As a life coach, it is important to know when it is the best time for your clients to move on and continue working on their own. It is the role of  a life  coach to  have the communication skills to end the relationship. A good coach is responsible enough to know that the life of a coaching relationship is not a lifetime. Knowing that is how the best life coaches build their business. Not by keeping clients forever, but by letting them go when the time is right and generating more referrals based on their outstanding service.

In the beginning, clients are unsure. They may be testing the relationship and feeling the waters to determine if life coaching is really for them. Or if you really are the right coach for them. Soon, if it’s right, they will start to become a little more trusting and may feel it may benefit them to continue. As things start to come together for your client and some of the small goals seem to be falling into place, the client will begin to expect the life coaching to work and for things to continue to progress in the right direction. When the client has mastered all the skills you have to offer and is doing well towards their goals, you will see that it is time for them to continue on their own.

And it goes both ways. If you have a coach and feel it is time to move on – either to another coach or onto your life by yourself – test your communication skills and have the courage and courtesy to yourself and your coach to give at least a month’s notice. Some coach’s will talk to you about this in the beginning or along the way but they may not and it’s good for you to know. Since you have built up such an intimate connection, be fair to the coaching relationship and build in a few sessions for closure.

There are many reasons that having a life coach is a beneficial thing. It brings an objective voice to your life that has (hopefully – see NOAGNDA ) no other agenda to follow other than to help you find and achieve what you want in your life.

Friends and family can be great support but they don’t always agree with what you actually want and may feel that they know what would be best for you and make you happy. A coach (again, hopefully) will never do this.

1. A life coach can help you pull your life out of a rut that you may be stuck in. You may find yourself bored and not enjoying your life or your work anymore. A life coach can help you figure out why and how to fix it.
2. Another way a life coach can help you is by helping to organize your goals so that you can actually get what you want and not just dream about it. Many people seem to have lost their vision in life and feel like they have no purpose.
3. Life coaching can help pull your purpose back out of you and get you back on track.
4. Many people turn to a life coach during big transitions in their life such as retirement, job change or divorce. Coaches often have or create in the moment tools to help you keep your coaching-acquired skills as you leave your coaching experience and continue on with your life.
5. People looking for more passion or value in their life may turn to a coach to help explore why these things are missing in your life.
6. Another reason someone may turn to a life coach is if they have been engaging in destructive behaviors , a coach may be able to help them figure out why and make some changes.

Whatever your reasons might be. Try it. See how it can work for you.

Life coaching services provide many benefits to individuals by promoting self-confidence, helping with career guidance, strengthening relationships and other important aspects of personal life.

Choosing a life coaching service maybe one of the biggest and most important decisions you’ll every make. Not only do you need to consider the price, but also their level of expertise and the approach they will take. More than likely, you will need a coach that is attentive to both your career and elements in your self confidence as well.

The fees for life coaching range widely but mainly depend on your location, the number of sessions and the methods they apply. This typically provides a half hour of one-on-one coaching per week. I, for example, generally do forty minutes to one hour sessions and my fees are monthly with discounts for a verbal commitment to stick it through until we both agree your goals have been met. (I don’t recommend a coach posting their fees because sometimes a person might decide the cost is too much because their sub-conscious is really afraid of the potential changes in their lives and the fee will give them the needed out.)

Fees for business executive coaches and personal career coaches tend to be much higher. One reason for this is because these areas usually require more time, easily leading to one to two hours while important business matters are discussed. Some packages may cost anywhere from $100 to $150 per hour while executive life coaching may range from $1,000 to $10,000 per month depending on the professional’s level of experience and the career field.

Life coaching can be a very effective tool that helps you leap those hurdles and get on the path to success. This isn’t a question of whether or not its worth it, yet what your career and personal well-being is worth to you.

Each time you tell a person how you feel and they don’t reject your for it, trust builds. Not only that – you will have a relationship based on who you authentically are. No mask to come off later and disappoint the other person because they thought you were someone else – the one with the mask.

Anyone who is attracted to reading something called  How a coach can help you to build a sense of trust most likely has some trust issues. Those issues impact us in many ways. Following are some examples:

Personal relationships – “What if I’m myself and you leave me?” That is often the basic reason people get into poor relationships in the first place. They ignore their own inner knowledge of themselves by acting how they think the other wants them to act.

Work relationships – “Can I really allow myself to trust anyone who I don’t know well or in a job situation?”  They don’t trust people to be supportive and authentic.

Making decisions – “I’m really not sure what to do.” They have a hard time because they don’t trust themselves.

How can a life coach help you with these difficult situations?

When you talk to someone weekly who always supports your agenda, tells you the way they see things in your life quite openly and who has an attitude that your answers are in you, you begin to trust that person.

When that life coach also keeps pointing out the ways your attitudes and emotional responses are right, you begin to trust that person more. And you begin to trust yourself more.

As you experience success after success in support of yourself, you eventually become a trusting person because you know you have the information inside you that will steer you where you want to go in your life. You will know if a person is trustworthy in your personal and work relationships and you will trust yourself to make decisions.

That is one of the things an experience of life coaching can provide you.

My family knows what my life is about. They know that I am a big proponent of authentic expression of feelings in pursuit of mental, spiritual and emotional health. With that in mind, my daughter sent me to this site: We Feel Fine . Their mission is as follows:

Mission

We Feel Fine is an exploration of human emotion on a global scale.

Since August 2005, We Feel Fine has been harvesting human feelings from a large number of weblogs. Every few minutes, the system searches the world’s newly posted blog entries for occurrences of the phrases “I feel” and “I am feeling”. When it finds such a phrase, it records the full sentence, up to the period, and identifies the “feeling” expressed in that sentence (e.g. sad, happy, depressed, etc.). Because blogs are structured in largely standard ways, the age, gender, and geographical location of the author can often be extracted and saved along with the sentence, as can the local weather conditions at the time the sentence was written. All of this information is saved.

The result is a database of several million human feelings, increasing by 15,000 – 20,000 new feelings per day. Using a series of playful interfaces, the feelings can be searched and sorted across a number of demographic slices, offering responses to specific questions like: do Europeans feel sad more often than Americans? Do women feel fat more often than men? Does rainy weather affect how we feel? What are the most representative feelings of female New Yorkers in their 20s? What do people feel right now in Baghdad? What were people feeling on Valentine’s Day? Which are the happiest cities in the world? The saddest? And so on.

The interface to this data is a self-organizing particle system, where each particle represents a single feeling posted by a single individual. The particles’ properties – color, size, shape, opacity – indicate the nature of the feeling inside, and any particle can be clicked to reveal the full sentence or photograph it contains. The particles careen wildly around the screen until asked to self-organize along any number of axes, expressing various pictures of human emotion. We Feel Fine paints these pictures in six formal movements titled: Madness, Murmurs, Montage, Mobs, Metrics, and Mounds.

At its core, We Feel Fine is an artwork authored by everyone. It will grow and change as we grow and change, reflecting what’s on our blogs, what’s in our hearts, what’s in our minds. We hope it makes the world seem a little smaller, and we hope it helps people see beauty in the everyday ups and downs of life.

It is my experience that feelings and thought walk hand in hand to create our vibration.  The emotional health of our vibrations is how the Universe decides what to send our way. Do you attract fabulous stuff? Do you attract not so fabulous stuff? Your creation is dependent upon your emotional health.

I see the role as life coach very simply today.  Show clients their personal power.

My job is to show my clients how to clear their path and their self view of all that says they are less than – less than deserving of material goods; less than deserving of the relationships they want with friends, family and significant other; less than deserving of anything they want.

Some must have told us that it’s only OK to want a certain amount. So a certain amount is what we get. Additionally, it is hard for us humans to remember that we came here for a purpose. In its broadest sense we came here (here being Planet Earth) to learn some other things in addition to our worthiness, our own personal power. What we learn appears to be our own choice.

For example, a client I’m working with is working on letting go of guilt and responsibility around her adult children. We spoke today about how when we enable other adults, we might keep them from growing into the wonderful humans they are in the process of becoming. When we enable other adults and rescue them from themselves, they never get to see their own inner resources or personal power nor seek the support they may decide they need or even fail and learn and grow from that.

We also spoke about the agreements we appear to make on some spiritual level in which we act in certain ways for our children’s growth and they do the same for us. Therefore everyone is in agreement. No one is a victim.

I have no idea how I developed the gift of being able to teach, model, intuit all that I do with clients but it appears to be an ever-developing gift. It sure is fun to be able to see, speak and help those people who want to grow in awareness and expand their lives. I love watching the magic of transformation as it occurs.   I love holding the hand of those I work with and becoming part of their magnificent unfolding.  I love seeing those I help exercise their own personal power for their own growth and benefit. It also keeps me aware of my own.

There are many questions that are frequently asked regarding life coaching. Many answers are found right here on this blog. Since this coaching trend is growing constantly and people are looking for more information like WHAT IS IT? and WHAT DOES IT DO? and WHAT WILL IT DO FOR ME?

Life coaching is a process of working with someone that is trained as a coach to help you figure out what you want most in life and how to get there. The coach will then assist you along the way as you work to obtain these goals. A major benefit of life coaching is you have someone to work with who will be able to exchange ideas, brainstorm, motivate, offer their intuition, support you in using your intuition and help you make a commitment to your goals. You have someone in the background holding you accountable to yourself and helping your see your great value and talents.

Life coaching can do anything for you that you want it too but you must put forth your effort and honesty to make it worth the investment. Find a life coach that you can work well with and make the necessary time and effort to work with your coach during your appointment and when you are working on your own in between sessions. The difference you can make in your life is beyond what you can imagine.
