Personal Life Coaching

There is a new phenomenon sweeping the U.K. which is helping people not only to achieve, earn, and do more but also to lead a more balanced and holistic life. It’s called ‘Personal Life Coaching’ and it really does help individuals be all that they want to be.

As with so many things this concept started in the U.S.A. in the late eighties. Following on from the once popular consultants and therapists, it has become the ‘personal coach’ who will now help sort out your personal and professional life. This new type of advisor will strategise with you in weekly sessions, either in person, on the phone or via email.

Coaching started out as a way to help frenzied entrepreneurs and corporate executives cope with a life that seemed to be careering out of control. As reported by the British Journal of Administrative Management coaching ‘takes a holistic view of the individual’ ensuring that work, corporate values, personal needs and career development are made to work in synergy and not against each other. However, what started as a ‘corporate client’ service has now become a valuable tool for any individual wanting to improve their life.

Borne out of the competitive pressures of today’s economy as well as the struggle to find balance in the frantic pace of modern life this Personal Life Coaching is now rapidly attracting devotees in Britain. CEOs, entrepreneurs, professionals, people in career transition and many others grappling with life issues are all turning to this new ‘tool’ to guide them through life’s difficulties and help raise them above the ‘fog’ to the clear heights of peace and self-satisfaction. There are now hundreds of coaches across the country and it is forecast that by the year 2004 it will be as common to have a coach as it is to have a personal fitness trainer.

Coaching is a very powerful, collaborative relationship between the coach and a willing individual, which facilitates that individual, through the process of discovery, goal setting and strategic action-planning, in the realization of an extraordinary result. It is also a body of knowledge, a technology and a style of relating that focuses on the development of that human’s potential.

Goal Achieving

As children we grow up with dreams and as adults it is important that we continue them as it is when we stop dreaming that we start to whither and die. Man was born to dream; he was also born to achieve. The more dreams we have the more alive we are, although we don’t always have to achieve our dreams in order to achieve happiness. The mere act of pursuing our dreams, or starting out on the road to fulfillment can bring a great sense of direction, satisfaction and joy. Remember that wonderful saying that ‘success is a journey, not a destination’.

So when does a dream become a goal? It is when it changes from an idle ‘wish’ to something you have a passion for, perhaps even an obsession. In fact show me a man who is obsessed with something and I will show you a man with a goal. If you are serious and determined about achieving various goals in your life then you must become passionate about them. However, another important thing about achieving goals is to incorporate FUN. In order to keep motivated and keep on the path it must be enjoyable – it must be something you like doing. Indulge in activities that will keep you motivated: read the right material, listen to the right cassette tapes, attend the right courses. Never regard achieving goals in the same way as hitting work deadlines. They are not the same thing at all.

If you want to win in the great game of life, if you want to achieve all that you can achieve, and be happy then setting and achieving correct goals play an integral part. It is a tragedy that many people are subject to the devastating shock of realizing that the goal that they have finally reached is not what they wanted. How sad to hear someone say “I have lost the most precious and most significant relationships of my life. I have compromised my health, I have compromised my integrity, just to get to where I am now, only to realize that it is not where I want to be.” We have all seen people climbing the ladder of success, but is their ladder against the right wall?

“Ours is a world where people don’t know what they want and are willing to go through hell to get it.” DON MARQUIS

This misdirection commonly happens because people do not take the long-term view. Most people get into daily planning, yet all the important things in life deal with long time-spans and long time-frames, not daily. The reality is that daily planning often means that you are merely prioritizing your crises, and this kind of situation will eat you up, wear you out and leave you with no energy for efficient, long term goal planning. You must avoid this rut.

Goal planning and, more importantly, achievement is a serious business and you must get serious. Having the ‘eye of the tiger’ is all very well but it is not enough. Having the ‘will’ to win is not enough. You must be prepared to work. Opposed to what many believe success is not down to luck in the generally accepted sense of the word but it is subject to Luck Under Constructive Knowledge. By this I mean that only by implementing the necessary plans, actions and mindset can you achieve a great deal. Many of us have heard the words POSITIVE MENTAL ATTITUDE (PMA) – but do we all know how to get one? Well I have another definition for the letters PMA – PURPOSE METHOD ACTION. If you have a definite purpose in life, a method to work by to achieve that purpose, and you go out and take the appropriate action, you will immediately start to achieve personal power and, by default, a positive mental attitude.

The great difference in life between winners and losers is that winners make it happen, losers let it happen. Do not let life happen to you – take charge, take control. Make a choice now – and make that choice to win. All the ruminating, meditating and cogitating in the world will get you nowhere. Only with real goals and real action will you get the results you want.

Once you have correctly and carefully identified your goals – and it important that you take time doing this – it is absolutely essential that you transfer onto paper. The benefit of this was illustrated well in an experiment based on Yale University’s Class of ‘53. A survey was carried out in which all of the students were given a long questionnaire to complete. Within it was the one key question that was to provide the researchers with the answer to their debate – ‘How many of the students have written clear specific goals?’ – and the result was 3%. In 1973 they revisited all the participants that were still living and on speaking to them again discovered that the 3% who had written goals had actually accumulated more wealth than all of the other 97% added together. So here we have clear, categorical proof that the mere act of writing down goals has a power in itself. The very act of setting a goal and writing it down will immediately point you in the direction of that goal. It will empower you to know that your life is becoming self-determined, that you are taking charge, that you are taking control. It will provide you with a sense of purpose and set you on your journey towards the attainment of your ultimate aspirations.

Having spent over 15 years working in the field of developing human potential I have identified the following nine steps as not only being crucial in planning goals but, more importantly, immensely increase your ability to succeed. Be diligent in following the plan of action that you create, remain true to your ethics, morals and desires, and your dreams can become reality.

Coaching for growth

Coaching proves to be one of the most essential components of our lives right from the day that we become aware of the environment surrounding us. Coaching is very essential for the normal growth of the child. Coaching for growth will also apply to an individual who wants to grow in his career and also for the business organization itself that wants to expand beyond the national boundaries of their country.

Coaching normally refers to the various forms of guiding, questioning, and mentoring, and is not to be confused with the more directional forms of , training and showing the correct path an individual or a group of individuals can take to achieve their goals and develop the specific skills to perform well. Coaching for growth may include personal coaching which involves one to one discussions and conversations or workshops, seminars and even presentations.( however in a non directional format) Coaching for growth in business is normally done by coaches who have specialized skills and experience working with executives and teams in order to help to improve quality, efficiency and increase knowledge.

How we spend our time and what we do with it is very important. It is because we mistakenly believe that to be happy and lead a balanced life we need all these outside things that we complicate our lives. But it need not be that way. There are other options. But to find these options we need to look inwards instead
