Sometimes we have dark days, weeks, months, even years in our lives. While something like therapy or counseling is sometimes a great help, depending on what is going on, life or relationship coaching can also be an asset to someone who senses things are changing in ways they perceive are not conducive to their well being.
We can't change other people; we can't change every circumstance of life, but what we can change is how we interrelate with those around us, our words, actions, and attitudes. We can chose the higher road in the midst of the storm; the positive in the negative field around us. And having a coach can help in that process.
Coaching is about getting from where we are in life to where we need or want to be, to the extent that we do the work. Like a stagecoach of old that carried passengers from one place to another, a coach helps their client find who they really are, what they really want and need, and do so without judgment. While there are similarities to counseling, cheerleading, mentoring, and a lot of other means of communication, coaching utilizes a special set of skills to help create the best possible atmosphere for client learning, growth, and gain of potential. Coaching can help us become more authentically who we are and help us realize things about ourselves we otherwise might not.
So whether life these days is bright or dark, coaching can be beneficial to an overall better life. As a Christian coach, there is no fear of the dark because Christ is the Light that can be brought to any situation, any relationship, any decision.
