While many people may be hesitant to go to a life coach because of a misconception that it is the same as getting therapy, which has a negative stigma in many societies, a life coach guides you to achieving your goals.
Using a life coach can be very effective. The International Coaching Federation has conducted a study which found that 99% of the people that were interviewed, reported that they had a rewarding experience by working with a life coach, and 96% said they would do it again. Another 65% said that their performance at work improved and 80% said that their self-confidence had improved.
So how can working with a life coach help you?
Many people report that coaching had a positive impact on their career as well as their lives. They saw improvement in:
- establishing their goal and taking action
- becoming more self-reliant
- they saw their job satisfaction grow
- they took on more responsibility for their actions
- the worked easily with others.
You can figure out what you want to do with your life by yourself, but working with a life coach gives you the support that can aid you to get where you want to go without wasting time and money.
Here are some signs that you should consider working with a life coach.
You feel lost – if you are feeling lost and confused, a life coach can help you to find your way to your new life.
You are doubting yourself – a life coach can help you find clarity in this confusing world. You may know deep inside of you what you want but you are confused in how to make those goals happen. A life coach can help you to realize your goals.
