Personal Coaching for U.S. and International Professionals
Sometimes personal issues impact our careers. When that happens coaching can help to target areas you want to change, discover the positive impact you hope to experience, identify challenges that might be slowing you down, turn the situation around and move forward. Personal coaching covers a wide spectrum of issues that the client wants to address, including: personal, family, work, career, avocation, and spiritual dimensions. While some clients enter the coaching relationship with clear target areas, others come because they feel “stuck” at some key place in their lives and want support to get unstuck, clear their path and create strategies to accomplish more than what they could have on their own.
Common Personal Coaching Issues
Here are some issues that clients want help from a coach to address:
- What’s my idea of a great life/career
- Identifying my priorities
- Finding my natural and acquired strengths
- Discovering my core values
- Uncovering my limiting beliefs
- What’s keeping me stuck!
- What’s holding me back from getting what I want?
- How do I create a life in balance (home/work)
Clarifying What’s Really Important
Deepening awareness and getting clarity about what's really important are major building blocks in the coaching process. Alignment comes when goals are in harmony with who you are and what you want to be in life and this alignment leads to desired actions and results. Most progress in coaching starts with asking key questions. Here are some:
- What I want out of life and what I want to give?
- What is "success"?
- What is a meaningful life?
- What do I want more of?
- What do I want less of?
- How I can contribute meaningfully?
- What kind of marriage, family and friends do I want?
- What kind of spouse, friend, colleague do I want to be?
- What kind of legacy do I want to leave?
- What’s most important for me to “be” and “do” with my life?
Learning from Life's Tests and Challenges
When life presents challenges that are unexpected or seem overwhelming, developing a learning perspective is critical to carry on. At such times, a coach can offer extra support, serve as a sounding board, garner lessons and determine how to move forward a stronger person.
