WHAT MODALITY IS THIS?

LIFE COACHING

by CAROLINE KASPUTIS
(Life Coach)

Life Coaching is about turning dreams into reality. It is a coaching conversation between the coach and the client where the client sees the barriers that stop him/her from achieving the goals that are really important to him/her. This new awareness has the client choose different thoughts, feelings and actions to move forward easily and achieve even greater results.

Without a goal we are like a small boat in the ocean being pulled here and there aimlessly. When we direct our focus on a target we have the ability to achieve anything. A coach also assists us to focus and live with purpose.

I have clients ask me “But what is it I am passionate about” Sometimes we get so caught up with all we have to do in life we forget to evaluate if where we are headed is our desired location/outcome. A life coach will work through the different areas of life that are important to the client and assist the client to make changes which will lead the client to experience the profound fulfilment he/she desires.

I had a client who had a tendency to set a goal and give up before finishing. He also had valid reasons for not following through to the end. This may be ok if it isn’t something he did regularly. This pattern stopped him from reaching his full potential in his chosen career and left him frustrated and constantly looking for the next thing which promised a quick fix to success without putting the effort in. Through coaching he saw he kept this behaviour in place to avoid failure – though funnily enough the avoidance of following through created failed situations. Through coaching he was able to move beyond this limiting belief and complete projects he had been putting off for years. Coaching for him kept him on track and when he came up against a hurdle he had a coach to brainstorm with who was 100% committed to his success.

A life coach is neutral in his/her opinion. The coach is trained in which questions to ask the client to have them find the answers for themselves. It works with the notion every person knows what is best for them, though we have barriers to realizing our perfect self.

A coach assists to unravel a person’s disempowering thoughts and behaviours patterns so he/she can experience a new freedom in life to create what we want from life. Some Coaches specialise in particular areas. It can be personal development, career development/ change, health, fitness, relationships, finances and business. Hire a coach to get what you really want.
