Life Coaching, a need, a choice towards changing your future

Life Coaching, a need, a choice towards changing your future

Coaching was limited to sports like football, tennis, basketball, and so on… it was my understanding for a very long time and when I heard the term “Mentor” it was only a decade ago when I joined toastmasters to learn about public speaking. With this limited understanding, I was intrigued to discover and learn the reality behind the two terms. So, the journey begins…

Excitement with delight instigated in me and I was looking forward to the first-ever experience of Mentoring. My journey of Mentorship had started and since then I had experienced many mentors myself and still seek guidance from time to time from many such professionals related to a specific field of expertise and specialist of their trade. I do connect with Chefs when I am trying to develop a certain balance in my recipe, I connect to Leadership Gurus when I am developing content on Leadership, I Seek advice from Sales Specialist in preparing a Sales Funnel for my clients, and so on with Marketing, Digital Transformation, Data analytics and so on.

Mentorship demands

  • Relevant experience and expertise
  • Enthusiasm on the subject matter and role
  • Alignment with Mentee and their goals
  • Understands the value of mentorship
  • Guidance, Constructive feedback, and Personal insights
  • Challenges you to do better always
  • Empathy and great Listening skills
  • Positive role model with a great attitude

If this is what you need, you are heading in the right direction. Always seek mentorship from the experts in the subject matter and be specific with your desired goal(s). Secondly, there could be more than one mentor for the same subject matter, the responsibility of the decision lies with the Mentee.

In pursuit of knowledge, when I learned and experienced the Coaching side, It helped me unlock my hidden potential, by eliminating negative thoughts and embracing my strengths I was liberated from my inner fears that have been restricting my ability to achieve my goals.

"...coaching focuses on equipping the individual to discover their unique potential."?Brian Cagney

Coaching is a life-changing experience of inner change reflecting success outwards, growth, and life purpose. I learned if we are clear on our purpose, eliminate negativity from our lives, and have the tools and techniques to build meaningful relationships, happiness and fulfillment are achievable.

Coaching in achieving a meaningful life is the air we breathe to live. Unfortunately, it is not in our practice and systems to adapt to this special source and benefit from it. Successful Entrepreneurs globally have coaches for business, Life, Personal Development, Relationships, and so on. Every sport has the component of coaching. We come across people seeking and benefiting from coaching since their early ages and have grown out to be role models in society and the world.

Just as a professional sports player has a coach to work on the technical and psychological parts of their performance, everyday people should take a structured and disciplined approach to personal growth and advancement. A life coach is a person that works in partnership with an individual to help them reach their potential across all aspects of life, depending on the need of the individual or engagement.

A life coach helps to support to make improvements in lives and help them move out of their stuck states. A life coach works more as a facilitator, understanding that the person knows within themselves to make the improvements.

How life coaching helps people is extremely enlightening information and I have personally experienced my friends and family across the board benefiting in the following aspects.

  • Building self-confidence
  • A different perspective
  • self-awareness
  • Create a balanced life
  • Achieve goals
  • Discover clarity of purpose
  • Keep commitments
  • Discover yourself better
  • Identifying strengths & weaknesses
  • Unlock potential
  • Improve communication
  • Manage time and Eliminate negativity
  • Overcome your fears
  • Eliminate bad habits
  • Define your values
  • Motivation & Better decision making
  • Show empathy
  • Learn to accept criticism
  • Show more appreciation
  • Reduce stress

Not only does it help the individual, but the people around the individual, family members, colleagues, friends, and social circle, in fact all around him get benefit in some way or the other. The change in personality and life reflects after coaching reflects from every single interaction with the person. Some of the examples globally belong to fortune 500 companies, Great Political Leaders, Business Gurus, and Billionaires.
