What do you do if you need help setting goals through personal coaching?

Find a coach who can guide you. Talk about what you want to achieve and any challenges you face. Together, define specific goals that are clear and achievable within a certain timeframe. Break big goals into smaller steps to make them easier to manage. Review your progress regularly with your coach and make adjustments as needed. Stay committed and use the support of your coach to reach your goals effectively.

I like to start with a life coaching tool called “The Wheel Of Life”. It helps the client to discover the areas of their life that need the most attention. The ultimate goal is to live your best life possible !

Goals will not be achievable if they are not in line with our life values. For a quality start, you will need to arrange and define your structure of life values. Which means to look at your life and see the values you live by and the ones you strive for. Dealing with your structure of life values is a crucial part of your inner-investigation. To change something in our life, it’s not enough just to wish for something, wish for a change. We need to define the things we want, and get them in some order, and then make a detailed plan that will take us to the desired goal.

A coach can help you uncover interests, skills, and desires that may have been buried for years. Find a coach you connect with, and most of all, trust. If you feel safe in the coaching relationship, you’ll discover so many possibilities for your future. You’ll be able to give voice to ideas that you may have been afraid to share with family or colleagues. You’ll gain a supportive ally for your goals. A compatible coach will be there for you in successes and disappointments as you take steps toward your goals. He or she will help you find the learnings in the disappointments, so you get back on track knowing you have a supportive ally.

I find someone who can help me. Looking for the right person to coach you is very important. First, identify the problem. Then, find someone who can help you reach your goals.

I have to be open and trust when the obstacles and blocks surface, and they will, that I am worth the effort and have picked the right coach for me. This work can be so uncomfortable because facing our shadow selves is hard! Because of this, I have a vetting process to pick the coach that is the best fit in helping me set and attain my goals. I take advantage of their free consultation offer and schedule a time to talk. I only consider coaches willing to talk to me w/o charging me for an intro call. I need a responsive coach and expect to hear back w/i 24-48 hrs of my request to connect. Do we have rapport? How do they speak to me? Is this someone who can help me achieve my goals, especially when I am stuck? A great fit = goals achieved!

In coaching, we make discoveries together, as we are talking through situations. The Life Coach makes space for the client to truly discover why they are experiencing barriers without judgement or blame. Once the client discovers their true feelings, they can work through the barriers and experience success in accomplishing their dreams !

remember your surrounding and environment, it will motivate or De-motivate you. make a list of your daily interactions, to get clarification.

The best part of having a personal coach is knowing you have someone to help you persevere when times get tough. It’s really hard to maintain momentum on your own. The voice of your inner critic can get loud! Family and work obligations can interfere with your personal goals. This is when a coach is your cheerleader and helps you maintain momentum. A coach is invaluable for helping you stay on track!

The article assumes that the client knows what his goal is, whereas in many (and I mean really a lot) cases people don't know what they want, or at least they think that they don't know. As coaches we understand that every client knows what he wants, but not every client can name it. Helping the client at this stage to clearly articulate his aspirations, dreams, help them to visualise the future, come up with a high-level concept first, prior to moving to SMART-ish techniques - these can be top priorities at initial stage.
