Life Coaching 

Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming - "WOW - What a ride!!!" - Author Unknown

Are you enjoying the ride of your life? Do you make the most of every moment? Is life a joy for you? Do you find harmony, peace, and laughter in your every day moments? If not, you may want to consider hiring a life coach.

If you've heard about coaching, but don't know what it is or how it works, this is the place for you. "Coaching" has been a buzz word for some time now, but there is still confusion about exactly what it is.  

When do I need a Life Coach?

There are many times in a person's life they could use coaching,
including:

* You have a vague sense of what you want in the future, but can't see it clearly
* You are stuck in a rut and want to get out of it
* You are having trouble making a life decision.
* You are tired of living life the way other people want you to
* You are experiencing burn out.
* You have a sense of unease in life, or are experiencing a mid-life crisis
* Life is "blah", you just don't feel much of anything
* You have trouble standing up for yourself

What Life Coaching Is:

* A chance to examine your thoughts and feelings.
* A series of thought provoking questions
* A chance to look at all of your life - not just your immediate situation and/or goals
* A telephone conversation - there's no commute involved
* An opportunity to move forward in your life.

In Life Coaching, the client is considered to be creative, resourceful, and whole. You are not "broken" and do not need to be "fixed". You have the answers you need within yourself. A good Life Coach will share what they see and sense, but they will not solve the your problems. Problem solving is the client's job. A coach will occasionally share some wisdom and guidance, but not create a dependency.

What a Life Coaching Is Not:

* A cattle prod or accountability service
* A thorough examination of the past
* Consulting
* Restricted to your professional life

A good Life Coach will support you in taking actions, but the best results are achieved when you are internally motivated to make changes.

In general, Life Coaching looks at where you are today, and where you would like to be in the future. While you might look at your past, coaching will not keep you mired there. You do not need to examine every unpleasant feeling you've ever had to make progress. I've heard coaching described as "fast forward therapy".

Coaching is about you as a whole person: Your values, goals, work, balance, fulfillment, and life purpose. Coaching will help you live your life with intention. Most clients want to achieve specific goals so they can lead a more fulfilling life. We will work on those goals, and on your overall life situation. Calls will focus on your specific needs and aspirations.

I will support you in extending your reach and becoming more than you've ever dreamed possible. Give me a call. Let's get started! 512-989-5753 or email me: Kathy@TheHealingPathway.com
