Life Coaching Steven Renwick BSC (Hons) Psychology It's time to change your life! Look out at your life as it is today and as it will be in the weeks, months, years and decades to come. How do you feel? Life is a breath-taking opportunity, and coaching can help you grasp it fully. Life Coaching What is it? Those are the questions I answer for you. 1.How will I know if coaching is for me? Steven will provide a 20 minute (Or 1 hour depending upon type of membership) life coaching session via telephone. We'll actually use the coaching process to identify an area you may want to work on, and to look at the steps we would take should we decide to work together. You'll get a chance to sound out Stephen and to think about the process. There is no obligation to have any more sessions, the decision is entirely yours. 2. Why can't I just read a good Coaching Book? You can, and you should! But a book can never do what a coach can do. A coach is there when the untidy business of theory meeting practice happens. A coach will get to know you and understand why you fail and how you can succeed. They will develop a relationship with you from whom you can draw confidence, energy, and motivation. The regular appointments will motivate you to "do your homework" - this is where the real life-changing happens. It doesn't happen between the pages of a book - you have to go out into the world and tinker with it! 3. Why can't I get the same support from friends? Good question! Here are some answers for you: a) Your coach is professionally trained to coach you. He has specific skills in listening, questioning techniques, motivation, communication and more. All of these will be focused on freeing you to become what you want to be. Your friends are unlikely to be qualified in these ways. b) Stephen is a qualified NLP Practitioner and is qualified in psychology and sports psychology, he is finishing his psychology degree. d) Friends may be reluctant to tell you straight, because they fear that the truth will lose their relationship with you. They're more likely to tell you what you want to hear. Your Life Coach will want to maintain a first class relationship with you too, but they are paid to help you, and will tell it like it is when they need to. e) Some of those around you may be part of the reason you want to change. We all fear change - in ourselves - but also in others. How often do you notice friends offering you fatty foods when you're on a diet? Without even realising it, those around us can undermine our determination to make positive changes in our lives. f) Our friends often come from the same background and areas as us. They may have accepted their lot in life, and may see change as impossible. They may even see ambitions as arrogant and unreasonable. Their negativity and scepticism about your potential for personal growth - or the way the world is - may be a big problem which your coach can help you with. g) There may be some things you can't say to friends, because they're very private - or because your friends are part of what you want to change. Your Life Coach is professional and detached, and your work with him is confidential. You can be completely honest. 4. How does Life Coaching differ from Counseling or Therapy? Life Coaching is not about deep self-analysis or regressing to childhood events. It is forward-looking - focused in the present and the future. It is practical and down-to-earth, looking at concrete ways to make real progress in the world in the areas listed above. 5. Are there any problems which Life Coaching is not appropriate for? Yes. Life Coaching is not appropriate for the following: serious medical conditions, drug addiction, or mental illness. Your coach will not necessarily be an expert in finance, business management, law, or relationship counseling. A coach can help you in these areas. Not by giving professional advice in them, but by helping you to find the professional help you need. 6. How Much Does it Cost? See types of membership section. 7. I have another question not answered here! Just contact Stephen for an informal chat. No obligations. No charge. 8. Which areas do you serve? Most of my coaching is done by phone, and so my catchment area is planet Earth. If phone costs are an issue, we can use Internet Phones - I have a raft of alternatives available. If you prefer personal coaching face-to-face then meeting may be possible. If you want me to travel to you, then you will need to live within 50 miles, and there will be additional charges for the time and travel costs. Contact me for a price for your location. Alternatively, you may prefer to travel to me; I coach in quiet public areas of a lovely local hotel - and I'll buy the tea. There is a £10 surcharge for one-on-one coaching to cover the additional disruption to my business day. 9. How many sessions will I need? Clearly I can't guarantee how long it will take in your particular case, but from extensive experience, the average is between 4 and 8 sessions. By that time, we have usually explored the problem space, defined clear, believable, exciting new goals, designed robust strategies to reach those goals, and started out down the path. We will have explored the "brain space" of the client too - finding their fears, hidden beliefs and the other things which trap people into small sad lives for poor reasons. After that, they can push forwards on their own. Some folks stay with me during this period, but drop the frequency - this way they maintain focus and energy and access to problem-solving - but at a lower cost.
