For several years I had been buying magazines at the local grocery store only to get home and thumb through the photos of make-up clad vixens, advertisements of the latest creme that would help rid of my crow's feet, and free sample coupons of underwear from Victoria's Secret. Maybe six months to a year later, I would actually read some of the articles from these fashionista magazines in hopes that they held the key to life. Oddly enough, in one of those very magazines, I discovered the world of Life Coaching. Little did I know that this article actually did hold the key to my life!
I knew nothing about this amazing field but something about the title, "What do you know about Life Coaching?" caught my attention. As I sat cross-legged on my couch twirling my hair around my index finger, I fixated upon the words that eventually would lead me to my current profession as well as to a remarkable life. The article beautifully described what I had been searching for and yet it was under my nose for years and I had no idea.

So, let's cut to the chase: What is this thought-provoking, fun, and exciting world of Life Coaching?
Life Coaching provides an opportunity to see and live out your enlightened self, be all that you totally can be, and live your life according to your values and life purpose. It is not about going backwards in time, dwelling on the past and the bad that may have occurred in your life, rather it is about moving forward, deepening your personal learning and taking action steps to live the life you have always dreamed possible. It is about "stretching" out of your comfort zone, getting out of "stuck" and challenging yourself to play BIG in the world!
Our right on this planet is to live a glorious, fulfilling, enriched life, and if we are not doing so, then we are depriving the world of our incredible talents, skills, and offerings. Coaching shows us that playing small in the world gets us nowhere and therefore we are taking away from communities, families, friends and ourselves if we choose to play small. We are shown that we are "at choice" and can consciously and deliberately create the life we so desire. However, sometimes we need a little bit of help to play big in the world, a bit of motivating, accountability and praise and so that is where a your personal motivator, the coach comes in!
What does a Life Coach do exactly?
They navigate the way for you to see your full potential by asking thought-provoking, risky, and poignant questions. They challenge you to surpass any self-imposed limitations, and they increase any goals you may have set. By meeting with you three-to-four times per month either in-person or over-the-phone, they co-create, brainstorm, and develop action steps with you to get going on how you REALLY want to be living your life. They motivate, inspire, and cheer you on! By holding you accountable to your dreams, visions, and your heart's desires, they show you a way that you can have anything you wish to make your life more abundant, prosperous and joyous.
What are some of the benefits of Life Coaching?
I have to admit there are several benefits to working with a Life Coach, probably too many to mention here, but here is a delicious taste of just some of the benefits:
-Increased confidence and esteem
-More money
-Debt reduction
-Weight loss
-Less stress
-Finding your dream partner
-Better relationships with colleagues, family,friends, and self
-Getting that dream job, dream house, etc.
-Having fun again!
-Achieving work-life balance
-Pursuing a forgotten dream
and many,many more
How should you go about getting a Life Coach?
These days many people are calling themselves a "Coach." I caution you to be careful, ask for credentials and where they got certified. If they are bona fide, they would have gone through the proper training and attended an accredited school. This is a fabulous profession and the integrity of it should be preserved, so be sure to question your new potential professional about their training and experience.
Next, feel free to do several complimentary consultations with many different individuals until you find the right "fit" for you. It should feel as though you just know this is the right person to work with. There is a certain "gel" or energy that gets you excited to work with them.
Lastly, if you feel this Coach has your best interest at heart, has designed a fabulous alliance with you and has provided you with some good resources, then I say you have found a good match. Now, get ready to have fun, work, and experience your new and improved life!
Several years ago when I read that article about Life Coaching, I had an idea my life would be changed but I had no idea it would be changed this drastically. Today, I sit before you in Hollywood, California working as a full-time from home enjoying the freedom and flexibility that comes with being a business owner. Additionally, I am a speaker and workshop leader and am about to marry the man of my dreams. This all comes after having just returned from living and working in Spain and Portugal for six months (an 18-year dream!) as well as being a home-owner. Had I not worked with several professional and trusted Coaches, I truly believe I would still be working that full-time job I loathed so much, waiting sadly to move to Spain when I retired,and possibly not marrying the man of my dreams. Thank goodness such was not the case because I found a helping profession that helped keep me charged up about my passions and led me to positive results. It changed my life, it really did. And I know it will change yours, guaranteed!
