Vancouver Life Coach
When is working with a life coach most useful for you? The best time is sooner rather than later. You don't need to wait for a significant issue or problem to solve. Developing a relationship with your own Vancouver life coach right now may prove to be an excellent decision.
working with a life coach - what's involved?
Working with your coach is a very personal experience. You need to be honest and open or you'll be wasting your time and your coach's time. Effective coaching means the coach needs to know and understand you; your strengths and weaknesses, your behaviours and attitudes, your goals and aspirations.
For a coach to really know about you, you need to build a long-term relationship. Then, should you have to face a serious issue, need advice or direction, or just want to work on personal development, you'll have already built a strong relationship.
The analogy of life coaching to sports coaching is a good one. Life coaching is very similar to coaching a sports team; where the coach needs to know the player well to understand how to play the individual in the team (the best position, the strengths and weaknesses, the history, and the ability of the player). In a life coaching relationship, the coach needs to know you very well.
is coaching certification important?
Make sure your coach is certified; all Electra Health Floor life coaches are certified. Certification ensures that you'll be working with a well trained professional. Certified life coaches approach coaching with 'whole brain' thinking techniques (using both IQ and EQ), with effective problem solving and decision making techniques, and are goal and results orientated. To allow oneself to be advertised as a professional certified life coaching practioner, adhereance to strict ethical guidelines as well as high professional standards is mandatory.
professional certified life coaching practitioners are:
- trained to be excellent active listeners – to really hear what you have to say
- good questioners – able to challenge your assumptions and your beliefs and move you forward
- able to raise your awareness of the environment around you to help you become more self-aware
- supportive and experienced
- focused on working with you to build action plans that will move you forward – towards your goals
- trained to keep you accountable for your progress, or lack of it (no excuses)
why work with a coach on personal issues?
Are you happy with your life? Have you achieved all you want to achieve? Do you wake up every day feeling like it's going to be a great day, that you have a lot to accomplish and need to get up and get going? If you want to make a positive change in your life, work with a trained professional. Your coach will help you get where you want to go (but first, will make sure you recognize where you want to go).
