Perfectly sane people sometimes experience obstacles in their ability to move forward in their personal life or their career…
Have you ever felt stalled? Helpless almost? So caught up in your own fears of what the future holds that your decision making capabilities don’t feel as reliable as they usually are? There are two primary areas that this phenomenon falls into.
Stop for a moment and answer these questions:
1. If you are feeling down, is it keeping you from taking care of your responsibilities to the people and situations in your life?
2. Have you lost interest in the little pleasures of life?
3. Are you sad most of the time?
4. Do you lack the motivation to make things better?
If you answered yes to any of these questions and your feeling of being stalled has lasted for more than 3 months, chances are you need to see a doctor, get a physical and check things out with a therapist to get the help you need to get your life back on track.
On the other hand, if what you are experiencing is a feeling of being stalled in your personal or career decision making abilities and could use some help in sorting out what you really want to achieve and how to get there, what you really may need is a coach. Coaches are trained professionals who know how to help their clients gain clarity in their lives around their goals and dreams and then go after them to make them real.
I’m a coach, certified in empowerment coaching, which means I help empower people to unstall their lives or careers and get things going. Here’s how:
It all starts with a complimentary session. At that session, the client brings me three things they would like to change through coaching. These three things need to be actionable goals. In other words, not about feeling better, but about doing or achieving something. Often, people come to a session with a goal like I want to get my finances in better shape or I want to meet and marry my soul partner or I want to find a better job. I’ve also heard goals like I want to improve my jumping or I want to find a new career or I want to write publish my first book.
But, what happens when the client sets a goal and simply doesn’t do it, doesn’t follow through on what they say they most want to achieve?
Believe it or not, this happens often in a coaching relationship. Hence the need for a coach. When it happens, coaching begins. Some of the tools the coach uses include activities that help the client build on past successes, exercises that allow the client to speak with the parts of herself that don’t want to do what it takes, and being an accountability partner to the client to help the client stay on track.
If you or a friend could use some help deciding on your life or career goals and/or sticking to and achieving the goals you set, give me a call! We can set up a complimentary consult to see if coaching and the way I work as a coach are for you!
In the meantime, thanks for reading and see you next time!
All the best,
Coach Bev
