How do you know if you need a life coach?
There are many ways to determine if working with a life coach is right for you but a few common signs stand out among the rest. Let’s explore a few of the most common ways to tell if working with a life coach is right for you.
1. You need help setting and sticking to your goals
A good coach can help you define goals and determine the actions you need to take to be successful. If you’re feeling unsure about what your goals are or which goals to focus on in the here and now, you need a coach. Life coaches can help you distill your dreams and desires into goals that are the most important and impactful.
Once you’ve identified your goals your coach can help you break them down into doable steps. Many of us give up on goals because they become overwhelming. We can see where we are and where we want to go but it’s easy to get lost in the details of how we get to that endpoint. In other words, we need clear directions to get from point A (where we are now) to point B (where we want to go). Your coach can help you establish direction, stick it out when the going gets tough, and even help you reroute if the initial course doesn’t lead you to your desired destination.
2. You thrive on accountability
Once you set your goals and identify actions steps you might still find it challenging to follow through. That’s where a life coach becomes worth their weight in gold. Coaches are incredibly valuable for the role they play in helping you craft goals and actions steps, but the accountability your coach offers is often the real secret sauce in the recipe for your success.
Accountability can be the difference between accomplishing a goal and giving up. I might be showing my bias here but I don’t believe there is a better source of accountability to be found than accountability that comes from a coach that is invested in the outcome of your goal.
If you need a partner when it comes to following through on your goals, you, my friend, would benefit from working with a life coach.
3. You feel restless or stuck
Maybe you aren’t currently struggling with goals and follow through. Maybe you feel like you aren’t really working toward anything. We all feel stuck from time to time. Trapped in a routine that doesn’t seem to move the needle in the direction of our dreams. Bound to a career that has reached a dead end. Unable to level up in our own business.
A good life coach can help you break out of the spaces where you feel stuck. Stuck is an ideal space for a life coach to operate. Like I mentioned earlier in this post, coaches are great at helping you distill your dreams and desires. Coaches are masters at getting to the root cause of feelings like “stuck”. We help you move out of the rut you’ve set up camp in and onto a path that frees you.
