MORE ABOUT COACHING

We don't think twice about taking care of our bodies.  We are willing to go to the gym, get a personal trainer, and exercise in all kinds of weather at all hours of the day.  We go to great lengths to look good, smell good, dress well.  Yet, why don't we do the same with our minds? After all, a healthy body includes a healthy mind.

An easy, gentle, non-threatening, effective way to take care of our minds is through a process called Coaching.  It's somewhat similar to sports coaching - it supports, guides, questions, motivates, aligns, sets goals, and leads one to feel good about oneself.  The main difference is that it does all those things for the mind.  It allows an individual to figure out which direction and what actions are appropriate so that a person will get exactly what they want.  It has been likened to having a Personal Trainer for the mind.

Through coaching, goals are set, experiences are actualized motivation is examined, and important questions are raised which lead to taking steps (action) towards reaching a desired goal.  It is a way for you to discover what needs must be met and what is necessary for you to fulfill those needs. How often have you said "I'll get to that:' "I should get out of this relationship:' "I should tell my boss how I really feel:' "I should be able to find someone for a relationship."

When we use the word should, the motivation comes from the outside (what you believe others think is correct or right for you---not necessarily what will actually work for you).  Through Coaching, you can explore ideas, try new ways of doing things, and express yourself in a supportive and guiding environment.

Coaching is about helping you get what you want!


It provides tools to help you discover new opportunities; it gives you solutions while creating "shifts." (Shifts are new viewpoints with the same circumstances.)  By shifting your perspective, you discover new opportunities and solutions which, in turn, create instant change.  The one-on-one relationship with a Coach is about personal excellence.
