N Canterbury Life Coaching
Life coaching helps you focus on what is important to you. The process helps you find your 'true north'. It is about setting priorities, goals and actions and reflecting on what works and what doesn't..
It is also provides accountability to keep you in track. As your coach I provide a safe, non-judgemental sounding board and ask questions to help you clarify your thinking and see all your choices. Think about learning anything new - maybe a sport, a language, driving. Initially it felt really difficult, something you would never master. After lots of practice it started to get easier...and in many cases, having someone there to give feedback and support made it so much easier! That is what I offer as a coach.
Dream it
We do a type of review - or audit. This is an opportunity for you to get to know yourself - your values, self-beliefs and motivations. Is your life balanced? Where are the gaps? What do you ideally want? Why do you want it? What is getting in the way? This process starts to tease out your values and beliefs.
From here you can start reflecting on the things you want from your life - your 'true north' as well as HOW you want to live your life.
Plan it
Armed with a clear direction, your life mission and your core values, you can then start setting some goals or objectives for each area of life. Things you want to achieve, to experience, to learn and to start doing/stop doing, to improve!
Live it
Once you have clarity on your life mission, goals and action plan, the next step is getting into action! From a coaching perspective, I am there to support you throughout your journey as well as to help you develop self awareness on what works for you and what you may want to change. I am also there to help you challenge your 'inner critic' and overcome any other challenges you may face in living your life mission and achieving your goals.
It is really difficult to be objective about ourselves and that is how I can help you. I can help you find your mission, set yourself goals and then keep on track. Throughout the process you will develop greater self-awareness and learn what works for you.
Practical stuff
Initially, 6 sessions are recommended, once a week to get you moving. For every hour with your coach, allow yourself 2 hours, minimum for self reflection and 'homework'! Once you have your plan sorted, you may want to carry on with coaching to keep you on track.
