Sexual Category Differences – A Women’s Coach

Are men from Mars & women from Venus here too?

I realize that I am more inclined to coach women.  I have recently become aware that, although I have two sons and a great husband all of whom I have close and cherished relationships with, I am not in a man’s life or a man’s body or brain. I cannot view the world from their perspective and experience.

Because I have no brothers, a struggling first marriage and am sometimes very surprised by a male perspective on things, when  my husband and I were first together, I often “interview” my husband about a man’s perspective on things so I could learn.

That being said, I notice that most women – including me, are more emotional and more easily connected to spirit or a spiritual perspective. I have a different experience of the world just because I have different cultural biases, a different functioning body, I use makeup, I wear dresses and skirts not just pants, the media sees me differently, etc. I think it’s safe to say there are some gender differences even if they are culturally stimulated.

So I tend to have female clients with some notable exceptions like a single parent father with a child and a female ex- to deal with. I know that I am more drawn to talk about certain things with women – sex, feelings, even business perspectives.

I am not saying one is better than the other for a woman. Just different. I often have had some great short-term coaching from my husband and occasionally some other male coaches but most likely I’d never hire a male coach for an on-going experience. I need a women’s coach.

But that’s me. What about you?

    I’m a female (woman, lady), and I had a male life coach for over 5 years – and I loved him.

    He was absolutely brilliant and incredibly empathetic. I think the main reason he was so good for, was that he really couldn’t sympathize with my feelings but he certainly felt empathy.

    From my experience, I wouldn’t say ‘no’ to either a male or female life coach – I would choose the one that I resonated best with.
