What is Personal Development Coaching?
- Personal Development Coaching (also known as Life Coaching) is a powerful & purposeful outcomes-based dialogue between two individuals (the coach and the Coachee), where the coachee comes out feeling better, with a sense of clarity, focus and direction than when they started the conversation.
- During a life coaching session, life coaches do not provide the answers to challenges or problems to our clients – we merely guide the coachee to unlock their own powerful solutions through self-awareness, dialogue, critical thinking and in some cases using certain activities, techniques and tools.
- These activities, techniques and tools, in some settings, may be conducted during the session ( such as NLP techniques ), in order to aid the coachee in finding clarity, focus & direction – to achieve certain goals/make changes/overcome obstacles/fears/limiting beliefs…etc.
- The coach empowers the coachee, by helping them define and accomplish the desired outcomes or goals in both their personal and or professional lives.
- The coach aids their coaching clients in creating a systematic framework for such desired outcomes goal setting & planning, and they encourage the coachee within each step of the way (over a specific agreed-upon period of time).
- With a life coach at your side, you are more likely to reach those goals that otherwise might not be achieved on your own.
Is Life Coaching Therapy?
- Life coaching is distinct from giving advice, consulting, counselling, mentoring and administering therapy.
- A Therapist analyses their client’s past as a tool for understanding their client’s present behaviours, whereas a life coach simply aids a client in identifying and describing the current problematic behaviours or situation; so the client can work to modify them on their own.
- Therapists focus on the “why” of certain behavioural patterns; while coaches work on the “how” to work towards achieving a goal, driving the client to make the required changes for themselves.
- Life coaches do not give advice, they merely guide their clients through the conversation /dialogue/activities, during the coaching session, to find the ‘answers & solutions for their current situation; and aid their clients in setting an action plan to ensure the desired outcomes are achieved.
How long should I hire a life coach?
- Firstly an introduction session is arranged for 30 min at no charge.
- The requirements & desired outcomes for coaching and the duration would be agreed upon depending on the situation and the agreed-upon desired outcomes.
- Coaching sessions must be agreed upon for a set period of time (3, 6 months, a year or even longer). A minimum of 3 sessions commitment is required and payment is required upfront.
- Some clients meet with a personal development coach every week, while others prefer once a month, it is truly dependent on the coachee’s requirements. 3 sessions are the minimum sessions required in order to start making & tracking progress on your goals/changes needed or obstacles you wish to tackle.
- Some hire a coach for years others prefer to hire a coach for the duration of a specific project or goal that they wish to achieve.
- Prices for 90 min & 60 min slot sessions are below. A 90 min slot is offered, as not to ‘rush’ the coaching process, and give individuals the time needed to find focus, clarity and direction, especially when using NLP tools & techniques. Again this is based on each coachee’s preferences and availability.
- Some clients might ‘not know’ what the problem is, but realise they may require some changes in their life’s circumstances, and through the coaching session, identify what the ‘problem’ is, and what needs to occur in order to ‘solve’ these issue or unwanted circumstance(s).
