I have heard about Life Coaching. Well, I have a few minutes. What is it?
Life coaching is a forward thinking, compassionate, collaborative, interactive, caring, objective, and professional partnership based upon equality between you and me that helps you achieve your personal, family, relationship, career, transitional, spiritual, business goals and more. Together, we acknowledge and accept you for whom and what you are now. We then prepare a list of your current and future goals and objectives. You prioritize them and collectively we design the steps necessary to achieve what you want. This becomes your action plan. The remainder of our coaching includes monitoring, revising, completing your action plan and then celebrating your success.
I want a Life Coach with lots of coaching knowledge and skills. How long ago did you discover Life Coaching?#
Dr. Dick Borough, a practitioner in Palo Alto, California, used the term to describe his leadership development activities in 1985. In 1979, I created several school-based Prevention Teams that included students, teachers, counselors, clergy, administrators and parents. The foundation and concepts that I developed for the Prevention Teams are considered coaching by today's professional standards. In 1983, I founded and directed the Phoenix, Arizona based Southwest Institute where I trained fifty instructors to teach what we know today internationally as life and business coaching to the public, many businesses, and corporations. The training concepts and principles that I developed for Southwest Institute were more extensive than the certification training provided by current life coaching schools.
There seems like hundreds of coaching websites. Why are there so many?
My college Sociology professor taught the value of having a genuine sense of belonging. He believed that without this sense of belonging, we could experience anomie. This is a feeling of disorientation and alienation. We want to become natural and authentic -- now. For you to create a healthy lifestyle and a sense of belonging, it helps to establish a partnership with a compassionate, intuitive, innovative, inspiring, challenging and strong motivator who serves as your Life Coach. Exponentially, people are discovering that Life Coaching is especially effective and that measurable results can begin almost immediately in some significant areas. Coaching with a professional expert is more socially acceptable than working with a counselor. This is particularly true with men who want effective and reasonably quick ways to achieve personal and business fulfillment without having to delve into their childhood.
