Why would I need coaching?

Shoulds vs. Inner Needs:

Many people are tired of doing what they feel—or have been told they "should" do. They are ready to do something they decide is special and meaningful with their lives. But they are not sure just what that is. Or, if they have an inkling, they can't see a way to reorient their life around this new focus or direction. A coach can help.

Real Accomplishments:

People are realizing how simple it can be to accomplish something that several years ago might have felt out of reach or like a pipe dream. A coach is not a miracle worker (although they frequently occur that way!) but a coach does have a large "tool kit" of distinctions, questions and ideas to help that "Big Idea" become a Reality. Fortunately, people now have time and resources to invest in themselves in this kind of growth.

Spirituality:

Many people are searching for a way to be more spiritual, but they are not sure just what that means or how to achieve it. A good working definition of spirituality is the way a person connects with their inner selves, with people around them, and with the universe in general. The coach can help the client explore any or all of these arenas, and to connect more powerfully to each.

Complexity and Change:

Finally, the world is becoming more complex by the day; and the pace of change is accelerating rapidly. Many clients are unsure of themselves in a constantly changing world of which direction to take, how to tackle unusual new challenges, and how to achieve on a frequently changing playing field. A coach is trained to ask the kind of questions that help clients understand themselves and their world, make the right decisions, and move forward with confidence (ICF Los Angeles).
