Coaches are people who at their core care about other people. Many people choose coaching as a profession because they are the go to person for family and friends. They are confidants, listeners, mentors and best friends. They follow their hearts and are passionate about people’s success, achievements and accomplishments in every area of their lives.
For many, coaching is a way to broaden a preexisting competence or experience helping people. Many coaches have advanced degrees or have worked in a specific industry for years. Some have held positions in a few different industries and found that they have a passion for helping people. For example, you will find nutritionists or personal trainers becoming wellness and health coaches, psychologists may convert to life coaching, finance professionals will become financial coaches, professionals of various sorts and entrepreneurs become career coaches.
Others may take an impactful life experience and create a niche that relates directly to what someone may be dealing with. For example, a single mother who grew up in foster care may coach single mothers who also grew up in foster care through common obstacles. There are many reasons and examples to describe who becomes a coach and why.
With that basic understanding of who a coach may be and what a coach does, let’s focus on Life Coaching. Life coaches focus primarily on who individuals are and how their perceptions and opinions of themselves affect their ability to lead and enjoy the life they want and dream about. We understand that people share a common need to be loved, to belong, be connected to others and feel significant or important to those around them. How do we know this? Because coaches are people too. Sometimes coaches can relate to various life circumstances, situations and challenges brought to our attention. Either we have had a similar experience or observation in our lives. Nevertheless, a coach relies on their training and coaching experience to provide what a client needs. Even if a coach can’t relate to your situation, they can relate to you, the person. Life coaches assist clients confront their resignation for areas of their life where they feel powerless, insignificant or unworthy. As clients work through the array of reasons they seek a coach’s help, they experience a great deal of personal development and growth. There is much satisfaction when a coach can help clients experience freedom, peace of mind, love and connection, in areas of life where they have struggled.
All of us can use someone to challenge our status quo, listen deeply, provoke critical thinking and evoke insights that literally change the trajectory of our very existence. A life coach can see what you can’t see (blindspots) adding actionable insight, objective perspective and unwavering support. We instigate, and motivate. We are compassionate, empathetic, and loving. We believe relationships are fundamental to your quality of life, especially the relationship you have to yourself. P-Solutions Coaching is dedicated to the optimizing individual potential through personal development and growth. We aim to produce results that elevate the experience of life in the form of gratitude, satisfaction and fulfillment.
