“Life Change Coaching—Get Radical!”
What is Life Change Coaching, and how does it differ from coaching generally?
Frankly, the techniques we might use together, such as going through a series
of questions to get to your vision, and then identifying actions you can take,
can be applied to any level of change desired. For example, if you want to
find a little more time, or joy, or pleasure in your day, coaching can help
tweak the situation, and buff it up to a bright shine. But, if you want to
radically change, and to look back on really significant achievements, Life
Change Coaching is the next step.
In Life Change Coaching, we will ask you to:
Set big goals that really reflect where you want to go.
For example, Marion wants to start a franchise chain of delicatessens operating
throughout North America. She loves business, taking risks, and playing a big
game.
Identify serious steps that you can take to get there, and then take them.
Her first step is to commit to Life Change Coaching, and to perfect operations
at her existing deli, so that every procedure is logical and duplicateable.
Break down the steps, as necessary.
What do market research, business consultants, and other resources tell her
about her deli now, and a successful franchising operation? What does she have
to do to get ready to open the second store?
Put things on a timeline that you’re comfortable with.
Marion wants to avoid stress, and keep a balanced life, but she still finds
time each day to really move her project forward. It’s her vision
of the outcome, and the life it would bring, that helps her find the time.
Stay flexible, but keep moving.
Discuss developments with your coach as they come up, and adjust. Marion
knows that opening the second deli, with all its issues, is the hardest step.
After
that, she’s repeating success!
Life Change Coaching is for those of us who want to reach our envelope and
push on it in a reasonable time, enjoying the process along the way. Remember,
Life Change Coaching may be radical, but it’s your vision, your effort,
and your reward!
