What can life or career coaching give you - more than a chat with a colleague or friend?

It can be quite a commitment deciding to make the investment to sign up for life coaching or career coaching. Whetehr you are looking for online coaching or face to face career coaching or life oqaching you’ll want to be sure that you are getting more than you could from simply talking things through with someone you know.

Whilst many very clearly see the value of coaching, if you’ve never done it before you’ll want to be sure that you are getting what you are paying for. I think that’s a very sensible thought process to go through. I guess though there are two things to think about in addition and they are;

How long are you going to give yourself before you make your choice and take action?

The number of people I have spoken to wh might have spent months or even years deliberating and yet, once they commit they find they are making changes, feeling motivated and getting results in a matter of weeks. Considering your options is good, holding yourself back from getting results maybe less so. If its time to take the plunge, make the call and find out more.

Secondly its the cost. Yes life coaching and career coaching costs money., should you spend it?

This is an interesting one. Many of us are used to paying for the gym or the hairdressers, but coaching? A good way to think about it is this; Consider the area you want coaching to help with be that interview prep, career choices, self confidence, dealing with overwhelm, stress… if you could wave a magic wand and pay the same price as a package of coaching sessinos and in 3 months time either have the issue resolved/ get the job or just feel a whole lot more balanced about things, would you? Now coaching isn’t magic and you will have to do the work but it really can get far-reaching results and shape your life in the way you want.

Ao what can life coaching and career coaching give you?

Safe, confidential and non-judgemental space

A place to discuss thoughts and consider your options, with no risk of flare up, bias or replaying issues in the future. Even our most well meaning friends will have a vested interest in what you should do - even if they whole heartedly believe it’s for your own good.

Expert insight

Your situation is unique to you and any decent professional will treat it as such. However an experienced coach who may have worked with 100’s of clients to successfully overcome similar issues will know how to ask the right questions and sign-post you to the best outcome.

Accountability - of the best kind

I don’t know if you’ve ever asked a friend or relative to help ‘keep you on track’, but there’s a very fine line between support and nagging! Having regular coaching sessions with an expectation of what you’ll achieve by the next session can be a great way to set the expectation and stick to it. A coach will also help if you are finding it tough to achieve what you intended and will help to remove the barriers along the way.

Focus, clarity and drive

Unlike your colleague, it doesn’t matter what a coach has going on in their own life at the time, they’ll be 100% there for you. Allowing you to clarify your goals, get a picture of what you really want and build a strategy with you to get you there. Allowing you to learn and grow in confidence along the way.

Results and ongoing support

An experienced coach can only stay in business if they get results for their clients. Personally at least half of my work comes through recommendation. Not to mention as a coach seeing my clients get where they want is what motivates me every day. Don’t get me wrong, you’ll be doing the work - but it’s my job to help you make the best decisions, to enable you to connect the dots and have the clarity of thought and confidence to help you move forward to the life and career you want. Once you are a client whatever comes up in the future, you’ll be able to count on me for support.
