Hiring a life coach is a great example of how those seeking personal and professional expansion can take charge of the vision they have for their lives. In fact, some of high achievers have publicly vouched for the value of life coaching.

Oprah Winfrey said about working with her life coach “Coaching helps you stop the crazy mind chatter in your head that tells you all the time that you’re not good enough.” and Bill Gates said “Everyone needs a coach. We all need people that give us feedback. That’s how we improve.” Successful people don’t leave their progress up to chance — they grab it by the horns.

A Life Coach is the one trained to support, encourage, challenge and motivate you constantly to achieve your goals and full potential.  A Life Coach helps you discover how to overcome obstacles, identify your strengths and weaknesses, enables you to move forward, find your path and your purpose. The Life Coach is the one that can see and assess your situation with a bird’s eye view, something that you aren’t able to do by yourself and it’s priceless.

A Career Coach focuses more on helping you find your talent, your calling, your strengths and your career path that will bring you joy and a life time of accomplishments.

Life and Career Coaching works by having someone involved and invested in getting you to your goals with constant and steady support, encouragement and motivation, keeping you focused on the process and identifying options available to you, that you may not have ever considered.  Life Coaching is the way to achieve your goals and get there faster. Life Coaching works by dedicating your focus to a goal and then working with the Life Coach in a series of coaching sessions over a certain period of time to get closer and reach the set goal.

If you feel you are procrastinating, you are lost or stuck in a place or situation, you feel that you should be achieving a certain goal but something is in the way, you feel that is you change something everything else in your life will change but you don’t know what’s the thing that needs to be changed, if you feel your potential is a lot bigger then what you do now, that you don’t know your purpose, then you would need a Life Coach too.

During the introductory session there are established the areas and goals that need to be worked on in the series. In the same time there is a bond created between the Life Coach and the client to make the way to the goal more certain and pleasant.

The session series are designed to comfortably have the Life Coach guide the client on the direction that needs to be taken to reach the destination. Each session is a great opportunity to discuss obstacles and strategies, options and techniques to ensure the progress, to track the setbacks and to celebrate the small victories that can unlock the overflow of confidence and motivation to accelerate the way to the goals.

Both Life and Career Coaching sessions take approximately 50 minutes. These sessions are weekly, by-weekly or monthly, depending on your lifestyle and how fast are you willing to go to achieve your goals.

The industry standard spans a Life Coaching Session Series over 2 months with weekly sessions and dedicated to a goal with medium difficulty in achieving. Usually the Life Coaches design packages to serve 3 main types of goals: short term, medium term and long term goals.

Most of the sessions are conducted online via Zoom and additional there is e-mail and chat support.

Coaching costs about the same amount of money as seeing any health professional. Sessions prices are as low as 50USD and last about 50 minutes. Packages are available to suit your needs. The first coaching session, the introductory one, is free.

To get the best from Life and Career Coaching, you need to have a positive attitude towards the achievement of your goal, to be totally open, trusting and honest within the coaching relationship, to have the time and commitment to complete the actions that you will set yourself at the end of each session. All these will move you closer to your overall goal. Ultimately your level of commitment will directly influence the speed and extent to which your goals will be realized. To help you with all of this, the coach provides boundless motivation, support and encouragement within a confidential and non-judgmental environment.

The most powerful benefit of Life Coaching is having someone that is solely dedicated to you and the achievement of your goals, to have that person that will be able to show the flaws in your situation or plan and help you come up with a solid plan to achieve what you decided to do.

The other benefits you’re feeling when you start achieving goals after goals, when you change your lifestyle and mindset.

It’s a great way to form a Master Mind, in a non-judgmental, supportive, encouraging and motivating environment, with someone that will become a lifetime supporter.

Achieve the focus and discipline of keeping on track and the direction you set.
