Life
Skills Coaching.
So
just what is this stuff, all about?
Simply, that
Life Skills Coaching is about creating change and
helping people to grow personally.
All of us at this time are the sum of every single decision, no matter
how small, made up until this moment.
Even “not
making” a decision is an absolute choice.
So every experience we have had has forced us to make a decision
and in that process, we change as a consequence.
For example, two children have an alcoholic father.
Based
on their individual perceptions, one will choose to be like his
Dad and
become an alcoholic and one will choose to be the opposite
of his Dad
and become totally temperate.
Personal growth and Individual
change takes place whenever we face
an uncomfortable situation and work
out some way to deal with it.
This is the
so-called “Growing Edge.”
When
your whole body is screaming not to do something because you are
scared
stiff, and you do it any way, you grow as a person.
This is called Personal Development or Personal Growth
What Life
Skills Coaching is about is to help you become aware of the choices
you are
making (mostly automatically out of habit) and establish the
consequences if you continue.
The coach then will also encourage you to perhaps look at a
different
path.
At
no time does (or must) he take any responsibility for your decision and
actions.
(In fact, run a mile if you find yourself asking what to do and
then doing what the coach tells you!)
The reason is that if it goes wrong, who are you going to blame?
And if it goes right, to whom are you going to give the credit?
You are responsible for the Good, and the Bad.
Sharing
experiences on how you have coped with a particularly difficult
situation
will help and inspire others who may want to use your
solution.
And in the
Giving and the Receiving, both gain.
To your continued personal development.
