The Power of Coaching
The Power of Coaching
We all have possibilities to achieve even more than we have ever dreamed possible for ourselves. We want the life of freedom that these possibilities bring with them! In order to achieve this you have to move forward past where you are today. It involves showing up for yourself in some really big ways, probably bigger than you ever have before. How is this done when everything that you’ve ever known is the reason why you are still where you are today?
Our perspective must change.
Our point of view drives how we live and where we live. It’s why we eat what we eat and raise our kids they way we do and the way we did. Our perspective is based on our life experiences and how we’ve been raised. By hearing a certain point of view we subconsciously take it in as what we believe as well. It’s how we make sense of the world around us.
When we feel called to change our perspective, try new things, reach and achieve new goals and dreams it can be challenging to break out of the old way of thinking. You feel stuck because you have only been able to go as far as your perspective will take you.
You need new insights, and new ideas.
That’s exactly what a coach gives you. Coaches are trained to remove bias, remove old stories, remove practical and linear thinking and open up the mind to new possibilities. They help you shift your perspective that will then help you to shift your behavior.
And that takes time. Time is it’s the most valuable assist we have. We all have access to it, but that doesn’t mean that just because we have access to it we will get anything of value done with it! You see, time waits on no one. So whether you decide to take the steps necessary to get you into that next level living or not, it will keep on going. The problem is if you spend a lot of time trying to figure out which way you should be going, you only have your own perspective to be a marker to see where you need to be for the goal ahead. To put it simply, you spend a lot of time trying to figure out how you are still exactly where you were when you first started out.
They help you raise the bar.
A coach expedites growth. They help you to get to where you want to go faster because you have someone dedicated to helping you move past old behaviors. They do this by bringing a fresh perspective that move you towards your goals. They have an unbiased opinion about your future because it’s yours, they are there to help guide you to it. As long as you show up for yourself, they will show up too.
There will be accountability! How amazing is it to know you will have someone showing up for you in the good days ahead, to celebrate your wins, as well as the tough times where you need that someone to help you see how far you’ve been so you push past the throwing the towel in. It’s the encouragement you need presented in a way that makes you feel cared for so when you are pushed past your comfort zone you feel empowered to keep going.
They won’t let you quit, they are there to redirect and remind you of the goal you want out there in front of you. They ask the right questions so that you can reevaluate the journey as you go, keeping in mind your “why” and what’s at stake.
That “to do” list becomes a person that doesn’t feel so daunting! A coach is there to check in and make sure you are taking action. When something gets accomplished instead of crossing it out, you celebrate that its finished. I don’t know of any list that gives the kind of feedback we actually need to make sure we stay on task and get the things done that really need to be done.
They go deep and find the answers with you to all of the questions you would not have been able to ask yourself without having a bias about yourself. It’s part of their job description to empower you through new ways of thinking and being. The benefit to you is that it gets translated to new behaviors and habits that get you to your goals and dreams you wouldn’t have achieved on your own.
A coach helps you see possibilities about yourself you didn’t know could be possible. They help you unlock that inner strength inside of you to fuel the courage you’ll need to begin thinking and being and doing all that is inside of you. So that you become who you want to be, making your goals and dreams your reality.
