What Life Coaching is:
Coaching is about assessing your present situation, creating a vision
of a preferred future, and taking concrete steps to bridge the gap.
Coaching is about taking your intentions one step further by putting
them into action. A life coach partners with people to help them live
in a manner which reflects their unique talents, goals and intentions,
in light of their particular contexts and definitions of success.
Today’s accelerated pace of life, increased mobility, and constant
transition all too often result in lack of clarity, in a vague sense
of discontent, busy-ness without focus, or a lack of transcendent
purpose. Carving out time to examine one’s own situation and
plot a purposeful course into the future can be difficult to do without
an external and objective source of encouragement and accountability.
Coaching keeps you moving in a positive direction.
Furthered Intentions Coaching:
Jen’s
coaching for individuals and couples starts with not only assessing
your current situation, but with determining what is going well and
what your strengths are. Using the Gallup Organization’s
well-researched tool, the Clifton StrengthsFinder®, your strengths
are measured accurately and a working knowledge of them is gained.
Then drawing from that well of resources we work together to create
an invigorating picture of the future. Keeping in mind how you are
uniquely equipped, Jen partners with you in your context and ushers
you into a more successful tomorrow.
What coaching is not:
• A quick fix. A coach will assist
you in identifying exactly what you’d
like to change and stick with you until you are satisfied with your
result; this takes time.
• An inconsequential relationship where you walk away and forget about
what was said. A co-created contextual assignment is assigned at the
end of the session to put legs on the discussion.
• A journey into past hurts. Those who struggle with clinical depression
and other forms of psychological malady will be referred to professional
therapists. While undergoing therapy, it may be possible to successfully
coach around a distinctively different topic.
• A waste of time. Coaching has been shown to affect change and get
results. It is an investment well worth the time.
