THE FIRST STEP TO COACHING

     The first step to hiring a Life Coach is to talk to the coach. I ask anyone considering hiring a Life Coach to contact me to see if I think i can help you. If you are just curious to see if you will benifit from a life coach, give me a call at 1-800-841-8776.

     The next step is to take a minute and look at yourself, are you ready for a change that will change everything. That's right, some people talk about change, but are not ready to change. Some people are comfortable with the "same old, same old".

     You must be prepared to disclose everything. That is right, are you ready to open up your inner feelings, dreams and goals? Life Coaches can not help you unless you are true to yourself. You must be agreeable to disclosure yourself fully and completely. No secrets.

     If you don't think you can do this, you really do not want to improve your life. I tell all of my clients before we start the program that it only works if you are honest with yourself.

     In order to help you change, you will be given several assigments to complete before the next coaching session. You must be willing to do the assigments, even if you do not see the benifit at that very moment. This includes daily journaling. I will have you writing more and more.

     You will be expected to give a lot of feedback. The only way Life Coaching works is when you let the coach know how you feel, how you think, how you dream. This is the basis to help you design a Life Plan.  

     And the most important requirement, you must be ready to put the coaching relationship at the top of your priorities. You need to be ready to make a big deal out of your coaching sessions. This is not something that you pay for and sit back and expect to feel better or dream better. It just does not work like that.
