More of life: A coach works with clients on all areas of their life – helps them integrate what works and get rid of the rest A coach helps clients wet goals that align with the cline’s true values and not other expectations – no should, could or ought to. A coach expects clients to invest in increasing the quality and depth of their life experiences and holds them accountable for achieving these aims More money: Most clients report that they are netting and saving more money during and after coaching When clients focus on money and identify work that they love to do it increases their drive and self-worth and they will probably make more of it A coach helps clients focus spending on what is important to the client’s goals and to develop new ways to earn more Better decisions: Clients discuss ideas and concerns with the coach, who is independent. Coaching will usually lead them to make decisions that are more effective and relevant to their life A mirror always helps. Winners are always willing to get feedback and ideas from others and coaches help identify ‘blind spots’ in the client’s perceptions of the world that when removed allow much greater understanding and success Faster development: Provided that the client is interested in ‘growing’ themselves, the coach can more rapidly and powerfully increase their rate of person development The coach can help a client zero in on the blocks (eg limiting beliefs) that are holding them back and resolve them so the client can move forward and focus upon what is truly important to their future Coaches assist clients to find clarity and purpose in their life that would be difficult to perceive on their own. More solutions: A coach helps the client extend their boundaries beyond a level of ‘comfortable’ experience – increasing their confidence and capacity to handle many situations. A coach often helps a client to significantly raise their communication skills that enable them to better understand accept and influence those around them When the client is working on goals that express their values, they are open to more creative and innovative ways to achieve these Whatever challenges a client faces in life and whatever goals they want to meet to achieve their full potential, clients NEED someone to meet and be with, to discuss the tough stuff and to plan their achievement of the great stuff What is the Coach – Client relationship? Imagine a relationship where the aim is to listen to and focus only on you, on your goals and dreams in life, on what will help you achieve it, Imagine a relationship with someone: Who is totally interested and supportive of your dreams and aspirations and wants you to get there Who really wants to know what makes you tick Who can help you to identify and to work with your values Who will explain and work with you to use tools for growth and learning that lead to the results you want Who is sometimes even more certain and focused on achieving your aspirations that you are Imagine someone who is intent on understanding all that you communicate – who listens to: not just your words but what’s behind them- what’s lying in the spaces in between those words to the language of your body to the nuances of your voice and looks to how you show you are really feeling to the very best aspects of you, even when you can’t see them in yourself to what you believe about yourself to what you truly want in life Imagine a relationship with someone who will absolutely tell you the truth the truth about where you are strong where you sell yourself short someone who know you can handle it and knows that’s what you want someone who sees how BIG you can be and constantly holds that big image for you – even when you can’t hold it for yourself. Imagine someone who listens to you: without judgment and allows you to show emotion in fact accepts you without analysing you imagine you get to talk to this person regularly when you’ve just made a mess of things when you’ve had great success Imagine a relationship where you finally break free of those self-limiting conversations you’ve been having over the years where the voices of sabotage are simply noticed for what they are and the powerful part of you is always encouraged.
