Another 5 ways Coaching can help you Progress. (post3)











Hi again everybody,

Well, here we are on our third post about how Life Coaching can help you progress on your Journey to Success, Happiness, Contentment or whatever it is you are pursuing in your life. I have another five great reasons why everybody should hire a good coach, and get cracking on the new life you promised yourself some time ago. I'd also like to remind you all here about my unique way of Empowering and Energising clients throughout my Group Coaching process...it is of course Drumming. Yes, Drumming, hand drumming to be precise. In future posts I want to explain to my readers exactly how this process works, and how this drumming and Coaching go hand in hand. That's all something to look forward to, but let's get back to this post now and have a look at our next five motives for hiring a Coach,

1. Coaching can help Develop winners.

People who seek Coaching are generally people who want to progress in life...to improve their current situation and advance in life. They have a vision for their future, they know they can do better with the skills and/or talents they have been gifted with. They feel they are only somewhere in the "race", maybe even in the leading pack, but they will never be satisfied with that....they want to be Winners. They want First place. Not in any egotistical way, but in a self-fulfilment type of way. It's a challenge for them. Coaching can instil that "Winning" feeling in them. A feeling of being first past the post, not second or third. A good Coach can make you feel like a winner...before the race even starts.

"If you don't see yourself as a winner, then you won't perform as a winner"

2. Coaching can Establish a Pathway forward.

We often seek Coaching when we are lost. Lost in the sense that we are not sure of our next move. We might know what we want, but cannot figure out the next step to take to get us closer to it. It's a very frustrating place to be, and often it's the time when many give up. It's a time when we see only problems, difficulties, troubles and snags. Ironically this can often be when we are very, very close to reaching our goal, and the last thing we need to do now is quit. But often we do. Good Coaching can illuminate the pathway for us at times like this. A good coach will support you and assist you to uncover the real obstacles that you must overcome, and facilitate a change of perspective that will demystify the situation and disclose a clear pathway forward.

3.Coaching can Build Inner Strength

Many people can appear to be extremely strong and confident in working and social situations, and this is good. This is what we all strive to be. However, this strength and confidence does not come from external things or situations. To be truly strong and confident, it must be Internal...coming from inside to out...not the reverse. Pretending to be strong and confident on the outside will never build true inner strength and confidence. This has to be planted inside you, like a seed, and it will grow and flourish and be a natural part of your personality. The sad thing is that most people have never sown this seed (yes, some have of course and that's great) but believe me most people have very little inner strength or confidence. Why? because they have never worked on it....simple as! Coaching is a great place to start working on yourself from the inside. A good Coach can help you find who you really are, and teach you how to be truly self-aware. This is when the seed of inner strength and confidence is sown, and continuous Coaching will help bring about a harvest of positive inner strength and confidence which will eventually blossom into a natural exterior colourful bouquet.

4.Coaching can Provide much needed Support.

If I had a penny for every time I turned down some kind of support, convinced I could do it all on my own, I would be a wealthy man. There is something about human nature that makes us feel uncomfortable about asking for help...or accepting it when it is offered. Why is this so? After all, people generally love helping out others, it makes them feel good. Perhaps it's a sense of feeling inadequate, or just our pride, or maybe we just think that nobody can do it as good as we can. This I can tell you is not a good way to be. When you need help...ask for it. It's always there. If not in the first place you look, then the second or third.. it will come. The best place to find help and support is through a good Life/Business Coach. These professionals are trained to be supportive, encouraging, understanding and loyal, which is exactly what you need when you hit a stone wall in terms of knowing what to do next, and they are caring people, that is why they choose a helping profession...they want to help. So don't be shy or slow about reaching out and unearthing a top class Coach.

5. Being Coached will Encourage you to stay with any task.

When we are pursuing any goal it's so easy at times to feel dejected, defeated or discouraged. Things are on track one day, the next day all seems to have gone pear-shaped. We can start to wonder if we are wasting out time, or are we travelling down the wrong road altogether. This type of feeling can bring us down, and often make us feel like quitting. More often than not this is just a case of running into unforeseeable obstacles, or circumstances changing that are not in our control, or even just plain bad luck. Nevertheless, whatever the cause, it can set us back in time, effort, enthusiasm, energy and commitment. What you need now is some encouragement. Some uplifting words, advice, or suggestions, to lift your spirits and fill your soul once again with the passion and excitement you had before. Coaches come across people in this position all the time...and they know how to fix them. Never underestimate the power of encouragement. The right words of encouragement at the right time can halt dejection in its tracks. A good Coach is an expert at uplifting and encouraging a sense of certainty that any complications, obstructions or barriers can be overcome. Never let the lack of encouragement hold you back for long...contact a competent Coach.

That's it  for this post guys. Your opinions and comments are always welcome. I'll be back soon with yet even more good reasons why it might be a good idea for you to consider Life/ Business coaching. Until then, you take care and God bless.

Eddie.
