The right question is the key to achieving your goals and reaching a new level of success
While many people spend countless hours searching for answers to their challenges, what truly makes the difference is posing the right questions. Coaching is based on this premise – that looking at a situation from a new perspective, asking the right questions and seeing something from a new point of view uncovers the best solutions. This is the basis of Coaching and the support that will guide you toward achieving your goals.
Both Life and Career Coaching are about change. At some point, we all find ourselves searching for something better; wondering how we arrived where we are and how we can possibly move forward. As your search for a solution turns into a fruitless effort over time, you find yourself no further ahead than when you first began. The difference begins with Coaching. A Coach brings a situation into a new light, allowing you to view things from a new perspective. A Coach will help you answer the important questions, giving you a fresh understanding of your challenges, and leading you to the change you need.
I remember the day as though it were yesterday: after months of frustration, anguish and many sleepless nights, I woke to the realization that I was no longer willing to settle, no longer willing to spend countless hours and years in a career that afforded me little satisfaction, constant battles and a permanent feeling of distress. I knew I was spinning my wheels, always looking for a solution, but never considering whether or not I was asking just the right questions. Until I found my Coach.
Working with my Coach, I discovered that the changes I needed to make were under my control. I knew, within myself, what needed to be done, the goals to be established and the options that were available. Together with my Coach I was able to see so much more – to discover how my career interacted with my entire life and the impact that my unhappiness was having on those things that are most important to me. We worked progressively each week, meeting each challenge head on and rapidly moving closer to the ultimate goal. I now write to you, expressing my happiness and describing the success I was able to meet as I moved into my new career. Without my Coach, I would still be searching for an answer that was unreachable without first asking the right questions.
Coaching is the missing piece to the puzzle. It is the added support and fresh face that can help you achieve your goals and bring unparalleled happiness and success to your world. Life is so very special and everyone deserves to live it to its fullest and find true, self satisfying contentment. Coaching is the process that will take you there and never allow you to look back.
