Why should I hire a coach?

I am in the process of building a website for my coaching business and the question came up, “Does my website strike a chord in the reader so that they want to contact me to find out more and hire me to coach them?” My coaching friend said, “Have you thought about writing a blog to share your experience with coaching?”?

So, here goes … my first blog post to share about my personal experience with being coached.?

Rewind, to the first time I was coached by one of my classmates. Our instructor told us to come up with a topic that we want to be coached on. In our classes, we talked about Personal Foundation – a way of looking at our life and how good we are with ourselves, our habits, and the way we lead our life, as that can impact how we interact with the people we are coaching (i.e. bias).?

So, I started talking about being a list maker and how I can get through my lists each day. Through the coaching session, I realized that making lists and then completing them gives me a sense of accomplishment (which is important to me). We talked about prioritizing what needs to be completed and that it is okay to not get everything done on my list. This was a HUGE revelation for me!?

The major take-away for me was the impact of my coach holding space for me to talk about this issue. My coach asked thought provoking questions, and I gained awareness of how I felt and what I wanted to do about it. My coach listened well, asked thought provoking questions, and walked through the session with me, without giving advice or telling me what I should do. How refreshing! I felt heard. I felt valued. I realized the value of having a processing partner as I worked through the subject of prioritizing my to do list.??

What I came away with was far more than action steps for prioritizing my to do list. I gave myself permission to say it was okay if I didn’t get everything done on my list and not beat myself up for not getting everything completed. Most importantly, I realized that I had the answer inside of me, I just didn’t know it.?

Also, I came away from that first session wanting to be coached again, and again. During our session, I made a list of things that I had been tolerating – issues that were unresolved and in need of resolving, and pursuing dreams and desires of my heart as to what I wanted my life to look like going forward.?

So, yes, I strongly encourage you to talk to a coach about how you can get unstuck, deal with things you are tolerating, complete those things that are incomplete, resolve problems in your life, and pursue the desires of your heart.

What will you come away from hiring a coach and being in coaching sessions? Breakthroughs, aha moments, realizing your dreams, and finding answers to the questions you have kept inside for years. And many more.?

Does this spur anything in you? Are you ready to talk to a coach to see how your life can be changed for the better? How you can be the best version of yourself?

Reach out to me and let’s talk about how you can benefit from being coached by a professional coach who cares, will hold space for you, and ask you great questions, so that YOU can experience BREAKTHROUGH.?

I know it works because I am being coached. I wish I would have done it sooner, but I am grateful to now have that benefit in my life.
