Life coaching is derived from sports coaching. Sports coaches get their athletes to concentrate on their ultimate goal. They then break the achievement of that goal down into sub goals and then work towards the main goal by achieving the sub goals.
At your first free consultation Nick will work with you on sorting out what your main goals in life are and how you think should be prioritised. Most people go the first consultation with little idea what these might be. Nick will use techniques to help the client to work out and understand what these are and how they can be achieved.
At this initial consultation Nick will establish if you are ready for life coaching or if there are other major issues that need sorting first. These may require specialist or medical intervention before it is appropriate to proceed with the life coaching process.
Once the goals have been agreed with the client the coaching will take place over a number of months. It is usually thought that 5 consultations over a 3-month period will be enough to show progress. At that point the coaching will be reviewed and future action determined.
You have to enter coaching knowing that there are things in your life that need changing for the better and be willing to work with the coach on changing them. The central feature of life coaching is that it deals with the present and the future and that all energy and motivation comes from within the client but is released with the help of the coach. You will not be asked about past events or your failures or fears. You will be encouraged to recall successes and to build on them.
Nick is especially keen to work on building the individuals self-esteem and confidence enabling them to succeed in whatever it is that they want to achieve.
Life Coaching is constructive and structured listening. You will have Nick’s undivided attention and will, with his help, be able to come up with a viable plan for self-improvement. He will help you with the formulation and implementation of the plan but you will always be in control.
You have nothing to lose and much to gain by booking the first free session.
