can make a living OR we can design a life.

"If You do not think about

You CANNOT have one."
John Galsworthy (1867-1933) Writer
There
is a new phenomenon, which has infiltrated the corporate and sporting
world, and it has taken it by storm. Now you're going to learn all
about it from someone who is responsible for increasing awareness
and giving advice to people who want to embark upon this world for
themselves.
So
what is the technical term for this new system which has hit our
shores?
LIFECOACHING
To
get a good understanding about what lies at the heart of Life Coaching,
lets refer to Harvard educationalist and tennis expert Timothy Gallwey:
"Coaching
is unlocking a person's potential to maximise their own performance.
It is helping them to learn rather than teaching them."
So
how does it work exactly?
"Minds
are like parachutes - they only function when open."
Thomas
Dewar - Chemist & Physicist
Get
ready to open your mind
AWARENESS is
the 'product of focused attention, concentration and clarity'. By
being able to focus and direct attention at will through concentration,
it produces clarity. Clarity as in how you will set about achieving
a goal, or even as to what the goal should be in the first place.
Awareness also brings to your attention what maybe preventing you
from reaching your specified goal.
"I
am able to control only that which I am aware of. That which I am
unaware of controls me. AWARENESS empowers me."
- John Whitmore, author
By
creating higher levels of awareness in an individual, it naturally
leads the person towards the second part of the coaching equation
Responsibility
RESPONSIBILITY
is the willingness to respond honestly and ethically to the consequences
of one's actions and thoughts. Responsibility is taking ownership
for oneself and one's actions as a matter of choice. As Joe Gough
observed after seeing the benefits of coaching for better performance,
"You
can make a man run,
but you can't make him run fast!"
When
you decide to do something for yourself by choice as opposed to
when you have been told or ordered to do it, perhaps against your
will, something interesting happens. Your level of self-motivation
rises dramatically!
'Unleashing
the Creative Juices'
Coaching
is about getting the creative juices flowing, opening up channels
from which we can pull great inspiration. The coach is not supplying
the answers. It is just a matter of creating and keeping focus;
gently bringing you back on track.
'Time
to GROW'
A
model which is frequently used amongst coaches, is the mnemonic
GROW. This is used in order to establish the sequence in which a
coach could ask you questions.
- Goal
(what
you want)
- Reality
(where you are now)
- Options
(the various ways you can go about creating it)
- Will
(what
you're prepared to do in order to achieve it)
"There's a difference between
what you do and what you can do."
David O. Selznick (1902-1965) Movie producer
The
levels of success people have had from having their own life coach
has been staggering! Here we look at what life coaching has done
for Miss H, a single mother working in the travel industry.
"Miss
H came to me at a particularly low point in her life. She was stuck
in a job that she hated. Everyday her colleagues would make her
life a misery. She would stare at her watch willing time to fly
by so that she could just get home.
The
stress at work was effecting her family life. The long hours, coupled
with low pay and a daily assault on her self-esteem were making
it hard for Miss H to hold her head up high and be the kind of mother
she wanted to be. Her health was deteriorating
She realised
she had to get out, and SOON! This is when she decided that Life
Coaching was her way forward.
Miss
H made it her goal to find a job which she actually enjoyed! In
no time at all she had resigned from her old job. She had negotiated
two months salary with her resignation.
One
week later and Miss H suddenly found herself faced with a different
set of 'problems' that she had never been faced with before. She
was agonising over the fact that she had FOUR job offers and she
didn't know which one to choose! Each of the four companies were
desperately trying to ensure that she would go and work for them.
She was even being offered 2 and a half times more than her old
salary along with other company perks!
Who
do you think calls the shots now? Miss H is now working hours which
suit her and her daughter. She is in a better paid job with a company
she loves, and life these days feels a lot more fulfilling and exciting
Do
the tools behind coaching work? I think we both know the answer
to that one now!"
Why
have I told you about Miss H? Maybe you're sitting there feeling
that none of this relates to you
and the chances are it won't!
But what does relate to you are the benefits you can and will get
from having your own personal life coach.
Imagine
what kind of advantage it will give you when you find yourself doing
it:
· Better
· Faster
· Moving Forward
· Making Changes
· Creating a Successful
and Fulfilling Self-Image
· Achieving More!!
