Life Coaching is Inevitable

As we need oxygen to breath and water to survive. Similarly we need coaches to help us in achieving our cherished goal or objective. Celebs like Oprah Winfrey, Bill Gates and Steve Jobs also hired a coach.

What is stopping you. We generally think that we do not require a Life Coach because we are not suffering from some mental ailment. But on the contrary, we need a friend, philosopher and guide, who can take us through that muck which is flying around.

GET YOUR SHIT DONE!

Show to the world that you are something.

You are a face in the crowd. Not a part of the crowd.

Coaches help?you identify your strengths and areas of concern and encourage you to leverage your strengths?to address your concerns, helping you to live a fuller, meaningful life that empowers you.

A life coach is a type of wellness professional who helps people make progress in their lives in order to attain greater fulfillment. Life coaches aid their clients in improving their relationships, careers, and day-to-day lives.

Life coaches can help you clarify your goals, identify the obstacles holding you back, and then come up with strategies for overcoming each obstacle. In creating these strategies, life coaches target your unique skills and gifts. By helping you to make the most of your strengths, life coaches provide the support you need to achieve long-lasting change.

Many people seek out life coaches for guidance in navigating a significant life change, such as taking on a new career. In plenty of cases, however, people turn to life coaches simply for help in building a happier, more meaningful life.

While people may report subjective benefits after seeing a life coach, there have also been studies that have shown that life coaching can be beneficial in a number of areas:

• One study found that both individual and group coaching was helpful in reducing procrastination and improving goal attainment.
• One review of studies found that health and wellness coaching showed promise for improving self-efficacy and self-empowerment.
• A 2020 study published in?Frontiers in Psychology?found that coaching-based leadership interventions could be effective for enhancing well-being and improving functioning within organizations.

Research also suggests that life coaching can have a range of other positive effects, including improvements in personal insight and improve self-reflection. It may also help improve overall mental health and quality of life.

One of the main benefits of working with a life coach is the ability to gain a fresh, informed perspective on problems that you face. In addition to offering new insight into challenges, a life coach can help you to zero in on negative patterns that could be standing in the way of your success.

Many people view working with a life coach as a means of bridging the gap between your current circumstances and the life you’d like to lead. The following are some of the?positive outcomes that could result from joining forces with a life coach:

• Better?work/life balance
• Elimination of long-held fears and anxieties
• Enhanced creativity
• Greater financial security
• Improved communication skills
• More satisfying work life
• Stronger relationships with friends and family

Additionally, people frequently pair up with life coaches in order to work through barriers that may interfere with finding a partner/mate. Many people also look to life coaches for help in identifying their passion and carving out their ideal career path.

Since sessions typically take place on a regular basis over a prolonged period of time, life coaches can ensure that their clients are implementing what is necessary to experience significant change.

Along with providing the support and motivation essential for maintaining momentum, coaches can observe when a client is stuck or needs to recalibrate their goals. As a result, clients often achieve those goals more quickly and efficiently than they would if working on their own.

Coaching in organization and leadership settings is also an invaluable tool for developing people across a wide range of needs. The benefits of coaching are many; 80% of people who receive coaching report increased self-confidence, and over 70% benefit from improved work performance, relationships, and more effective communication skills. 86% of companies report that they recouped their investment on coaching and more (source: ICF 2009).

Coaching provides an invaluable space for personal development. For example, managers are frequently presented with employees struggling with low confidence. The traditional approach would be to send them to?an assertiveness course and hope this addresses the issue. In the short-term, the employee learns new strategies for communicating which may improve confidence. Unfortunately, in isolation these courses rarely produce a sustained increase in confidence. Although external behavior may change; it needs to be supported by changes in their internal thought processes. This is often where coaching is most effective.

Managers should not underestimate the impact of coaching on their people as it frequently creates a fundamental shift in their approach to their work. For example, increased self-confidence enables employees to bring more of themselves into the workplace. This results in employees being more resilient and assertive.

The Benefits of Coaching in Organizations:

• Empowers individuals and encourages them to take responsibility
• Increases employee and staff engagement
• Improves individual performance
• Helps identify and develop high potential employees
• Helps identify both organizational and individual strengths and development opportunities
• Helps to motivate and empower individuals to excel
