Coaching is a vehicle that can transport a client from where they are in life to where they want to be.
Put simply, coaching is motivational, inspiring, exciting both to the coachee, that is, the person being coached and to the person doing the coaching. In this case me. It is also action driven. It helps you look at where you are, that is, are you fulfilling your dreams and meeting your goals and where you would like to be. I do this by raising awareness and encouraging you to take responsibility as opposed to waiting for somebody to make decisions for me or you.
I believe we all have a personal journey unique to us and have goals / dreams to fulfil. Thinking on your own about how to reach goals can be daunting but a coach can help to focus you and help you to be clear about what you can achieve.
My journey with coaching has been a marathon and not a sprint. It had to take all the events of my life and more for me to decide and I am not looking back. I have always liked to read motivational and inspiring books. I have had people come to me for advice; people who want to know what to do about this and that and so on. The reward was when they came back to me to say thank you for listening and what I had said was helpful.
I was then advised by a friend to train and do coaching professionally. I did my research and enrolled to be trained by Results Coaching System. I have loved every minute and continue to do so.
Each one of us has a personal journey. One of the things that coaching does is that it helps you discover who you are, where you want to go, what you are willing to do to get there. Coaching is about results and moving forward. It is about change
As coach Julie Kennedy says “Coaching responds to society’s needs to find a meaning and purpose for our existence, to move forward to becoming our personal best in which ever area is frustrating us, we all have our individual paths, which if based on principles and values, lead to the general well-being of the whole.”
I wish for all of you who read this and agree to be coached, to find your purpose and live your personal fulfilling journey.
