Life Coaching Expectations
What you can expect from your Life Coach
The role of life coach provides a kind of support distinct from any other. Your life coach will focus solely on your situations, with the kind of attention and commitment that you rarely experience elsewhere.
Your life coach will listen to you, with a genuine curiosity to understand who you are, what you think and generally how you experience the world. Your life coach will reflect back to you, with the kind of objective assessment that creates real clarity. During conversations, your life coach will encourage you to rise to challenges, overcome obstacles and get into action.
A life coaching relationship is like no other, simply because of its combination of objective detachment and commitment to the goals of the individuals.
Because the relationship is based on trust and openness, the contents of your discussions will be confidential. Where a third party has requested the life coaching for you, your life coach will agree with you the best way to keep them involved or updated.
What your Life Coach will expect from you
In return, your life coach will encourage you to stay committed to the life coaching process. That means showing up for sessions, taking your own notes where appropriate, and keeping any agreements you make during sessions.
In addition, your life coach needs you to be open to the potential of coaching. That means contributing to conversations honestly and openly. For example, if something isn't working, your life coach needs to know. If you have concerns or problems, voice them. If you know why a problem is occurring, say so. The strength and power of life coaching relates strongly to the level of openness and trust between the life coach and the coachee.
