Find Solid Ground Coaching

Last week we went into the mountains, and I realized (again) how valuable it is to get away and get a different perspective on your life. I always come away with fresh ideas, new possibilities and renewed motivation. It struck me that Life Coaching is like that too. You get to work with someone who guides you to see your life from a different viewpoint, someone who can help you see possibilities that you may not have let yourself see and someone who will motivate you to pursue your desires. I’ve seen it happen with my clients over and over! If this sounds good, get ahold of me and we can change things up for you!

After active listening and curiosity, my third principle of life coaching is intuition. Intuition is our gut feeling. We all have intuition because in prehistoric days, and even today, we used this intuition to stay safe. When we got a feeling that an animal was lurking in the forest and going to harm us, we got out of the way. Today it’s not so straight forward, but we do all have intuition. The trick is to notice how you feel, trust how you feel and then act on how you feel. Think about how you tune into your feelings. Is it through conversation, journaling, sitting with yourself in a quiet setting or maybe in the shower! What you are doing is creating space for our feelings.

After listening (see my last post), curiosity is the next important principle in life coaching. It's very easy to form judgements, jump to conclusions, and try to solve a problem when we are (not really) listening to others. It’s our human nature to try to “fix” things but trying to "fix" someone is a showstopper and more likely than not will shut down the conversation. A different approach is to be truly curious, in a nonjudgmental way, about someone's story. It always amazes me how people seem to sort things out on their own when they are genuinely listened to!

Apparently, the video I created from my webinar was "private". Now it is "public", and you can watch it! Principles-listening, curiosity, intuition...Process - what, why, how. That's all you need to know.

If you didn't get to make it to the webinar, here is a link to the recording that should work. https://vimeo.com/711869442

Tell me if it doesn't!!
