WHY HAS LIFE-COACHING BECOME SO POPULAR?

When large corporations provide life-coaching to their managers and executives, you know that its more than a new age fad. 

I think life-coaching has flourished for a couple of reasons.  Its an opportunity for you to step off the treadmill of life for an hour, get some perspective on where you are and where you want to go, and then proceed in a more thoughtful, intentional way. 

its also convenient. you don’t have to drive to an appointment. It takes place in a phone-call wherever you may be.

It also recognizes that improving your life is often a complex task and we usually need support as we navigate these new changes.  Many of us make New Years resolutions that typically get abandoned by January 14th.  That’s because making important changes in our lives requires more than determination and self-discipline.  It requires a process of self-reflection, innovation, action, and evaluation.  Life-coaching provides the space and the support for that process to take place.

My role, as your life-coach, is to stay curious, ask clarifying questions, and above all, to listen to you. Some people ask, “That’s it?!” All you’re going to do is listen?!” 

Don’t underestimate  the power of listening.  When we talk about something, we start by talking about what we know.  If we’re given the opportunity to keep talking, we start talking about what we didn’t know we knew.

Think of me as the midwife of your inner knowledge. Okay, maybe not a midwife but you know what I mean.
