What Is Life Coaching?
Coaching is a word tossed around by many people and it has many different meanings. The definition of coaching I practice at Kansas City LifeCoaches comes from the International Coach Federation (www.coachfederation.org):
“Coaching is partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.
Professional coaches provide an ongoing partnership designed to help clients produce fulfilling results in their personal and professional lives. Coaches help people improve their performances and enhance the quality of their lives.”
Another way to say that is: “Coaching is the facilitation of the client’s growth and change.”
If you want to change some facet of your life, What will you do today to put that change in motion? I believe the best possible answer to that question is “start thinking differently”. But that’s not always easy. You have years of practice doing things a certain way, thinking certain thoughts and reacting in set ways. To get different results requires you to do or think differently.
As your coach, I’ll help you unpack those old beliefs, habits, attitudes and thought processes. Then, to ensure that your new directions are in line with your true self, you’ll begin clarifying your “personal foundation”. Once you have a solid foundation, building the rest of your life upon that foundation becomes more natural and much easier.
In the coming 6 months, what will you say “yes” to in order to realize the changes you want? Maybe more importantly, what will you say “No” to? Understanding what you want in your life and why you want it makes saying “yes” and saying “no” easy and effortless. And - there’s no guilt or “buyer’s remorse!”
Coaching the Kansas City LifeCoaches way is a cooperative activity in which you will find and clarify your Personal Foundation and begin to make choices - some tough choices - to create the world you’ve been seeking.
