desire Improved Performance and Productivity.
Coaching is a must in this area because it brings out the best in individuals and teams and gets them into action to obtain solid results.
16. You Want Improved Relationships, Quality of Life, To Tap Into Your Creativity, Power, Resources etc.
If you think about it you might realize that no-one is successful alone. Working with a Coach helps you go farther, faster, that you can by yourself. Even Coaches have Coaches and their Coaches have Coaches too!
Go ahead. Make the leap!
