4 Reasons Coaching Works
Nearly everyone would benefit from a coaching relationship because we all have gaps between where we are and where we want to be in any given area of life. The fact is, we are better together, and we weren’t meant to go through life alone. We all experience things that are difficult to navigate, and coaching provides a necessary sounding board to get to the root of the issue and find the strength to move forward. There are many reasons coaching is helpful, but here are few:
#1: Empowering
Life Coaching puts the Client back in the driver's seat of their life. The process of self-discovery and self-examination, coupled with a renewed sense of agency, is empowering and motivating. Coaching helps the Client overcome distractions and obstacles, determine what is most important to them, and discern practical steps to move forward and achieve their goals.
#2: Tailor-made
Life is not one size fits all, and neither are the solutions that will result in success. The Client is capable of determining their next right steps because they already know the answer! Coaching helps the Client uncover their unique solution that will enable them to accomplish their goals.
#3: Good Questions
Coaching interrupts automatic reactions and thought processes by asking intuitive questions. Life change only happens when thoughts change, and coaching questions create vital shifts in thinking that enable progress. Good questions can change your life!
#4: Active Listening
Sometimes we don't know what we think until we hear what we say. Through the powerful practices of active listening, reflection, affirmation, and observation, coaching helps the Client bridge the gap between where they are and where they want to be, step by step.
