Life Coaching: How Do We Work?
A 40 year-old company President was making more money in his life than ever before and reported that he was absolutely miserable. He was not sleeping, he felt a sense of anxiety and his blood pressure was up. We helped him by doing a Life Coaching process that began with a Core Values Analysis that revealed he was in internal conflict over his success to such a degree that he would sabotage himself. We helped him align his values and create an action plan to which he committed himself. Six months later, he reported feeling "back on track" and "happy with himself once again."A 32 year-old salesman contacted us because he felt his life was ‘out of
whack’. He was drinking too much, partying too much and unable to keep a
relationship going longer than a few months. We helped via Life Coaching, getting him focused on the future outcomes he wanted and by developing a life coaching plan to help him evolve mentally, emotionally and physically. He made a series of achievable changes over time, and within a year, he reported he felt in "charge of his life once again."A young woman was introduced to us because she wanted to make a
career change but didn’t know how to go about making this major transition in her life. Our Life Coaching process helped by having her take personality instruments that revealed her true talents and inclinations. We coached her over several months as she made the transition from the banking industry to becoming a real estate salesperson. This Life Ccoaching supported her making new choices that resulted in her reporting "feeling great about herself" and also doubling her income in the next 12 months.A 55 year-old business owner contacted us because he felt he would be dead in two years if he didn’t change. The problem was, he didn’t know how or what to change…he just knew he was on a downward spiral of depression and illness. Life Coaching helped by initiating a stress reduction program, bio-feedback and a Life Planning Process that helped him develop a compelling future vision for himself. In six months he reported that he was no longer depressed about his future, his marriage was revived, and he felt engaged in truly living once again.

build in more features, suffering what we call "feature creep."

The new features were dropped and the existing ones simplified. Sales went up over the next two years by 61%.A young successful CEO was on the verge of burn out and ready to walk away from the successful firm he was building. Our Leadership Executive Coaching process helped him create role clarity for his staff, establish clear lines of authority and accountability for his team, and coached him in not ‘taking the monkey’ off others' backs because he could. Six months later he reported he had "gotten his life back" and was now able to spend him time on the important tasks in building his business. More importantly, he reported that the Life Coaching process supported him in having a greater sense of joy in his life.We met a small but high profile management team in the movie animation business. They were on the brink of closing up shop because they were losing money. We helped them figure out a new and compelling vision and strategy for themselves that fit the current market realities. Six months later they were focused, profitable and had a backlog of projects. The CEO reported this Leadership Coaching process made all the difference. The sales force for HVAC company wasn’t producing results. We worked with the sales team to identify seventeen critical sales skills necessary to sell into their market.

Current State > Transition > Future State
LIFE COACHING IS ALWAYS ABOUT TRANSITIONS:
Where are you right now?
FOUR STAGES OF TRANSITION
1. Denial - When you are confronted with the need for, or reality of, a major work or life change, it is natural for your body and psyche to react by entering an initial state of denial. You may feel numb and continue to do things the way you have always done them in the past, even when this is no longer appropriate. Life Coaching can help you get clear about the nature of the change that is coming or is underway so that your mind can begin to catch up with your changing reality.
2. Resistance/Procrastination - Once you recognize that you are in the midst of a major transition, the next common reaction is resistance triggered by fear, anger, or confusion. Life Coaching can help you to identify what is getting in your way (e.g., limiting beliefs and assumptions) so that you can move through it or leap over it.
3. Exploration of Possibilities - This stage begins with the acceptance that, "This is where I am," and "This is what I have to work with." The focus here is to discover what possibilities and opportunities might exist in your new reality. Life Coaching helps you to expand your awareness of the possibilities that exist and explore options in light of who you are and what is most important to you. As you begin to see and pursue new possibilities, hopefulness, excitement, and momentum begin to fill your sense of identity and purpose.
4. Commitment - In order to move beyond an ongoing analysis of endless possibilities, it is important to identify and commit to a vision and a path so that you can move on.
Life Coaching can help you create a vision, mission, and strategy so that you feel more energized and the way ahead becomes clear.NEED Life Coaching HELP WITH YOUR TRANSITION?
