If You are not Sure
Common reasons people approach me for
coaching
My clients are people who are doing well in life but feel that it not enough. They seem to be ticking most of the boxes from a society point of view but something is not right!
They want to understand how to achieve work and life balance, feel more empowered, be free from worry, and live lives that are more fulfilling.
Some of the situations I have coached my clients for include:
“There is no abuse in my relationship, but I do not feel loved or appreciated”
“I am tired of feeling tired all the time”
“My teenage son/daughter just does not listen to me”
“I want to get my ex back”
“I think I want to get out of this relationship but just do not know how”
“I find that I am always worrying about others”
“I get paralyzed worrying about what will happen in the future”
“I want to just go off on a retreat for some instant stress-relief”
“Days are just going by…but I want more from life – but I do not know what”
“I’ve done everything by the book and yet things are not good enough”
“My partner cheated and I don’t know what to do”
“I want to learn ways to deal with stress”
“I want my life to be/feel more fulfilling”
For some it was a mere 3 months of work and for others it took longer, but each of these clients finished their coaching sessions with me feeling empowered, stress free, and on the path towards Living Their Best Life!
FAQs
What does a Life Coach do?
The main aim of a life coach is to nurture your personal development to help you achieve your fullest potential.
In other words, a life coach is a co-creator, a partner who is by your side to listen deeply, ask skilful questions, and be fully present to you in order to help you identify what you want and how to get it.
When you work with a life coach, you can develop a deeper understanding of your personal goals and what you want your future to be.
A life coach helps you see your blind spots, and challenges your fixed views, so that you may deepen your connection to yourself and others.
Coaching is medium that can help you develop holistically into who you are and what you want to be. It allows for higher levels of achievement, satisfaction and ease with being yourself.
What is an Empowerment Coach?
There are times in your life when you feel overwhelmed with the things around you. You may feel that life is not going in the direction you want and yet, you feel powerless. Stress levels at work are driving you mad. Relationships are going southwards. The balance between work and play is completely tilted. You feel your life force is chaotic and not calm or at peace.
These are the times when an Empowerment Coach can help you identify why you are feeling helpless and the manner in which you can move forward in the direction you want. Empowerment coaching involves areas like stress management, work-life harmony, self-confidence, self-care, positive thinking, and stable relationships.
How can a Relationship Coach Help me?
Relationship coaching is not relationship advice or marriage advice. It is not break up advice either. It is a process of self-discovery where you can assess relationships more objectively with the support, motivation, and intuitive questioning of the relationship coach.
Relationship coaching covers areas like pre-marital stress, break-ups, marriage coaching, divorce coaching, sibling relationships, teenage-parent relationships and more. It also involves effective management of other relationships like in laws, friends, co-workers, and networks!
What Coaching is NOT
How Does it Work?
Typically, a coach will listen carefully to what you want to achieve, be a great sounding board, ask questions that nudge you to think deeply and challenge you to discover your own solutions. For this a coach may use a variety of tools to inspire, build confidence and facilitate brainstorming and discovery.
What is your Process?
What is Expected from a Coachee (you)?
You also need to understand and acknowledge that you are responsible for your results. Success is directly related to your commitment and the effort you make to this process.
