What is Life Coaching?
Imagine a relationship
where the total focus is on you, on what you want in your life,
and on what
will help you achieve it.
Imagine someone listening,
not only to your words, but also to what's behind them
- who even listens
to the spaces between the words. Someone in tune with the
nuances of your
voice, your emotion, and your energy - who is intent on receiving
everything
you communicate. Someone who listens to the
very best in you, even when you
can't hear it in yourself.
Imagine someone who will hold
you accountable
and keep you moving forward toward your dreams and goals.
Imagine
a relationship with someone who is totally curious about your dreams and aspirations,
what makes you tick, what you value, what you are most passionate about in
your life - a person
who will help you clarify your goals and provide the
tools for action and learning
that lead to the results you want.
Imagine
a relationship in your life with a person who is sometimes even more
committed
to what you want in your life than you are.
Imagine what
it would be like if someone knew your values and life purpose and was
holding
you true to them - someone who would hold the flag at the top of the hill,
encouraging
you to press on, someone to celebrate your victories
and help you learn from
your setbacks.
Imagine a relationship with someone who will absolutely tell you the truth
- the truth about where you
are strong, and where you sell yourself short.
Someone who knows you can handle
it and knows that's what you want.
Someone who sees how big you can be and
constantly holds
that big image for you - even when you can't hold it for
yourself.
Imagine someone who listens to you without judgment
and allows you to show emotion -
in fact accepts you without analysing you.
Imagine you get to talk to this person every week,
even when you've just made
a mess of things or when you've had great success.
This is the place you visit
regularly and consistently ... to consolidate, to integrate, and to push on.
Imagine
a relationship where you finally break free
of those self-limiting conversations
youve been having over the years
- where the voices of sabotage are
simply noticed for what they are and the
powerful part of you is always encouraged.
