What is Coaching?

8/2/2011

What if your life got more joyful, satisfying and easier?  What if you could make your life be exactly as you want it to be - content and satisfied and hungry for more? While a lot has been said (and even joked about) the idea of "life coaching," it may be the key to unlocking your now and removing the roadblocks that keep you from your highest potential.

Great business leaders use coaches to develop their employees. Coaches help by clarifying thinking, giving feedback, providing support and maintaining a healthy level of challenge. I have worked with attorneys, teachers, executives, farmers, small-business owners, spiritual leaders, and even civil-servants to define their own goals and help them come to their path. 
       
Overall, coaching is about facilitating positive change. It is also about getting where you want to go easier and faster while reducing complications and roadblocks.

Now, more than ever, people are seeing the value of having a coach.  Just as sports coaches give feedback and keep their teams on track, life coaches help all of us do and be our best.  A coach is someone who is totally in your corner, focused totally on you.  You have regular appointments to work on your goals and dreams so that time doesn’t fall through the cracks.

Think for a moment on the idea of the hero and the hero’s journey.  It is the tale of a person leaving a familiar world, usually encountering a guide/teacher, experiencing an adventure/quest, meeting obstacles, learning and developing something new within themselves and then returning home to utilize that knowledge in helping the community in some way. 


Hero stories resonate with us so much because we all are on our own hero journey.  We live for a purpose and we work to reach our goals.  In that process we are changed.  In a very real sense, coaching is a natural progression of this hero journey and coaches are the guides that people are utilizing to facilitate their own progress of personal development.

Your Life Is Your Job
You are on a hero’s journey.  Remember, no one can do what you were put here to do. You are worth every penny and every bit of energy you expend on you.  Tiger Woods, LeBron James and Michael Jordan all had coaches.  Isn’t your life really your main job?  Show up for all the important roles and relationships in your life while being your best and giving your best with the help and clarity of coaching.

        My name is Yamaya.  I am a native Floridian and aspiring cosmopolitan world traveler. I love writing, coaching and helping people become fully present and actualized.  I do this through coaching, writing this blog, essays/poetry, training and as a classroom teacher.  Life has been good to me. Getting into the rich, delicious, nitty-gritty of life is quite close to my heart. 
        I have two lovely daughters, Rhiannon and Ellison.  Motherhood has helped me define myself while at times allowing me to question the heck out of who I am - and who I want to be.  Thank you universe for my husband and those girls.  I'm thinking of having a baby boy now - we'll have to see what happens.
        I would love to hear your comments and feel some of your love on my blog and my website.  Thanks for being here.
