How do you know if you need a coach?

Are you at a major turning point in your life? You are having many questions, both big and small, that you've been searching for answers but still haven't found them? There are times when you doubt yourself and the decisions you have made. You know you have to do something but aren't sure what it is? When you find yourself facing one of these unknowns, you have arrived at the door of finding a coach.

?

Even though the door appears with a look of closed door, this is much easier than not seeing any doors. At that time, the universe will send many signals to guide you to find the right key. Or maybe you just need to turn the doorknob and open it. Because sometimes a closed door doesn't necessarily mean it's locked. You only realize this when you really take time to ask yourself:

What do I need? And for that to happen, whom do I need to seek help from?

How do I know if I need a coach?

Life is a flow, fast or slow depending on each person. When you enjoy the flow, you yourself are part of that rhythm of movement. Do you remember those afternoons coming home after a long day of work? You immediately start preparing dinner, showering, eating, and cleaning up. Problems in work or life that need to be taken care of are always there. However, you don't have to think much other than finding a solution and implementing it.

?

But until a day, you feel stuck. You can't see what the problem is? You only see the blur of the future and are stuck in the present. There may even be times when you lose the desire to care for yourself and connect with those around you.

?

Those are the times when you ask yourself about your passion and mission in this life. Difficulties and unsatisfactory circumstances always surround you, making you feel like you're walking in a fog. People around you might even say that you are lost. Even though you know you're not lost, you're just looking for a new direction.

Benefits of having a coach

You've probably heard that when you can't find the answer yourself, seek help. So why, when you are at a crossroads in life, don't you look for someone to help you? What prevents you from reaching for the doorknob to open that door?

The questions you ask yourself are the first step on your coaching journey. You coach yourself to understand the situation you are facing. And from there you start to seek help from a professional coach. He or she will bring a fresh and independent perspective. They have no relationship with you or your problems. This creates great objectivity to deeply explore the aspects of the problem you are facing.

?

The great benefit of having a coach, in addition to an objective perspective, is also professionalism. Coaches have been trained in methods and tools to perform effective coaching. They are not the ones to give you the answers, but they help you find the answers. That is the highest value of coaching. They help you understand yourself and be ready to face your inner fears. From there, you will make your own decisions and take next steps of your life's journey.

How to find the right person you need?

Professional coach

Have you ever sought advice from others? Have you ever shared the difficulties you are facing with someone in hopes of receiving some guidance in return? Or there are times when you think and analyze what you are going through to find the answer for yourself. These moments all have a coaching characteristic and somehow help you clarify something.

However, true coaching is coaching with a researched and validated method. A professional coach is someone who is certified and has qualifications and experience in coaching.

?

Seeking help from a professional coach is necessary to help you find the right direction for yourself. Professionalism will help you avoid unnecessary mistakes. You benefit from the foundation and effective methods of the professionalism that the coach brings.

Besides, the time you use the coaching service is usually calculated in years, meaning it is not short. A coach is also like someone who accompanies you during the most difficult times. So you need to find a good coach.

?

Pay attention to mutual compatibility

There are many professional coaches who have certificates and many years of coaching experience. When you find them, the next question you will ask is: How do I know this is the right coach I need?

At the same time, the coach also has similar questions to determine whether you are the person he or she can help provide the best coaching. This is the point that shows the professionalism of a good coach. They will have questions to help determine the compatibility of both sides: the coach and the coachee.

?

LIFE OUTLOOK

Most of the time, when there is a compatible outlook on life between you and your coach, deep understanding is easily achieved. You are someone who lives according to the Buddhist philosophy of cause and effect and you believe somewhat in spirituality. Then, if the coach also has a certain compatibility with your life perspective, effective communication between the two of you will easily reach smoothness. That comes from the fact that both people use the same "language".

?

PERSONAL EXPERIENCES

It's also possible that the coach hasn't gone through the same experiences as you, but they should have a background in understanding what you're going through. Otherwise, they might not really get what your problems are.

For example, you want to find someone to coach you about problems with your children. You want to find reconciliation to open the knot between you and your child. However, if your coach is single, it means he/she has never experienced parental. That will be an obstacle making it difficult for the coach to ask the most valuably relevant questions.

Key Takeaways?

Our lives go through many crossroads, right? Even though you have family and friends by your side, there are decisions that need to be analyzed from an independent and objective perspective. Especially when facing crossroads, having help from a coach will bring great benefits to you.

Decisions made after coaching are decisions that promote your best values. And once you find a coach, find a coach who is professional, good and suitable for you. The coach you know you have found right will be both your companion- your guide-and, so to speak, your enlightener.
