Questions To Ask Yourself
|
How do I know if I need a coach?
You may want to consider enlisting the support of a
qualified coach if:
-
you feel bogged down by a project;
-
you feel overwhelmed by a part of your
life that isn’t working the way you’d like it to;
-
you feel frustrated by the way you’ve
consistently shown up in your own life that doesn’t result in clarity,
fulfillment or happiness;
-
your relationships are unsatisfying and
not improving;
-
you feel stuck by the circumstances
(and/or old patterns) of your life;
-
you are not contributing to life from
your innate talents, strengths and gifts;
-
you are prompted by a small voice
within, or a force seemingly outside yourself to move in a general
direction and aren’t sure how to proceed.
What can I expect to gain from the coaching experience?
You can expect to gain:
-
Self-awareness: a solid evaluation of
your present position as it relates to the coaching topic as well as your
potential to achieve your goals;
-
A roadmap to your success: a
personalized coaching program tailored uniquely to your needs that targets
the outcomes you desire and the skills you’ll need to reach them.
-
New abilities and skills: that are
generated through self-observations, exercises and practices that are
designed to develop you both in a specific domain, and in all domains
simultaneously.
-
A sense of mastery: as you see yourself
establish goals and fulfill them;
-
Long-term excellent performance:
consistently meeting the objective standards of the arena in which
coaching is occurring;
-
A coaching partner:
who is fully
present and unconditionally supportive of your goals;
-
A network of support: a small team of
committed others in your personal and/or professional life who can offer
you specific assistance during the coaching program;
-
Self-acceptance: The ability to
appreciate yourself more fully, including your limitations, which
automatically infuses your life with more grace.
