There are three thoughts I want to share with you today about what it is like working with a life coach:
Self-confidence.
Positive changes.
Reaching goals.
There are as many as 25,000 life coaches in the country, coaching up to a quarter of a million people, so it's a valid question: does life coaching work? Well, according to some recent studies, it does work.
In fact, 90% of people who enter into a life-coaching arrangement in order to increase their self-confidence do just that. Research has also shown that, even for people not specifically looking for that outcome, 50% of them experience a higher level of self-confidence.
And what about positive changes? Do they occur when you work with a life coach?
"Our research shows that those who work with a professional coach not only attain success in the goal areas which initially led them to seek a coach, but...find themselves enjoying positive changes in other areas of their life as well... in their relationships, wellness and other parts of their business or personal lives."
Finally, and most importantly, the majority of people who enlist a life-coach do it so that they can reach their goals. But does having a life-coach actually help that to come about?
"Statistics from the American Society for Training and Development provide insight into why working with a coach might be better than working alone. The data indicate that a person's probability of achieving a goal increases from fifty percent to ninety-five percent when the plan for goal attainment is committed to another person and there is a specific accountability appointment with the person to whom the commitment was made."
"This is the essence of the coaching arrangement, shared commitments with accountability to the coach."
Are you looking for a way to reach your goals? Please give me a call - I'd love to talk with you about how we could work together in order to make that happen.
