LIFE COACHING
LIFE COACHING with MARION
What is Coaching?
The International Federation of Coaches (ICF) defines coaching as ‘Partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximise their personal and professional potential’.
It is important to understand what Coaching is NOT. It is NOT:
Therapy
Counselling
Mentoring
Teaching and Training
For example, Talk-Therapy provides help with psychological and emotional and physiological issues by a professional Therapist or Practitioner. Counselling involves help with mental issues by a qualified counsellor. Both focus more on the past issues, whereas coaching focuses on the present and the future.
A mentor is usually a more experienced and older person advising and sharing their experiences with a younger and less experienced person. A coach does not share their experiences or offer advice.
A teacher is focused on teaching new skills and knowledge, whereas coaching involves developing and enhancing and maximising client’s existing skills, talents knowledge.
In general, coaching is non-directive and allows the client to discover their own solutions, devise and implement their own plan of action, assesses progress, and give feedback.
A Coach does not give advice and trusts that the clients are capable of generating their own solutions.
Life coaching –life coaching is a process that can involve coaching on areas of your life, such as health, relationships, career, performance, business coaching and Executive coaching.
Life coaching can be considered as a motivational and behavioural change approach that helps people to set and reach better goals, leading to enhanced well-being and personal functioning. It can be broadly defined as a: partnership, collaborative solution-focused, result-orientated, and systematic process, in which the coach facilitates the enhancement of life experience and goal attainment in the personal and/or professional life of normal, non-clinical clients.
Life coaches do not see their clients as people who need to be “fixed”, rather they focus on the future outcomes rather than past issues of the clients.
How Marion can help you
Marion is a Life coach trained and committed to guiding clients to realise their full potential, and in empowering themselves by:
- Facilitating awareness of their own skills and strengths.
- Enabling them to unlock their true potential to maximise their own performance.
- Allowing them to find solutions that works for them to attain their chosen life goals/outcomes with increased competence, commitment, and confidence.
As your Life Coach Marion works with you as your partner to promote what is right for you, create a safe, non-judgmental, and open space for you, where together we design and clarify your goals/outcomes focusing on the present and the future. Together we also explore your own skills, resources, and strengths, allow you to find solutions that works for you. Marion will ask many questions to dig deep into your own resources to come up with the best options that will enable you to attain the highest possible outcome for your chosen goals. She will also provide you with feedback to keep you on track. Clients can reach their highest possible outcomes given a certain input during each coaching session.
Life coaching can offer benefits in many different areas of your life. It allows you to discover your life purpose, who you truly are, who you want to be and your dreams. It may inspire you to change your unwanted behaviours and increase your self-belief and confidence.
Depending on the area/s of your life you want to work on, life Coaching is a process and can be long-term or shorter term. The Life coaching process I offer is for future orientated goals and outcomes and does not involve any therapy, counselling, or mentoring.
If you do have emotional/clinical issues you may want to first check out Therapy, workshops and retreats I offer.
The coaching sessions are mainly conducted on line via Skype or in person face to face by prior arrangement.
