Well, I've never had such a busy month!!

What with new clients starting their coaching journey with me. Learning new things about themselves all over again! Learning to think more positivley, for themselves and their family.

Getting married was a big part of my easter break!

Life Coaching Relationship
 

A coaching relationship works when your coach is focused, powerful and supportive to you in your achievement of your overall goal. The coaching relationship works when the client has made the decision to change your life and want goal achieving guidance and support.

Most of my clients have wanted to change, but have not been sure on the direction they want to go. After a few sessions with me, it becomes clearer for them. It's what happens between the sessions that are important for the client. Clients turn up to the next session with me, telling me what they've achieved, and have started or completed the things that they meant to do ages ago.

My clients are accountable for their actions; they have found the momentum to get going again with my help. Good coaching is using communication to help clients find answers for themselves.

The relationship between a coach and client is akin to any relationship where by needing to learn, and getting to know each other, a sense of trust is built that allows clients to tell the truth about their lives.

My clients come to me because they see something in me that they like. I'm an approachable person, have a great sense of humour, sense of fun, and I always see the positive side of everything. I like the fact that my clients come back to me after the previous session full of enthusiasm and positive energy.

But the difference between a coach and a friend, or relative is that the coach does not bring in his or her agenda into the conversation, or doesn't want the client to make changes that will affect him/her. Between the coach and client is non- judgmental support and encouragement.

The coaching process usually lasts a minimum of 3 months, but will be for however long the client needs or wants coaching to achieve the his / her goal.

For coaching to truly work the client usually has a desire to change, a willingness to learn or check out the implications and consequences of what the client wants to achieve. The client must have the right attitude and assumptions to change.

Building an effective coaching alliance between coach and client means that I have to help all parts of coaching journey which the client can develop and grow which will help him become more integrated as a whole in achieving his overall goal.

Feel free to give me a call or email me about what life coaching can do for you, it will give you back the power to make decisions confidently.
