Written by admin on March 5, 2012
Kath Lord Green and her exciting new company Insight, is a breath of fresh air in Dumfries and Galloway if you value the positives of Life Coaching. Insight does a lot more, but Kath took time out blow away the misconceptions of Life Coaching and told us what it is and what it does.
What is a life coach?
A life coach is someone who supports and encourages people to fulfil their potential and really make the most of their life. It helps empower individuals to take control of their life in various areas eg, career, finances, health, relationships, confidence and addictions.
It can be easy to lose direction in our lives and life coaching explores ways to enhance the skills, qualities and creativity we already have but may not be making the most of. Life coaching often involves exploring our attitudes, beliefs and values, discussing our aims in life and setting appropriate goals to help us to reach them. Unlike trying to achieve goals on our own, having a life coach should help to keep us committed, motivated and focussed. Just like sports men and women have their own coach, a life coach helps us to become the best we can be in our own lives.
What happens during a life coaching session?
Life coaching sessions are usually between 45 minutes and 60 minutes. Sessions are usually conducted face to face but are followed up with phone calls and/or emails.
During the session, you and your life coach will discuss certain aims and together you’ll set goals and work towards these. Although a life coach will work with you, it’s often up to you to challenge or reflect upon certain ideas to help you move forward with your life. You will not be forced to make any decisions you’re not comfortable with and the sessions are confidential, so you can explore your thoughts and feelings privately.
Life coaching is a partnership between you and your life coach, in which you will be encouraged you to explore how to make positive changes in your life. A life coach should offer support and feedback, and help you to stay focused on your goals.
A coach is beneficial to anyone, from top celebrities to housewives and small to large businesses. People who have used and are using coaches include Madonna, Ruby Wax and business giant IBM.
“Coaching is for people who want to take their life to the next level”
Already-successful people often use life coaches because they know the importance of making the most of every opportunity for personal growth.
So do you want a coach?
Do you want your life to be all it can be? Having a coach will help you achieve your goals by providing support and being dedicated to your success.
“Life Coaching is a broad church,” says experienced life coach Aboodi Shaby. “Ask 500 coaches what it is, you’d get 500 different answers.”
Until recently coaches were exclusively for top-executives, celebrities, athletes and the rich and famous. Today, with over 60,000 coaches on the planet, coaching has been made available to anyone and everyone.
