Life Coaching, One Goal at a Time

My goal in life coaching is very simple: get people to where they want to be.

I start by finding out what their strengths are, and then we set small goals for them and create an accountability structure that ensures each of these small goals get the proper attention. And each goal is met.

One goal at a time.

I start out meeting with a client once a week for three consecutive weeks. After that I usually feel like I have an idea where they're at, and where they want to be, so we'll schedule out our meetings accordingly. Some want to continue to meet weekly - they want to maintain close contact and strict accountability and are serious about reaching their goals quickly. Others choose to meet every other week, taking more responsibility on to themselves for setting and reaching goals. Occasionally, as time goes on and the person meets their goals and knows where they are headed, they may only come in once a month for a tune up.

Whatever the schedule looks like, it still revolves around creating a path toward success, a path of small goals lined with accountability.

So who needs a life coach? Right now I'm working with all kinds of different people - some are married couples who feel stuck in a rut relationally and want to turn their average marriage into an exceptional one. Others are single folks who are relationally challenged and want to get outside of the box they've created.

I'm also beginning to take on business clients - business men and women who feel that they are ready to take another step in their career, or bring their business up a notch. Research done by http://allbusinesscoaching.com states that:

"A telecommunications company received 529% return on investment (when they hired coaches for their employees) along with intangible benefits . . . Kodak’s coaching program for 1,000 employees delivered double digit increases in employee productivity . . . What these statistics suggest is that an effective business coaching or training program or an executive coach can deliver at least $2 for every one dollar invested. This investment is quickly recovered due to the immediate increase in individual performance."

No matter who the person, or what the situation, or where they're headed, I've seen first hand how life coaching can take someone caught in an ordinary life and release them into their strengths and gifts.

If you feel stuck in a rut relationally or personally, or feel your career or business has stalled, contact me. I would love to hear more about your situation and talk to you about why bringing me on as your life coach could make a huge difference.
