"Warm and Fluffy" Definition of Life Coaching

As promised in a previous post here it is a "warm and fluffy" description of Life Coaching, courtesy of Neil Asher of the New Insights Life Coaching Ltd company of which I trained with. This piece describes life coaching as well as the relationship between Client and Coach:

Imagine a relationship where the total focus is on you, on what you want in your life, and on what will help you achieve it.

Imagine someone listening, not only to your words, but also what’s behind them and to the spaces between the words.

Someone in tune with the nuances of your voice, with your emotion, your energy, receiving everything you communicate and listens to the very best in you, even when you cannot hear it in yourself.

Imagine someone who will hold you accountable and keep you moving forward towards your dreams and goals.

Imagine a relationship with someone who is totally curious about your dreams and aspirations, at what makes you tick and what you value above all things. Someone who wants to know what you are most passionate in your life. Someone who will help you clarify your goals and provide you the tools for action and learning that leads to the results you want.

Imagine a relationship in your life with someone who is sometimes even more committed to what you want in life than you are.

Imagine what it would be life if someone knew your values and your life purpose and was holding you true to them. Someone who will hold the flag at the top of the hill, encouraging you to press on, someone to celebrate your victories with and help you learn from your setbacks.

Imagine a relationship with someone:

- Who will absolutely tell you the truth – the truth about where you are strong!

- Who knows where you sell yourself short.

- Who knows you can handle it and knows that’s what you want.

- Who sees how big you can be and constantly holds that image for you – even when you can’t hold it for yourself!

Imagine someone who listens to you without judgement and allows you to show emotion – in fact accepts you without analysing you.

Imagine you get to talk to this person every week, even when you have just made a mess of things or when you’ve had great success. This is the place you visit regularly and consistently to consolidate, to integrate, and to push on!

Imagine a relationship where you finally break free of those self-limiting conversations you have 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.

In a simple and beautiful, caring and loving way, this is what a life coach can offer a client in their sessions together. Is this something you would benefit from? Is this what you have been searching for?
