Life coaching is effective when you need to identify a goal that compels you, along with strategically planning how to achieve it - and how to not get stuck!
We can discover your motivators and look at the stressors that usually disrupt you.
As 2 examples of different approaches to this:
is motivated by freedom and likes options and challenges. He will become stuck if he feels restricted or has to follow step by step instructions. His plan will be organic and open-ended, with me cheering him on.
avoids risk, likes details and rules - she will want clearly defined steps with lots of feedback. I will give assurance as her buddy.
Firstly, how committed are you? You need to be clear with yourself that you want the change to happen in your life.
What's the timeframe?
What strengths will contribute to achieving the first steps?
What are you feeling about the challenges?
Do you have an awareness of where you want to be and how to connect with who you want to be with - in whichever area of your life matters right now?
What would that issue be like if it was one number higher than where it is now on a scale of 1 - 10?
NLP/NEURO LINGUISTIC PROGRAMMING
If there are negative emotions and beliefs that are blocking you, we will use techniques that resolve these in a safe and successful way. As your coach, I act as a partner in you being accountable, which helps with motivation.
You will explore options and get creative with solutions. I will provide encouragement and check in with you as you tackle any markers towards progress.
We will use actionable strategies and your commitment to your goals will have a clear direction that can achieve real change.
Motivation can shift from being away from what you do not want to "Towards Motivation", which has a lot more energy and resilience built in - we all do this differently, so we will find your way.
Notice how you come up with a refreshed approach as you take each successful change step.
SPECIFIC - you know exactly what your outcome will look like/feel like/sound like AND is it compelling?
MEASURABLE - you have a specific plan to complete doable chunks with accountability built in
ACHIEVABLE - you have or will have the mindset, attitude, resources and skills to make your outcome happen
REALISTIC - being honest about all circumstances in your life - health, relationships, anything else
TIME-BOUND - you have a timeframe to create forward momentum, check it fits
