I must admit when I first heard about life coaching, I found the idea a little ridiculous. Why would I need a coach to help me live my life when I already know how to live it? It wasn’t until I actually put my skepticism aside and joined a coaching program, that I was able to understand, appreciate and even experience the benefits of having a life coach.
The purpose of a life coach is similar to that of a coach for a sports team, to keep you motivated, guide you through the steps required to achieve your goals, and to help you ultimately win the game. The game in this case is your life. Your life coach is unbiased and is therefore the best person to keep you in integrity to yourself.
A life coach is there to help you to identify where you are currently at in each area of your life, and then to guide you through identifying the steps required to get you where you want to be in each area. Your coach will help you make a plan to achieve your goals and keep you accountable for sticking to the plan. There may even be areas of your life that need attention that you haven’t even thought about, your coach will have you exploring these areas as well.
I have personally experienced breakthroughs in many areas of my life thanks to my life coach. My life is now on purpose, my why, my vision, my goals are clearly defined, I will win the game!
