What can you change in your life working with a coach? How about – everything.
There is no limit to the impact coaching can have when we are ready to dig in and work the tools because while we may come to coaching with one goal in mind the ripple effect is inevitable. And we already know this - we see every single day how integrated and entwined all the many aspects of our lives are.
We can start from any goal - to lose weight, get the job, improve a relationship, find inner guidance - and the tools used will always lead us back to the one person under our control – ourselves. And your coach has one goal in mind – to get you more of what you want by supporting you in and into your power.
In my life coaching has led me back to my power through a new looking at my responsibility. And I sure didn’t think that’s where I was starting from or what I was looking for.
After decades of being defined by roles of Mom, wife, daughter, colleague I came to a new freedom. My children were grown. My relationship was solid. My Mom was healthy. I had no need to work a 9-5 (or 7-10 which was more often the reality). I had room to ask now what? What do I want to create in this next act of my life? I can’t remember the last time I had asked these questions of myself. I had lots of thoughts about what I didn’t want, unfortunately I had little idea of what I did want.
So I promptly threw myself back into old moulds and spent the next several years struggling to rationalize what was going on. Why were my kids so annoyed with me all the time? Why was work so not-great? Why did my husband seem to ask me if I was ok every other day? Nothing seemed to really fit anymore. I was in a constant state of simmering agitation.
Then I found life coaching.
I brought my big questions to every session, every training. What am I doing? Who am I? Where, how do I want to spend my next decades now that I can choose? What will be my contribution and life legacy? Also - what do I even find fun anymore? And I wanted an answer, truly wanted an answer, to which I could align everything in my life for this next act.
I really wanted someone to tell me, point me in the direction, set some goals.
Hmmm…
Baron Baptiste says “we either have the life we want or we have the list of reasons why not.”
My list of why I didn’t have the life I wanted pretty much consisted of one reason – no-one had told me what it was.
Imagine! Someone else was going to tell me what and how to get my dream life..!
Coaching showed me how I was avoiding my responsibility to create my life. It showed me where and how I was playing safe. It showed me why I was trading the security of unhappiness for the risk of joy. And then – it showed me how to take it all back under my control and action.
