What is Coaching?

Why Life Coaching Works

I get asked this question a lot and if you type it into Google you won’t be short of answers… There’s lots of different types of coaching and lots of coaches who work in their own individual style but at its simplest level here’s my definition:

COACHING IS A CONVERSATION DESIGNED TO HELP YOU FIGURE STUFF OUT & MAKE PROGRESS.

It may sound corny but I’m going to say it anyway…
I associate coaching with a journey of discovery. A journey which gives a person the opportunity to get to know themselves better, gain a deeper understanding of their goals and desires which lets them explore how they can navigate their way forward.

The process is unique for everyone. 

  • For some it leads to making a revolutionary change which transforms their entire life or a specific area of their life.
  • Others decide to make subtle adjustments to enhance their productivity, happiness or fulfilment and the like.
  • Many find coaching useful to take stock of their situation and gain personal validation of their intended direction. This validation does not come from the coach approving their decisions but from them having the opportunity to really evaluate their position and gain new found confidence.

What is hopefully common for all is that it is a positive process which helps them look at the bigger picture, gain clarity and a new perspective at the situation at hand.

I talk a lot about ‘conscious decisions’.

By this I mean encouraging (and showing) people how they can take control by becoming self-aware of their behaviour and feelings. This ultimately means being mindful of the decisions they make and understanding why they are making them.  Coaching also encourages active thinking – simply put, someone analysing why they are having a particular thought. My role as a Coach is to ask lots of questions to let the ideas, solutions and potential options come to life.

In a nutshell coaching is a brilliant way to help you step back and gain clarity about who you are, what you really want and then devise a plan to help you get it. You do all of this with the support of a trained professional in a safe and confidential space – what’s not to love?

🧠 Here’s 5 ways that your brain can cause utter chaos! 👉 I’m not sure what’s going to happen so I’ll probably fail. 👉 I’m not clever enough, old enough, young enough so I can’t do that. 👉 This is too hard… why can’t I deal with this? I should be able to cope. 👉 Everyone else makes this look easy! There’s something wrong with me. 👉 I’ve made the wrong decision. This isn’t going to end well. 💥 I’ve had a busy week coaching. Every person if walking their own path and doing their own thing BUT self sabotage is common amongst them all. Beware… 👂Be careful what you listen to. Are you sabotaging yourself? Your brain can be prone to faulty wiring. It misinterprets what’s going on. Remember to notice your self talk and focus on the helpful voices! Remember to save and share for when your brain starts playing tricks on you. 📸 Another fabulous illustration from @veronicadearly #mindsetiseverything #mindsetcoach #masteryourmindset #mindsetmatters #lifecoachforwomen #lifecoaching #selfsabotage #coachforwomen #thinkdifferently #successcoach #positivethinking #braintraining #helpfulthinking #helpyourself #coachingtips #understandyourthoughts #impostersyndrome #feelstuck #lostmymojo #mentalhealthmatters

🤔 Sunday Reflections? No Sunday ever looks the same for me but there is always one constant… I look back and forward to set myself up for the week ahead. Questions I ask… ➡️ What went well last week? ➡️ Could anything have gone better? ➡️ What 3 things do I want to focus on next week? ➡️ What will help me move forward? Do you do anything to set yourself up for the week ahead? #sundaythoughts #sundayreflection #newweeknewgoals #newweekprep #journallingprompts #newweekfocus

🧠 In super simple terms… we have 2 brains! An emotional brain and a rational brain. ⚠️Your emotional brain works on instinct and impulse. This means that it can quickly hijack your thinking! Here’s how to recognise if this is happening for you and how you can tackle it. Let me know if this is helpful 👍 #masteryourthoughts #emotionalthinking #emotionalhijack #feelingoverwhelmed #stressedout #feelingstuck #howtofeelincontrol #mindsethacks #coachingadvice #lifecoachingtips

If the feeling of overwhelm and even dread is creeping in STOP and take these 3 steps… 1️⃣ AUDIT: Where & how are you spending your time. What stuff is filling your head? What’s the stuff on your ‘to-do’ list? 2️⃣ PRIORITISE: What’s the stuff that has to happen? What’s the stuff only you can do? What’s the the stuff you want to do? 3️⃣ TAKE ACTION: What can you delegate or outsource? What can you postpone or put down? I guarantee that there will be stuff. 💥 It can be tempting to do the exact opposite and heap more into the equation. More pressure. More people. More options. But… if you STOP and work out what you can subtract, you’ll start to simplify things and release some of the pressure. Is there something that you can subtract? #lifeaudit #lifemath #simplifylife #simplyyourlife #mindsetiseverything #mindsetcoach #burnout #overwhelmed #mondaymorningmotivation #stressedout #feelingstressed #stressrelief #feelingoverwhelmed #itsalltoomuch #lifecoaching #lifecoachingtips
