What is Life Coaching?
Life Coaching is a typ of personality coaching which accompanies you in your life. It’s a holistic approach as you will handle ALL areas of your life and their interaction. Therefore, life coaching is more comprehensive and more intense than other forms of personality coaching (at least, that’s how it should be).
A life coach supports you like a friend who goes through thick and thin with you. It’s quite possible that you undertake activities of which both of you benefit: you are in good company and your life coach gets to know you even better and can ultimately better support you. Ideally, you can also contact your life coach all the time which is especially beneficial in critical situations.
Hence, you work together very closely with a life coach. That’s why it’s important that you feel comfortable with her/him from the very beginning.
My biggest tip for your life coach search: pay close attention to the personality of a personality coach and how you feel about it. Take your time to study a potential life coach - her/his website, social media presence and extensive consultations will help you find the right one.
How does a good Life Coach work?
There are two issues in the life of most people:
- they are under- / overwhelmed with the amount of areas of their life
- the kind of life areas doesn’t suit them.
A good life coach guides you through your current areas of your life. Starting with the one that’s haunting you the most, of course. In the progress, you work out even more passions and potentials - and therefore challenges.
As a matter of fact, a life coach needs an extensive repertoire of interests and skills in order to combine different topics. A life coach is an artist of life and a professional psycho who is familiar with ALL psychological areas (including psychotherapies, at best).
As a good personality coach, a life coach also uses her/his own personality (which ultimately attracted you), works more freely with time and space and also more creatively than a psychotherapist.
This way, a casual, friendly atmosphere will develop besides objective professionalism between both of you (at least, that’s how it should be).
Despite all the closeness and different to your friends, a good life coach has enough emotional and factual distance to you and is therefore more capable to evaluate and treat your problems (I presume an adequate expertise for now).
Goals of Life Coaching
The goal of life coaching is that you develop life areas which beautifully suit you and which you are consequently better able to manage. Thus, life coaching is the most comprehensive form of personality coaching and resembles the profound psychotherapy procedures (depth oriented and psychoanalytical psychotherapy) but is a lot more playful.
Therefore, life coaching is also amazing for preparing yourself for a psychotherapy. Be it overcoming waiting periods, working out potential problems which can be better treated with psychotherapies or accompanying a psychotherapy (which is included in my life coaching of more than six months).
Of course, it also contains developing your potentials. While this applies to all forms of personality coaching (see here) as well as psychotherapies, you have the most and most creative opportunities to achieve this, simply because you deal with so many different areas and work together with your supporter much more varied.
With the support of a really good life coach, you will learn to connect your heart (emotions) with your head (thoughts) in order to create a strong gut instinct (intuition) with which you are able to transform challenges into chances and finally dance through life or up mountains (again).
What makes me special?
As you can see on my start and personal webpage, I do have countless interests and skills. I love life and the colorful diversity on this planet which I foster and demand. But besides all playfulness, I also work extremely profound and am still a professional psycho.
I am YOUR life coach if you:
- enjoy intellectually challenging work while at the same time
- (learn) working as freely as possible like you want, can or need
- want to live an intense, fulfilled life WITHOUT any sacrifice
- are tired of mediocracy and instead want to aim REALLY high
- already made (unsatisfying) experience with external psychic help
- are willing to REALLY change something in your life and are willing to invest accordingly.
