Life Coaching
“You never change things by fighting the existing reality. To change something, build a new model that makes the existing model obsolete.”
—- R. Buckminster Fuller
A life coach is a certified professional who helps you clarify your goals, identify the obstacles holding you back, and then leads you to formulating your own strategies to overcome each challenge. Life coaching is so effective mainly because it compels you to discover unseen truths, inspiring you to open up unique pathways to your desired outcomes. A good life coach asks you the right questions, helping lead you to whatever is most in line with your values. The coach helps you achieve your goals through a process of listening, validation, asking powerful questions to develop a plan of action, and then holding you accountable to follow through with that plan. During the process, common blocks are addressed using techniques that are legally correct without a counseling license.
Spiritual Life Coaching considers the spiritual and consciousness aspects of manifesting change. It harnesses your own spiritual belief system to bring that awareness to achieving the desired goal.
A spiritual coach guides you to answer your spiritual questions, and integrate spirituality into your everyday life.
Life and Spiritual Coaching stress allowing you to come up with your own solutions. A coach is there to listen and guide you, and allow you to use your self-knowledge and intuition to take you where you need to go. If you don’t have the answer, a good coach will keep asking you the right questions until you do.
One of the benefits of coaching vs. traditional therapy is that coaching is goal-oriented. So when blocks come up along the way toward a goal, they can be addressed within the context of that goal, usually very quickly, because the process inherently does not lend itself to remaining stuck in a never-ending loop of “story.” Ultimately, overcoming the block has a global effect on your life. The benefit of overcoming a block during any given coaching session soon begins to have overall positive effects in unexpected places.
