New To Life Coaching?
ARE YOU AN ADVENTUROUS WOMAN STUCK IN A MIDLIFE TRANSITION KNOWING THERE HAS TO BE MORE?You can become your own Midlife Fairy Godmother and awaken your authentic self, so you can arrive at 60, feeling like you're 20, with the wisdom of 80, while leaving the legacy of "midlife empowerment" for future generationsWhat Is Life Coaching?Life coaches coach people in acquiring the life skills they need in order to create what they want in their lives. They work primarily on the telephone offering one on one coaching and group coaching combined with emails of homework and other information. Most of them have been through a coach training program that focuses on communication and relating skills and helping people get from where they are to where they want to be. I received my life coach training from the Institute of Integrative Coaching sm and Coachville's Graduate School of Coaching. People are used to the idea of having a personal trainer/coach for getting back in shape physically. They are now understanding the value of having a coach to help them get back into shape mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. Life coaches generally work with people who are going through transitions or want to make changes in their lives, whether in their career, finances, relationships, spirituality, midlife or in just about any other area. A basic premise of coaching is that all areas of life are interrelated and therefore the approach should be holistic. This is the wave of the future for a time-stressed and wired society, but also for a global community and economy. People don't need to drive anywhere, dress up, or get a baby sitter and the quality they receive doesn't suffer. On the contrary, the coaching and group experiences are often even more powerful than in person because people tend to feel very safe at home and less self -conscious. Breakthroughs and other delightful surprises occur often! Are all life coaches the same? No. There are some that call themselves life coaches and they offer general life skills, assessments, and coach everyone. However, most coaches have specialties from small business development to single parenting and everything in between. Most life coaches work from home or office. I am a midlife empowerment coach/consultant. My joy is providing safe, nurturing environments for women (35 - 60) who are experiencing the loss of their identity and familiar way of life, to become their own Midlife Fairy Godmothers and discover the secrets to their own vitality and wholeness, so that they can reach 60, feeling like their 20, with the wisdom of 80, and leave a new legacy of midlife for future generations. What goes on in a coaching session? Every life coach has a different style, skills, and tools that they use. The length of sessions varies from 30 to 60 minutes, two to four times per month. The price also varies greatly from somewhere around $200 and up. Most life coaches have people pay for each month at the beginning of the month. I use tools that range from writing exercises, guided visualizations, assessments, and coaching questions to help midlife women identify what is most meaningful to them in life, what makes them come alive, their talents, strengths, and gifts. These are the expressions of their authentic self. Then I create a plan together with you to begin to orient your life around your discoveries. I also help you change counterproductive beliefs and habits and create life enhancing ones that support the kind of life you want. Most women find that support, strategies, and another perspective is invaluable in this day and age when so much information is bombarding people on a daily basis and so many choices need to be made. Women also find a lot of value in assistance with self-sabotaging behaviors, perfectionism, procrastination, and deep seated fears while integrating their new discoveries and desires into their life. How do people get started with coaching? The coach and client usually have a complimentary session, which lasts up to 30 minutes. This is where they discuss what the client's needs are and find out if they are a good match for each other. Some coaches have questions they ask their clients to fill out through an email before the session. Some offer assessments. I offer two options for a complimentary session: 1) I offer a free 30 minute telephone consultation and wheel of life assessment. I call you and, together, we look at how upgrading certain areas of your life will enrich your life tremendously. 2) I also offer a free 30 minute consultation after you take the strengths profile assessment (with the purchase of Now, Discover Your Strengths by Marcus Buckingham & Donald Clifton, Ph. D) to discover your unique strengths. Most women (especially those who have done a lot of personal development work) have been so focused on eradicating their weaknesses that it is a refreshing change to know that focusing on and enhancing their strengths can give them much more success than continuing to eradicate weaknesses. After you take the assessment, I call you and show you how your perceived weaknesses are really strengths that haven't been upgraded yet. ************************** Midlife Fairy Godmother Enterprises (™) Midlife Magick ™ For Second Half Bliss *** MIDLIFE FAIRY GODMOTHERS ADVENTURERS CLUB -
