Why Coaching Works
The Four Factors That Keep You Stuck
There are four main factors that stop us from making big changes in our lives:
1. Lack of clarity about what we want
2. Lack of alignment with our purpose (i.e. conflicting beliefs, fears, doubts)
3. Lack of a plan
4. Lack of support
Working with a life coach can make the difference between staying stuck and creating the life you want.
The Four Keys to Success
The power of coaching comes from the brilliant way those four factors get turned into the four keys to success. And these keys happen to be the four principles of coaching:
1. Clarity - Coaching helps you discover exactly what you want in your life, even if you start without a clue. In a short time you will gain clarity, connect to your highest vision that excites and inspires you, and choose specific concrete goals to move towards. When you connect to what you really, deeply want, your passion is ignited and your energy is released, so it’s easy to move forward.
2. Alignment - Coaching addresses the psychological blocks, negative beliefs, conflicts, and fears that keep you at odds with what you say you want. Using simple techniques, we can help you dissolve those obstacles that have been holding you back. You will learn to align your mind, heart, and actions, using empowering and inspiring words, visions, and positive emotions (The Law of Attraction). You will find yourself moving forward swiftly, once you take your foot off the brakes.
3. Action - Coaching helps you create a realistic, detailed action plan, broken down into small enough steps to easily accomplish. It takes the mystery out of how to get from here to there. This is the step that brings your dreams down to earth where you can finally live them.
4. Support - Coaching, above all, provides support. Your coach listens without judgment, asks incisive, inspiring questions and brainstorms with you. She relentlessly upholds your highest vision. She helps you develop your plan, and keeps you accountable to the actions you choose and the values you cherish. She lifts you up when you get discouraged and stays with you through the process until you arrive at your goal. And then she helps you celebrate!
The Magic of Support
Each of these steps is indispensable. But if I had to choose one that is really a blessing, it is support. It was only after many frustrating years that I learned that I don’t have to do it all myself. In fact, I discovered that one of the keys to success is getting support, and that most successful people have plenty of it! As soon as I discovered this, I stopped blaming myself for not being Wonder Woman, and started making changes in my life.
Having the right kind of support can make the difference between staying stuck and breaking free. I discovered that coaching is that support, the very thing I’d been looking for, for years, and not known how to find. Coaching is so powerful that I became a coach, to support others in living their dreams.
