Life coaching

Finding your path to a brighter future with life coaching

I often find the experiences which clients have brought to us have served as a catalyst for important life changes. Have you been involved in any of these important events?

• Grief at the loss of a loved one
• Life-threatening illness
• Break up of an intimate relationship
• A major life milestone, e.g. significant birthdays
• Severe personal traumas, e.g. fire, rape or robbery
• Children leaving home (commonly known as 'empty nest syndrome')
• Loss of your job, or a career change
• Retirement
• Moving Home

What is life coaching?

If you have, life coaching could be for you. Life coaching can be viewed as partnering in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires you to maximise your personal and professional potential. The outcome is that you can expect to experience fresh perspectives on personal challenges and opportunities, enhanced thinking and decision making skills, improved interpersonal effectiveness, and increased confidence in carrying out your chosen work and life roles.

It is possible to engage with a life coach at any stage on your journey. The truth is that facing some of life's difficulties and dilemmas can create some stress and anxiety, but at the same time these also have the potential to act as awakening experiences for us. When we are properly focused and directed this can become a time which results in significant personal growth and development.

You can come to a life coach at any stage. If your life is awful we work to make it better. If your life is great we work to enhance it. It's just about getting more joy, more satisfaction and having a more positive impact in the world.

What is a life coach?

To explain what a life coach is, we can make a simple analogy. People go to a doctor to be healed when they are sick and to a personal trainer to improve their health. In the same way, someone might go to a therapist to improve their mental health and a life coach to take them to the next level of their potential.

At Career Discovery I create an environment where you can explore what's most important to you. I provide support as you travel the current of life's transitions and challenges, in order that you can achieve the outcomes and fulfilment that you really want and deserve.

Once a life coach has helped you to identify your goals, a life coach can be invaluable in helping you to prioritise them effectively, and encourage you to believe that they really are achievable.

Below are some of the areas which are commonly explored in life coaching sessions:

• Creating a richer more fulfilling life
• Identifying your personal vision for the future
• Learning techniques to alleviate pressure, stress and depression
• Achieving a life-work balance which gives you more energy and fulfilment
• Improving your performance and motivation
• Building your confidence and self-belief
• Aiding spiritual and emotional development
• Organisational skills and time management
• Effectively managing change and transition
• Developing your emotional intelligence through enhanced self-awareness
• Improving that all important health and fitness
• Developing your creative expression
• Learning how to achieve financial freedom
• Supporting your personal development to increase resilience
