Do you need a life coach?

Do you really need a coach?

By Joseph Scott of The Coaching Room

The 'why work with a coach?' question is most often (in my view) driven by the frame of reference of 'what can a coach do that I can’t do by myself?'.

Well, my view is this, if you can be and do the following 7 things with and by yourself, you don't need a coach.

However, if you cannot do all of the following, and you want to ‘be or do’ things differently, be better, move to a higher place or move faster etc. Then I suggest you get yourself a coach. Take a look!

The 7 things a coach can facilitate that you my not currently be able to do, be or see. Can you:

1. Hear and detect your own limiting beliefs? These are the beliefs that hold you back from achieving your potential. Can you hear and understand the distortions in your own self talk that leash you to your current reality?

2. See and understand your own (self-reflexive) consciousness as you create (positive and) toxic frames of mind from which you deal with reality? Can you master them so that you can self-author your own life story, over the one you’ve inherited from others?

3. Apply actual change to your life that is systemic and lasting?

4. Hold yourself fully accountable to empirical benchmarks of performance and development?

5. Engage yourself in actualising your own development, across recognised psychological aspects of self, to live and operate at better states and stages of being?

6. Perform your meanings and mean your performances, as you realise and release your innate propulsion (motivation) system toward achieving your fullest potentials?

7. Ask yourself a range of simple questions that allow you to live beyond scarcity & deficiency, into a place of giving and abundance?

If you can say yes to the above, YOU DON’T NEED A COACH.

If you cannot say yes to all the above, and self development, transformation and performance both personally and professionally are important to you and you intend this… Then my advice is to GET A COACH!.

If you already have a coach and with your coach, you are not experiencing the above, GET A DIFFERENT COACH.

The Go-Giver - A powerful little book about achieving your goals through giving

Hey, Jay here,

I happened on a most powerful little book called The Go-Giver. The Go-Giver tells the story of an ambitious young man named Joe who yearns for success. Joe is a true go-getter, though sometimes it seems the harder and faster he works, the further away his goals seem to be. Joe seeks advice from a guy named Pindar, a legendary consultant referred to as the Chairman. Over the next week Pindar introduces Joe to a series of Go-Givers (the 5 laws of stratespheric success through giving to others). Joe learns that by changing his focus from getting to giving - putting others interests first and continually adding value to their lives - leads to unexpected returns.

This is a delightfully easy book to read and the message it offers is remarkable.

You can get the book here if it appeals.

Life Coaching | The importance of Beliefs and Values in personal change

Hey Jay here,

I received the following email from a guy called Chris Howard - about change. Even though we cover all of this in our Life Coaching programs, I thought it was a really good overview of how our beliefs and values affect our outcomes. I hope that you enjoy it as much as I did.

We've all been told that, "what you don't know can't hurt you."
Actually, just the opposite is true! What you don’t know not only can hurt you,
it can damage your relationships, your health...and your success potential.

Limiting beliefs and negative emotions that lie latent in the unconscious mind,
not dealt with from the past, can serve as powerful internal obstacles to your
most desired goals.

Negative emotions are often where "bad habits" originate, habitual
behaviours that stop you in your tracks. Anxiety or overwhelm, for example, can
lead to procrastinating on a project, which can ultimately make the difference
between getting a promotion or losing a job.

If these out-dated thought patterns never have the chance to see the light of
day, they just leave you wondering, Why did I avoid that person who could've
helped me? Why didn't I pursue that opportunity? Why didn't I do what I said I
was going to do?

Why let your past determine your future? Living with old programming is like
operating with old "software" that can't manage your new, bigger
dreams and desires. You will continue to crash or make painfully slow progress
until you install a new, updated system.

How can you tell if you are self-sabotaging?

The #1 indicator is repeating unwanted patterns, such as unfulfilled goals, frustrating partnerships and
failed ventures.

Do you set out on weight-loss programs then yo-yo back to your old weight as
soon as you see yourself making progress? Does it seem you have your own glass
ceiling in terms of your income never going past a certain point? Do you make
positive changes in your habits only to find yourself predictably slipping back
to old ways?

Frustration and confusion can be hard habits to break...UNTIL you're ready for
a breakthrough! Real change can happen in an instant. The instant you are
willing to:

1. Discover the root cause of your current circumstance or condition; and

2. Replace those old limited decisions with greater possibilities for your life

THAT is the moment you can really soar! What would it actually feel like to be
free?

What will it cost you if you don't take action now?

Change only happens when you make a commitment to follow through and step up.

Consider what will happen to your life if you don't follow through with your
commitment.

Where will you be in 3 months time? Six months? One year?...

What will it cost you in unfulfilled dreams, or your health, physical vitality,
relationships or your financial life?

What do you want your life to be like physically, emotionally, financially and
spiritually in 3 months, six months, one year and 3 years from now?

Will you be working in a job or business you are passionate about and
surrounded my loving friends and family, enjoying vital health, financial
independence and loving your life?

Become your own great success story and remember... if something is humanly
possible it's possible for you.

The Coaching Room specialises in life coaching for people in Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane and the Gold Coast.
