One purpose of a life coach is to clear up the muddied areas to gain the clarity of your life’s intention and direction. A coach is able to objectively look at the big picture and help you view yourself wholly and with clarity so you can have a defined direction for your life’s purpose and course. How do you objectively analyze a painting when you are in it? Allegorically you are a painter creating your life. If you never step back to observe your painting there are bound to be blank spots and muddled places on your canvas. Sometimes even if you do step back and look at your painting, it is so personal to you that is hard to be unbiased. If you truly want to live a masterpiece than you must take the time to realign to stay on target or turn around to get on course. A coach will help you gain clarity of vision and direction so that you can live your masterpiece.

Although getting a clear and objective picture of yourself and discovering your passions have incredible value, a coach’s role does not stop there. A coach also holds you accountable to make the positive changes necessary in your life. It’s not too difficult to set some goals for yourself, the fulfillment and meaning however come in attaining them. Have you ever set a New Year’s Resolution? Perhaps it was to stop smoking or to go to the gym. Did you do it? Chances are that if you did you had someone to be accountable to during your mission. Yes it can be done on mere willpower but statistics show that over 80% of the time without life threatening consequences, a partner or a coach it will not happen.

“Life is, by nature, highly interdependent. Trying to achieve maximum effectiveness through independence is like trying to play tennis with a golf club—the tool is not suited to the reality.”—Stephen Covey

Coaching is a strategic alliance wherein you receive guidance and accountability within a trusting and supportive relationship to achieve your maximum potential. Your coach will work with you based on what it is you desire to achieve. It is not taking instructions but a mutually respectful relationship in which you play an active role in your success.

Your coach is there to be a true mirror to give you objective guidance, consistent support and accountability.

“A mentor is someone who sees more talent and ability within you, than you see in yourself, and helps bring it out of you.”—Bob Proctor, Author

“Executive coaches are not for the meek. They’re for people who value unambiguous feedback. All coaches have one thing in common, it’s that they are ruthlessly results-oriented.”—FAST COMPANY Magazine

Although the concept of having a coach is not new, hiring a coach to excel in business seems to have caught on only more recently. For the past 20 years corporate America has raised its focus on employee potential using training as a means to achieve this. Training has its place to elevate understanding and introduce new concepts but once the elementary has been achieved individual focus is needed to go beyond the basics and advance to the next level. Logan and King in The Coaching Revolution have this to say about business coaching,

“To survive intensifying competition, companies—and their employees—need much more than traditional training. People need the individualized attention from experts that will enable them to build better career, happier lives, and stronger relationships.

“Business leaders are finally realizing what sports experts have known for thousands of years: individualized attention from an expert is the only way to unlock a person’s full ability.”

Unlike training, coaching creates a partnership that draws out your vision, abilities and power. There is a remarkable power of achievement in you. It only needs to be awakened or tapped into to see your true potential come to fulfillment.

“I never cease to be amazed at the power of the coaching process to draw out the skills or talent that was previously hidden within an individual, and which invariably finds a way to solve a problem previously thought unsolvable.”—John Russell, Managing Director, Harley-Davidson

In order to excel in our lives we must create harmony between our work, personal life and our deeply embedded values. Without this balance it is impossible to be completely focused and work as efficiently as possible. When our daily actions are incongruent with our deeply rooted desires and values than it causes inner conflict resulting in outward inefficiencies and lack of persuasiveness. For this reason a coach is there to help you become more successful in all areas of your life.
