Who can benefit from Coaching?

Embarking on the journey of self-improvement and personal growth is a courageous step towards unlocking your fullest potential. However, we often encounter challenges that seem too great to overcome or find ourselves yearning for some guidance.

This is where coaching comes in. Coaching is a dynamic and personalized guidance partnership that extends beyond conventional self-help methods. Whether you’re feeling stuck, seeking to break unhelpful habits, pursuing a dream, advancing in your career, or simply desiring to become the best version of yourself, a coach will support and challenge you to follow through on your goals and desires.

Coaching helps to raise awareness around obstacles and challenges and set effective next steps to get the desired results. This happens through a collaborative conversation with the coach who often takes the role of a thinking partner.

The coach might use different tools to help you understand your strengths and weaknesses, clarify goals and passions, enhance self-awareness, guide you to find solutions when you feel stuck and keep you accountable so that you follow through on your decision.

While we may not be experts in your specific life or problem, we specialise in understanding human nature and facilitating change.

Most people seek a coach when they have a particular persistent challenge in their lives that they want to overcome. However, pretty much everyone can work with a coach but it requires a certain mindset – openness to being challenged and commitment to see it through.

Be it procrastination, overworking, negative self-talk, people-pleasing or something else, breaking those habits can sound like a mission impossible. A coach will utilize tools like insightful questioning, active listening and paraphrasing to uncover circumstances when the pattern takes over.

For example, one of my clients was frustrated over a lack of progress in building his business and wanted to review their current plan to make improvements. Halfway through the session, I realized that there was something more to the situation.

When I shared this observation, the client confirmed he was spending time with his family and a sick relative, which took him away from his business. This led to a powerful conversation of values and priorities. The client walked away feeling much more content with his progress and determined to focus on family over the next few weeks, rather than try to do it all.

Having someone to check in on your progress and alignment with values and priorities can significantly increase the likelihood of success. In the above example, the client took a short break to focus on what matters to him and when that got resolved, he was much more successful at following through with his business plan.

The client originally wanted to do well in both by finding more effective ways to do that by reviewing his action plan. Had I not made the observation, we would have not known that there was an important competing priority for his time. Because he prioritized his time according to his priorities and values, he was able to do both well, rather than being frustrated over not giving both the attention they deserved.

Pursuing a dream can be thrilling when we imagine the end goal yet challenging when we try to envision the path there. A coach can assist you in breaking down seemingly overwhelming dreams into manageable steps.

The coach would explore the dream with you to transform it into a short or long-term SMART goal and explore the situation and options you have before finally supporting you in putting your next steps together.

Moreover, coaches will delve into someone’s mindset and beliefs to address potential barriers like fear of failure or imposter syndrome. By offering support and guidance, they help individuals confront and overcome the internal hurdles that hold them back from following through on their actions.

In essence, a coach catalyzes transformation, helping you not only define your dreams but also develop the skills, mindset, and strategies necessary to turn them into a reality.
