[Your] Life Coaching
Embrace Life, Level the Playing Field & Crush Goals
Coaching truly is the best vehicle to take you up to the summit of your life and overlook your personal vision. From that vantage point, you can easily look down upon your plan and decide the best course of action to take. You can connect your vision to an actionable strategy. The distance between where you are and where you want to be is clearer, more easily understood, and seems to be closer.
You're in control. You are the creative author and the most impactful, natural force in your own life. It's just that simple and only that complicated. The magic happens once you couple that vision with your plan of action and begin measuring your results.
So, you're in control. You are the creative author. You are the most impactful, natural force of your own life. But, is there more?
What else are you hiding from the world? What do you "just know," in your heart of hearts? What drives you? How has playing small kept you from taking control? An inquiry process akin to this, and of course through many more elements, helps us deeply examine our life and determine what will make it worth living to our fullest capacity.
This is your life and it is worth publishing for the world and we all need each other to maximize our potential. Recording your life and learning the personal lessons that matter most to you can't be done without documenting and measuring progress during your journey.
Before you start to navigate uncharted territory, the quality of your plan for going from where you are to where you want to be must be unparalleled. Many times this is less about the journey being uncharted territory as it is about the insecurity we feel as we start something new. It makes us feel vulnerable and, at times, inadequate.
There are few times when nerves and uncertainty don't get in our way. You can rest easy knowing that it means you are a normal, sane person experiencing the same uncertainty as everyone else. Harness those feelings, move toward your goal, but be sure you have internalized your purpose - the meaning behind what you are doing. This is the start of demystifying the magic found in your life as you step into who you want to become begin tracking your results.
What to Expect
Working with a personal Coach for "Life Coaching" is still unfamiliar for many. We all feel that the stakes in our own lives are high. That remains the same for every person that has worked with Preferred Coaching. Sometimes we are our own worst critics, or we demand unrealistically high standards for our work. Whatever the case may be, we should never lose focus on how we construct and move through our lives is important.
