What Is Coaching And What’s In It For You?

You might have noticed that there are more and more coaches popping up. Maybe you’ve considered working with a coach or wondered what it would be like and what it could do for you?

Coaching has traditionally been associated with sports. All top athletes have a personal coach. Nowadays it’s quite normal for anyone to see a coach to help them achieve their goals both in their personal and professional lives.

It’s amazing what can happen when we just talk about things and have someone ask powerful questions that allow us to look at it from a different perspective.

Working with a coach gives you the chance to have your ‘me’ time and truly focus on what YOU want, what YOU need. You get to listen to your own inner voice and discover what really makes you happy. It’s very rare that we get this luxury in our everyday lives. I believe it’s invaluable to give ourselves the opportunity to positively improve our lives and to grow as a person.

Gratitude is one of the most powerful ways for us to get a happiness boost.

As human beings, we tend to focus on the negative and what we worry about rather than the positive and what makes us happy. It’s completely normal and it just makes us human.

With a simple daily practice, we can prepare our brain to actively look for and more easily identify positive moments throughout the day.

How to Figure Out What To Do Next in Your Career

Do you want to change jobs but are not sure what you want to do instead? Perhaps you still don’t know “what you want to be when you grow up”?

One thing you can start with (if you haven’t already) is to think about and become aware of what interests you, what you really enjoy and what motivates you.

Try not to focus too much on what kind of job you might want, what salary you would like or what skills you need right now, just focus on what you love and enjoy as a starting point.

What I Have Learned On My Personal Journey Since Becoming A Certified Coach

Since becoming certified as a Coach, I have learned so much. Through studying, researching, being coached and coaching others, my life has improved in so many ways.

Here is my personal list of things I have reflected on and written down on my journey so far:

Where Do You See Yourself In 10 Years? 🤔

During a lunch with my friends last year, one of them asked everyone at the table “Where do you see yourselves in 10 years?” I happily answered the question and gave her my detailed vision for where I see myself in 2031.

If she’d asked me the question a few years back, my answer would’ve been completely different. I would have given my classic answer “I still don’t know what I want to do when I grow up”. I had no idea what I wanted to do or what my options were. I felt helpless and thought that’s just the way it is…

How To Get More Balance In Your Life

That’s why it’s important that we check in with ourselves from time to time and review our lives to see if it’s well balanced. In this way, we give ourselves the chance to make any necessary changes and live our best lives.
